DEADLY SECRETS is book six in the Detective Erika Foster series and I have enjoyed every single book so far in the series. The great thing about the book is that you can read them separately without having read any of the previous books. Each book has a new case, and of course, there are personal developments throughout the books, but there should be no problems getting the gist of it when you start to get to know the recurring characters in the books.
The book starts off with the chilling murder of a young woman on her way home from work. It's a really brutal murder and Detective Erika Foster is determined to find the person who did this. As she digs deeper into the woman's life she learns the woman had a thing for married men and seemed to had a plan on leaving the UK for the States. Could the attack have been personal? Someone in her life that could have carried out such an awful deed? And, who is the man in black with a gas mask that attacks people, could he have something to do with the murder?
As usual, has Robert Bryndza written a crime novel that is engrossing and mysterious. Bryndza has a way of starting the books on a high note, with a criminal act that draws you in, and then the hunt is on. Erika Foster has to deal with some personal stuff in this book as well when she finds out that someone close to her is ill and she will also learn something about an old boyfriend that will rock her world. I breezed through this book and I especially loved the last part of the book when the case started to come together.
I enjoyed reading this book and I can't wait for book seven to be released. It will be interesting to see what Bryndza will come up with next.
