I have been a longtime fan of Robert Dugoni, and his talent has only improved with time. MY SISTER’S GRAVE  has everything: terrific plotting, well-drawn characters and solid writing. It’s a cross between a legal thriller and a police procedural. While reading it, I was dropped into a zone with a fast-paced story that grabbed me and wrapped me up in the adventure and storyline.

In it, Tracy Crosswhite is a Seattle homicide detective who is convinced that the man who was convicted of murdering her sister, Sarah, is not the right person. When Sarah’s remains are found in a lake bed 20 years after her death, Tracy’s theory becomes more sound. Her childhood friend collaborates with her to take a fresh look at the crime, and the action ramps up fast.

While some compare Dugoni to Grisham, I also am seeing touches of Sandra Brown as he writes relationships so well. He’s the kind of author who always delivers for me. I already am looking forward to his next book!
