Synopsis (Goodreads):

In the first thrilling Rogue Winter Novella, sleepy little Solitude, Oregon, wakes up to another deadly threat.

County investigator Seth Harding intends to spend the holidays with his newly reconciled family, but a few days before Christmas, a homicide thwarts his plan. Seth arrives at the scene and makes a painful discovery: the victim is his brother-in-law’s girlfriend. Her apartment has been ransacked and her toddler left motherless. To make matters worse, Seth’s brother-in-law, Bruce, is missing. With Solitude locked in a rare, deadly deep freeze and the temperature plummeting, the residents launch a desperate search.

Seth calls his wife, social worker Carly Taylor, to take the case so the little girl doesn’t get lost in the foster care system. With the holidays near, Carly brings the child home with them to celebrate Christmas. But when the Taylor farm is also trashed, Seth and Carly must race against time—and against a paralyzing winter storm—to find Bruce and catch a killer in the first pulse-pounding sequel to the Rogue River Novellas.

Thoughts on Tracks of her Tears: We're back with Seth and Carly as they work on making their marriage a priority again. That gets a little tough when a dead body pops up two days before Christmas. And when Carly's brother is missing.

Seeing as how compromise is the cornerstone of marriage, Seth and Carly have made big strides in that department. They both realize that prioritizing their relationship doesn't mean turning their back on everything else. Especially when it affects the Taylor family like it does. So they pull together and forgive one another when things get weird.

On the non-romantic front, Seth is drawn into investigating Bruce's girlfriend's death as Carly delves into doing what she can for the dead woman's baby. A few dangerous moments, a family rallying together, and Mama Taylor's gut instinct gives them a Christmas that isn't as terrible as it could have been.

Next up: More Zane and Stevie. I'm in.
