Bryndza never disappoints, his books are solid, quick reads with great, fully developed characters and I love the team of Kate & Tristan in particular.

‘What now? She had to disappear. Her body. Her computer. All DNA evidence had to vanish.’
Twelve years ago, journalist Joanna Duncan disappeared after exposing a political scandal. Her mother Bev is still hoping for answers and approached Private Investigator Kate Marshall to investigate. Kate’s fledgling private investigation agency is happy to take on the case: the biggest one that she and partner Tristan Harper have taken on so far.
Kate and Tristan are given access to the original case files and start following the same leads. But amongst Joanna’s personal effects finds the names of two young men. Investigation reveals that those two young men had also vanished without a trace. Could this be related to the political scandal Joanna uncovered before she disappeared?
Before establishing her private investigation agency, Kate was a detective and criminology lecturer. She has a holiday caravan business to run as well: fortunately, her 18-year-old son Jake will be spending his summer holidays with her to help. Tristan, who still works part time at the university, has some issues of his own to deal with, including a very protective sister. Between them, Kate and Tristan track down several key witnesses from twelve years earlier. What was Joanna investigating when she disappeared? And how are the missing men linked? The story unfolds, with a couple of unexpected twists, to a surprising (and satisfying) ending.
This is the third book in Mr Bryndza’s Kate Marshall series. I have not (yet) read the first two books.
Recommended.
Note: My thanks to NetGalley and Thomas & Mercer for providing me with a free electronic copy of this book for review purposes.

Such a treat for all Kate Marshall fans. With each story this series only gets better and better.
Há autores aos quais me fidelizei. Assim que um novo livro é publicado, corro em busca de um exemplar, desejosa que fico de absorver mais um pouco da sua escrita, envolvendo-me na sua profícua imaginação. Robert Bryndza é um desses autores, já com cartas dadas na sua série protagonizada por Erika Foster, tendo iniciado mais recentemente um novo capítulo da sua carreira.
O terceiro volume da saga Kate Marshall é a busca incessante por uma jornalista desaparecida há 13 anos, envolvendo escândalos políticos ao mais alto nível e misteriosas conexões a jovens também eles desaparecidos. Marshall surge em Momento Final como detective privada por conta própria, e não recusa o desesperado pedido da mãe da jornalista em questão para deslindar o mistério por detrás do seu desaparecimento. O resultado é uma agitada investigação que percorre os sinuosos meandros de um criminoso anónimo e implacável…
Momento Final não desilude. Bryndza é um dos meus autores favoritos do género policial na actualidade, mantendo vivo o interesse do leitor em cada página volvida. Leitura fácil, envolvente e cativante, pela pena de um autor que merece ser conhecido e seguido. E que me mantém constantemente ansiosa pelo próximo tomo!

Copy kindly received via NetGalley for an honest review.
This was another gripping story from Robert Bryndza. The case leads Kate and Tristan down many different paths, but in the end it all comes together so well. I had figured out who I thought it was, and then the story took some turns and in the end, well, I didn't see that coming.
I enjoy being along for the ride and playing detective with Kate and Tristan, and getting both of their POV's as the story and case unfolds. Enjoyed this one and looking forward to more.

It was a good book but nothing special. The reveal was pretty obvious. I would've enjoyed reading about the serial killer more.
