A sumptuous plot filled with believable twists that continue until the final page and realistic characters elevate Robert Dugoni’s fourth outstanding novel about Seattle homicide detective Tracy Crosswhite.
Tracy makes one of the most engaging — and insightful — detectives who deals daily with a tragic past, yet tries to live in the moment. The rapport she has with her team adds to the sense of authenticity to “The Trapped Girl.” In addition to being a solid police procedural, “The Trapped Girl” works well as a story about greed, relationships and identity.
The investigation into the murder of a woman, whose body was found in a crab pot, quickly becomes complicated. Seattle and its environs are well explored, from its surrounding islands to the view from Mount Rainier.
