I’m glad I bought the second book in the Tracy Crosswhite series. The first one was a good thriller, but it also had some disappointing moments. The second one is great. I couldn’t figure out who the killer was. It fooled me well.
To some extent, the first two books are connected, as the murder is introduced in the first book, although it is only mentioned. In the second book, we will see Tracy Crosswhite work on it.
Here are some good parts about the book:
- No superheroes or super-heroic traits. Any success is achieved by regular police work
- More than one case at the same time, reminding me of the best books by Michael Connelly
- Characters behave logically. We had some cases of comical stupidity in part one and while real life is full of that, I don’t like reading it in thrillers
- More than one meaningful character. It’s not all about Tracy. Her colleagues and partner help significantly
Overall, a clear 5*/5. I’m already half-way through the third one, and the fourth is rolling on the floor next to my bed. It’s a solid series, won’t be surprised if it gets mentioned in the annual reading summary.
