Erika Foster Series

After finishing the series about detective Blix and journalist Emma Ramm, I started reading the English crime series featuring detective Erika Foster, written by Robert Bryndza. Below are my thoughts on the published books in this series:

The following books have been published in this series.

1. The Girl in the Ice – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – I had to adjust to Bryndza’s writing style, particularly in how he introduces the main characters, including Erika Foster. However, as the story progressed, it became increasingly enjoyable, and the characters developed nicely.
2. The Night Stalker – ⭐️⭐️ – This story took a while to gain momentum. I found the pacing lacking, which is something I typically appreciate in a good crime novel.
3. Dark Water – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – (Thoughts pending)
4. Last Breath – ⭐️⭐️⭐️ – An exciting and gruesome story, but it felt a bit long-winded. The thrilling pace I expected only picked up in the last five chapters.
5. Cold Blood – ⭐️⭐️⭐️ – This book was excessively drawn out, making it challenging to finish. After five books, I’m pausing my journey with this series for now.
6. Deadly Secrets – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – This sixth installment was the most enjoyable so far, with a great balance of pace and tension.
7. Fatal Witness – ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ – Maybe the best book in this series till date. I didn’t experience a lot a tension while reading this story but the plot and characters were good.
8. Lethal Vengeance – (Rating and thoughts pending)
