Tracy Crosswhite's life was radically changed the night her sister, Sarah, disappeared. It caused her to become the great homicide detective that she is, but it also left her with an obsession that has completely controlled her life. Even after 20 years, in her spare time, she still investigates her sister's case. A man had been arrested, charged and convicted of Sarah's kidnapping and murder even though her body had never been found. Until now.

Sherriff Roy Calloway has been in charge of Cedar Grove for years and was on duty that day in 1993 when Sarah Crosswhite vanished without a trace. It is a bitter victory for him that her body has been found 20 years later. This was supposed to have been done and over all those years ago. Yet, it appears that it is now just beginning.

Tracy returns to her old home town of Cedar Grove to deal with the fallout. In the process of arranging her sister's memorial and doing some poking around, she re-connects with a childhood friend. Dan O'Leary has grown up quite nicely and is now an attorney in Cedar Grove. The two of them spend some time getting reacquainted which leads to the decision that Edmund House, serving time in prison all these years for Sarah's murder, might not have done it. That means the murderer may still be walking around free and that is too dangerous to even contemplate.

Told in both the past and present, MY SISTER'S GRAVE takes the reader on a roller coaster ride of mystery, murder, secrets and lies. Tracy is quite a dedicated and determined character as she does everything she can to unearth the many misconceptions surrounding the death of her sister. Her personality pulls you in and carries you along with every frustrating step as she gets closer and closer to the answers she seeks.

The emotions in MY SISTER'S GRAVE are real and you will be hard pressed to remember that you are simply reading a book because you will feel so involved in the town of Cedar Grove. The residents will be like your neighbors and acquaintances. Written in such descriptive terms that you can practically see the sparkling river and lush forests that surround the town, Robert Dugoni commands the full attention of his readers.

The mysteries are deep and the fear of danger is heart pounding. MY SISTER'S GRAVE will be almost impossible to put down once you have begun the journey it presents. Only after reading this did I discover that MY SISTER'S GRAVE is a sequel to another book by Dugoni. Obviously, I must get a copy of that one also. He has created some memorable characters that are practically three dimensional. I could totally see myself hanging out with Tracy, which to me, is the sign of a perfectly crafted character.

There are not enough words to describe the wonders of MY SISTER'S GRAVE. Suffice it to say that, when you are ready to sit down with a book that will mesmerize you from the first page; this is the one.
