Summary

An Amazon Charts and Wall Street Journal bestseller.

"Tracy Crosswhite is one of the best protagonists in the realm of crime fiction today, and there is nothing cold about A Cold Trail." (Associated Press)

In New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni's riveting series, Seattle homicide detective Tracy Crosswhite returns home to a brutal murder and her haunted past.

The last time homicide detective Tracy Crosswhite was in Cedar Grove, it was to see her sister's killer put behind bars. Now she's returned for a respite and the chance to put her life back in order for herself, her attorney husband, Dan, and their new daughter. But tragic memories soon prove impossible to escape.

Dan is drawn into representing a local merchant whose business is jeopardized by the town's revitalization. And Tracy is urged by the local PD to put her own skills to work on a new case: the brutal murder of a police officer's wife and local reporter who was investigating a cold-case slaying of a young woman. As Tracy's and Dan's cases crisscross, Tracy's trail becomes dangerous. It's stirring up her own haunted past and a decades-old conspiracy in Cedar Grove that has erupted in murder. Getting to the truth is all that matters. But what’s Tracy willing to risk as a killer gets closer to her and threatens everyone she loves?

Excellent listen

My only critique is the terrible Irish accent, which surprised me as the narrator is normally really good!!

One of his best.

This includes almost all the major characters in a neat plot providing another entertaining stage in the heroine’s domestic life and career choices.

Yeah but no!!

I love the book, but the Irish accent was painful to listen to!! She'd get one word right out of every third or fourth accent and this isn't the only accent she's done in these books that were nothing short of horrendous!! The rest of the performance was otherwise great!!

Fabulous book

Oh wow! Not sure what to say, this was another emotionally charged story. My heart hurts but at the same time I still loved getting to know more about these characters lives. I was hooked from the first page to the last. Awesome narration too.

Good instalment in the series

A good plot which ties up some loose ends from previous episodes in Tracy Crosswhite’s story. Difficult to listen to the dreadful ‘Irish’ accent though, also the strange Norwegian one.
This is often a problem with narrators who can read well, but not act or assume an accent. The previous book in this series was the same, with poor attempts at ‘Indian’ voices.
If you can get past that, the story is a good combination of Tracy’s home and working lives and the tensions between them.

Not as good

While I did enjoy the book, I like the trial parts and the legal arguments, but this type of book is what I call a “filler” where they’re trying to factor a perceived inconvenient part of the story, which could maybe have just skipped on six months and a new book started there. This probably won’t make sense until you read it and I would recommend it, but as I said not as good as the others

Yet another great story in the series.

Interesting storyline with plenty of plot twists. Kept me guessing to the end. Minor downside was missing the other detectives from previouss stories. Really nice to see Foz in this one. Well worth a read/listen.

The trouble caused by other people.

The crime has many layers and grows from childhood interactions and seemingly trivial jealouses. Just like real life.

The worst Irish accent I’ve ever heard!

I was enjoying the story but couldn’t continue. One of us had to go - me or the nanny! Every time the ‘supposed’ Irish nanny speaks I expect my mother and grandparents to rise from their graves in horror! I tolerated the odd O’Leary-speak from previous books because there wasn’t much of it.
The general narration of the stories is fine until an accent is required. The narrator cannot do accents! In book 6 the ‘Indian’ accents were equally appalling. As an NHS worker I have friends and colleagues from all over India and those accents made me cringe but I soldiered on. Not prepared to do that any more. Not even for Dugoni.
I won’t be listening to any more books narrated by this person. I can’t review the story, as I’m unable to continue listening.
