I seem to have a thing for catching a crime series and going as far as I can with it. This book was part 4 of a series of 6, makes you wish there were at least 5 more. Robert Dugoni needs to learn from Janet Evanovich and Alexandra Marinina. Six books is not enough for a successful Sherlock to fully develop. We need more.
Back to the book.
A crab poacher finds a trap with a dead woman inside, 20-25 meters underwater. Detective Tracy Crosswhite starts digging into the story, one clue at a time. It’s not very clear who the victim was but there was no shortage of people who had the means and motivation to harm her. The case is in good hands. Detective Crosswhite is tall, persistent, and a sharp shooter. Out of these qualities, she’ll most frequently need the first one, because clues are sometimes placed on high shelves.
The story is simple, the characters are believable, and vaguely remind you of someone. Multiple detectives are following the leads. No genius conclusions or superheroism. I wasn’t even close to guessing what really happened and why. Robert Dugoni is building up the protagonists slowly but surely. I won’t be surprised if this series turns into a romance within 3-4 books.
5*/5, and probably the best of the series so far.
