A review by judithdcollins
Devil's Way by Robert Bryndza
4.0
Robert Bryndza returns following Fatal Witness (Detective Erika Foster #7) with his other popular series, (PI Kate Marshall #4) DEVIL'S WAY.
Kate finds herself in the hospital with an unlikely roommate —a woman who hires her to find her missing grandson in this riveting whodunit mystery.
Kate has been sober for thirteen years and misses her son, Jake, away at university. She runs her Private detective agency with her partner Tristan Harper, resides on Thurlow Bay, and enjoys swimming every morning.
In this exciting 4th installment, Private Investigator Kate Marshall ends up in the hospital after she hits a riptide on her daily morning swim.
The older woman, Jean, in the hospital bed next to her, complains a lot, and while getting to know one another, she tells her about a camping trip to Dartmoor eleven years ago with her family, where her three-year-old grandson went missing and was never found.
After an investigation, there were not any clues and it was assumed he fell into the river and drowned. Jean's daughter, Becky, could not cope with the tragedy and committed suicide.
Jean has been haunted since then and uses her savings and hires Kate and Tristan to take on the case.
The camp area was not the best but the family did not have much money and they just wanted to have a fun camp weekend. The little boy was in the grandmother's tent and she stepped out for a cigarette and he disappeared.
Tristan is taking on a larger role since Kate is still recovering; however, they dig deep into Jean's history, Dartmoor, and police investigations, and they find a connection with a brutal murder of a social worker, Anna Treadwell after Charlies disappeared.
Are the two related?
Was Charlie abducted? Or did he fall into Devil's Way? What about members and friends of the family? Was something more sinister involved?
Dark and twisty—a multi-layered and complex mystery with vivid descriptions and well-developed characters.
The author always knows how to grab and hold you! I was invested in the characters and could not wait to learn about this little boy.
I love Kate and Tristan and enjoyed the sleuthing and sharp investigative skills as they unraveled the secrets of the past and cold case —to bring closure to a case that has gone unsolved for many years by the local authorities.
For fans of this series and new fans of crime thrillers, cop procedurals, and PI mysteries. Devil's Way can be read as a standalone; however, you will enjoy Kate so much that you will want to go back and read the others.
I am a fan of Erika Foster and Kate Marshall and look forward to seeing what comes next. I listened to the audiobook narrated by Jan Cramer for an outstanding and engaging performance. #CoverLove
