A Dead Draw by Robert Dugoni is the eleventh book of his Tracy Crosswhite series. It’s a police detective thriller/suspense novel. 

I’ve really enjoyed this series over the years and I appreciate how Tracy’s character has changed and aged as the series has gone along. The return to Tracy’s roots with the competitive shooting was interesting to me, as my kids and I both participate in recreational shooting competitions. There’s quite a bit of technical explanation of her police qualifying and competitive shooting elements and, personally, I found these parts engaging and relatable.

I did like this one but I found myself getting increasingly frustrated with Tracy, and even Dan, as the story went on with some of their decisions. This made it hard to really enjoy the book. That being said, I will continue to recommend this series as a whole as it’s still one of my favorite detective series.
