Deadly Secrets
by Robert Bryndza
HAPPY PUB DAY!
As a long time fan of this series I gotta ask; how has Rob Bryndza kept us holding bated breath for so many years?! Typically (maybe 90% of the time?) I lose interest in long running series after the third book; at this point the author has usually lost their mojo or become too repetitive for my taste, but not here. Bryndza has created a memorable cast full of heart, soul, and wit that isn't found elsewhere. It's no secret that police procedurals can become stale and monotonous, but Erika Foster and her gang of humorous law enforcement agents have that special something that a reader looks for when committing their time on numerous occasions to the same atmosphere.
I hate delving into plot details for these novels, but the format reads fairly similar to the others in the series. The chapters are brief and snappy, holding the attention well and gripping you from beginning to end. We do get some unique perspectives, mostly from Erika but also from the darker side of the story (I'll not say more for risk of spoilers!) and from the teammates as well. The book is easy to breeze right through, the case(s?) pertaining to this installment were intriguing, and we receive some shocking development from one of our reoccurring characters. Duh duh DUH!!!!
All in all, this was a fabulous read. If you've enjoyed the previous novels in the series it's a sure bet that you'll love this one as well. If you haven't had the pleasure of diving into this series yet, please do yourself a favor and start at the beginning! There are some details mentioned here that would make it difficult to go back and enjoy the twists as they were meant to be absorbed in previous novels. In case you're new to Bryndza's work, The Girl In The Ice is the first book in the series and is currently being released in the US! Woo hoo! Well done Rob; I can't wait to read more about Erika and how she resolves a few things in her personal life. <3
