  Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons!   In Her Tracks by Robert Dugoni is on sale this week. And to celebrate, I'm sharing all of my reviews for the Tracy Crosswhite series thus far. Enjoy!            In the Clearing is book three in the Tracy Crosswhite detective series by Robert Dugoni. It is published by Thomas and Mercer, an imprint of Amazon. It brings us into the heart of two mysteries; one in present-day and one begun forty years prior. In 1976 a young Native American girl named Kimi Kanasket disappeared while walking home from her job as a waitress. Fearing that something happened to her, Officer Buzz Almond worked with a search party to find the teenager. What he ended up finding was the girl's body, and her death was concluded as a suicide. Over the years as Almond's career finally led him to become sheriff, he never stopped digging. He knew that there was more to her case than a simple suicide.     D...

  Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons!   This series had been recommended to me by many of my friends and family. I am happy to say that finally I have been introduced to Robert Langdon. And this is one series that I plan to devour visually. The first book swept me up in a grand adventure riddled with mystery and suspense. What can I say, but I am amazed that I have not picked this up sooner than I did.      Angels and Demons is the first novel in the Robert Langdon series of adventure novels written by Dan Brown. The edition that I read was published by Atria Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster. In it, we are introduced to Harvard Professor Robert Langdon. A somewhat famous symbologist, whose work on researching the Illuminati had in the past drawn him into the limelight of academia. Comfortable at his position as a Harvard professor, Langdon leads a quiet life...
