Author: Robert Dugoni
Published Date: 2016-05-17
A cold case preoccupies Tracy Crosswhite in Dugoni’s well-plotted third crime novel featuring the Seattle homicide detective (after 2015’s Her Final Breath). Klickitat County Sheriff Jenny Almond asks Tracy to take a look at a file that Jenny’s late father, retired sheriff Buzz Almond, held on to for forty years. One night in 1976, high school senior Kimi Kanasket never made it home from the diner where she worked. Her body was later found in the White Salmon River, and her death was ruled a suicide. Buzz, then a deputy sheriff, did his duty by retracing Kimi’s route home, but he was later told by the detective in charge, Jerry Ostertag, to leave the investigation alone. In the present, Buzz’s file and the help of experts like senior crime scene analyst Kaylee Wright and forensic anthropologist Kelly Rosa put Tracy on the trail of four former high school football stars known as the Four Ironmen. Tracy displays ingenuity and bravery as she strives to figure out who killed Kimi.“Dugoni’s third Tracy Crosswhite novel (after Her Final Breath) continues his series’s standard of excellence with superb plotting and skillful balancing of the two story lines. VERDICT: New readers can enjoy this as a stand-alone; they and series fans will be captivated by the issues and foibles that drive Tracy and strengthen her resolve.” —Library Journal, Starred Review“Tracy is a well-crafted character...Readers of the first two books will enjoy this one, and, because it can be read as a stand-alone, newcomers can jump right in.” —Booklist“Dugoni has become one of the best crime novelists in the business...Dugoni brings humor, emotional resonance, and gripping prose to his entire cast of characters. Newcomers will seek out the previous two novels in the series, and readers of the earlier entries will love this one as well.” —RT Book Reviews, Top Pick“[Robert Dugoni] tops himself in the darkly brilliant and mesmerizing In the Clearing, an ironically apt title for a tale in which nothing at all is clear...Dugoni, once known for Grisham-esque legal thrillers, continues to expand his considerable talents on a much broader canvas, staking out a claim to literary relevance established by the likes of Tony Hillerman and John D. MacDonald. Clearly not to be missed.” —Providence Rhode Island Journal“In the Clearing is Dugoni’s third crime novel featuring the Seattle homicide detective. Tracy Crosswhite returns in a well plotted narrative that presents readers with a complex and engrossing story to keep them turning the pages to the last. Recommended for all fans of modern detective fiction.” —AuthorLink“Not to be missed. The characters and case will draw you in and hold you til the last page.” —Night Owl Reviews
The gripping third book in the internationally acclaimed series by New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni.
Detective Tracy Crosswhite has a skill, and a soft spot, for tackling unsolved crimes. Having lost her own sister to murder at a young age, Tracy has dedicated her career to bringing justice and closure to the families and friends of victims of crime.
So when Jenny, a former police academy classmate and protégé, asks Tracy to help solve a cold case that involves the suspicious suicide of a Native American high school girl forty years earlier, Tracy agrees. Following up on evidence Jenny’s detective father collected when he was the investigating deputy, Tracy probes one small town’s memory and finds dark, well-concealed secrets hidden within the community’s fabric. Can Tracy uphold the promise she’s made to the dead girl’s family and deliver the truth of what happened to their daughter? Or will she become the next victim?

Originally classified a suicide by the ME, the Sheriff in 1976 and Tracy, herself, believe it to be murder.

Her usual supporting cast are busy solving this one. for good measure, Mr. Dugoni has thrown a twist in here as well.The main protagonist, Tracy Crosswhite and her supporting cast from the Seattle PD are very well developed. The Crosswhite novels are a bit different in that they methodically detail the crimes as thrillers. They also detail the solving of the crimes very well as police procedurals.Once again, Mr. Dugoni just keeps moving forward steadily. He wastes no chapters with unwanted fillers or fluff.This is the 3rd installment of the original trilogy. A 4th book is in the works due in Jan. 2017.Dugoni Hits another one out of the park in the Crosswhite series. These Tracy Crosswhite books just keep getting better and better. This time Detective Tracy Crosswhite is working on two cases. One, a cold case involving a young Native American high school student with a bright future ahead of her who's death 40 years prior was ruled a suicide. The young deputy, Buzz Almond, who worked on the case never agreed with the findings and had kept a file hidden at home. After serving as Sherriff and passing away, his daughter, Jenny becomes the new Sherriff and discovers the file. Jenny senses her father was right and calls in her friend, homicide detective Tracy Crosswhite to take a look at the case. What she discovers is a secret that has ruined the lives of nearly everyone involved. As with previous Crosswhite novels, the characters are well developed, you can easily relate to each of them and become engrossed in each of their stories, the end is a surprise worth waiting for, in the other case, a good upstanding man and father going through a bitter divorce is killed while coming to pickup his fragile son for the weekend. Both the son and the materialistic, self-centered, soon to be ex-wife admit to shooting the Tom, the father and estranged husband and things just don't add up. With both of them admitting to shooting Tom, there's reasonable doubt to convict either of them. The fact that the wife's father is a talented and successful defense attorney only adds to the problem. Tracy and her team have to bring all of their experience and their sometimes non- traditional methods of detective work they can to bare as they work to unwind the mystery of what happened to Tom Collins. Another page turner that I didn't want to end. Keeps you engrossed throughout. I've already started reading the next one.Tracy Crosswhite At Her Best This is the third novel in the Tracy Crosswhite Series. I had just finished the sixth novel in this series, and I knew that I needed to go back and read the only novel in the series that I had not read.The novel opens in southern Washington state with the death of a young Native American woman in 1976. The death is ruled a suicide, but a brand new deputy sheriff, Buzz Almond, doesn’t believe so. He does a thorough investigation. He has his suspicions but the investigation turns cold.The storylines jumps to modern day — 2016 in this case. Tracy receives a call of a shooting in an upper-class community. It was domestic violence where the husband was shot by the wife. The wife’s father is a prominent and contentious defense attorney. It looks like an open and shut case, but all isn’t as it seems and becomes quite complex very quickly.The storyline moves to southern Washington with the funeral of Buzz Almond. Tracy and her boyfriend, Dan, are invited to the funeral by Jenny Almond, Buzz’s daughter. Jenny was a classmate of Tracy’s at the Police Academy. She became homesick and returned home to follow in her father’s footsteps. She asks Tracy to review the case file that her father had kept all those years of the young Native American woman’s death to see if there was something there. While the death did not occur within her jurisdiction, she would grease the skids with the local police for Tracy. Tracy accepts but must clear it with her captain and longtime nemesis. Both storylines proceed with interesting twists and turns that captured and maintained my attention throughout the entire novel.The B-storyline is rich. The relationship between Tracy and her boyfriend, Dan, is maturing with significant steps occurring in this book. The major B-storyline concerns Tracy’s partner, Kins, and his marriage. These B-storylines are woven into the main storylines very naturally and enrichens the enjoyment of the novel for me.This novel uses only four f-bomb and a few more minor uses of vulgar language. All of it was consistent with the characters and situation. There wasn’t any graphic sex. Therefore, these two areas should not stop anyone from reading this novel. The author provides adequate backfill for any points from the previous novels that pertain to this novel.As I wrote at the start of this review, I recently completed the sixth novel in this series. I enjoyed that novel so much that I just needed to go back read the one novel that I had skipped. I really enjoyed reading this novel. I give it five stars and strongly recommend it to all to read.
