Robert Slams it out of the park yet again! I firstly want to thank NetGalley, Bookouture, and Robert Bryndza for a ARC copy of Deadly Secrets, with the awesome Erika Foster. The only issue I had was that it was over. I think this has to be my favorite so far. There will be more won’t there????
This installment is yet another fast-paced, dark, chilling, and gripping police procedural thriller that grabbed my attention immediately and held it right until that thrilling and unexpected ending. I like many other readers will warn you that you shouldn’t start this book if you do not have time to finish it. Have always enjoyed Erika Foster books I feel like I am watching a movie and can’t stop. There was a big change in this novel you as a reader got the chance to see the softer side of Erika Foster. The short chapters make it a much more fun experience and each case is unique and individual you don’t feel like you’re reading the same thing in each installment which makes it fun. This book begins with a murder of a young woman. The next morning, a mother wakes up to find her blood-soaked body frozen to the ground. Who would commit such a murder so close to the victim's home? Erika Foster is called to the scene and quickly learns that there have been a series of assaults close to the neighborhood where the young woman was killed. As the case progresses you find out that all the people on the victim’s life. have a different opinion of who she was. I love that Erica typically a one man show but we got a little bit more of Moss in the mix and that was a lot of fun to see. Robert books are typically like an onion you have layers and layers of mystery. This book is the perfect read for those who love mystery’s, thrillers, police procedural, etc. The scenes are not overly graphic, so they should not turn off the majority of readers. If this is your first book by Robert Bryndza welcome to the fold. If you are coming back for more next stop book 7. 5 Deadly addictive stars from me.

This was an excellent addition to the series. Lots of twists and turns along the way, plus several detours to add even more nuance to the story. Erika was out of town seeing to her ailing father-in-law during a few days at the height of the case, and some big excitement happened during that time. But she finished up and got home in time to set things straight, as usual.

Detective Inspector Peterson is back to work following his recuperation for injuries from a previous book - um, or case - but relations are a bit strained between him and Erika, which is not surprising as her relations with everyone are normally strained to some extent. But he seems to have a secret that Erika is afraid to hear, and when she discovers what it is, the relationship strains to the breaking point.

The ending was interesting and unexpected, to say the least. ( )

To be reviewed over at Fresh Fiction! ( )

Robert Bryndza heeft weer een spannende thriller over Erika Foster geschreven die je gewoon in een ruk uit moet lezen. Erika wordt geconfronteerd met de moord op een jonge mooie burleske danseres. Ze ligt voor haar eigen voordeur in de tuin en heeft niet weten te ontsnappen aan haar belager. Dan blijken er meerdere aanvallen te zijn geweest die allemaal zijn gepleegd door iemand met een gasmasker op. Hier zijn geen doden bij gevallen, Maar Marissa Lewis heeft dat geluk niet gehad. Is dit ook een daad van de gasmaskerman of speelt hier toch iets anders?
In dit boek is ook een grotere rol toebedacht aan Kate Moss, die Erika als chef moet vervangen als Erika onverwacht weg wordt geroepen om haar schoonvader Edward te helpen. Spannend, met hints die geen hints blijken te zijn en dingen die dat wel waren maar die je niet gezien hebt. Ik kan niet wachten tot het volgende boek van Robert Bryndza. ( )

Wat een fantastische schrijver, op een dag uit gelezen. ( )
