My Thoughts
I have been hearing many positive things about Robert Bryndza so I was keen to read his books. I was not disappointed with Deadly Secrets.
The story kept me entertained until the end. Marissa Lewis
has been murdered, and as the police dig deeper we discover there are many
sides to her life with plenty of potential suspects for her murder.
I felt the story was well-plotted and I never felt lost as new
characters appeared on the scene. There was sufficient information about
ongoing characters (Erika’s colleagues, her father in law) to understand the
relationships without getting bogged down in the past. Locations and atmosphere are well described
and the pacing always left me anticipating what was going to happen next.
This is the first Detective Erika Foster book I have read,
but it’s the 6th in the series. My one disappointment is that there are significant
spoilers for book 5 in Deadly Secrets. If you do plan on reading this series I
would highly recommend you start with book 1. That’s what I plan to do.
