20181013_182233.jpgHappy Sunday! Today I have a review of and giveaway for the second installment in the Detective Erika Foster series by Robert Bryndza, The Night Stalker, now available in paperback in the United States via Grand Central Publishing! Please read on for my thoughts and for a chance to win a copy!

My Thoughts:

I was a huge fan of Robert Bryndza’s first installment in the Erika Foster series, The Girl in the Ice! It kept me on the edge of my seat, and the writing was flawless! 

I think Bryndza topped himself with installment number two, The Night Stalker! 

Everyone’s new favorite heroine, Erika Foster, is called to a murder scene in the heat of a summer night. A doctor is found deceased in his bed, and the method appears to be suffocation. Not long thereafter, someone else is found dead in the same manner. You may sense where this is going…Erika has a serial killer on her hands. 

The heat of summer builds in London, as does the mystery surrounding these murders. What is the link between these single male victims? 

If you know Erika, she’ll stop at nothing to solve these crimes, but will she become a victim in the process?

Bryndza is a talented writer. The tension starts at page one and never lets go. More about Erika and her past marriage comes to light, and we also connect with Moss and Peterson. Isaac is a charmer and wonderful friend to Erika. I loved watching his character grow. The Night Stalker has all the character development I could have asked for and more. I am now fully invested in Erika’s team and am hooked in for the next installment! If you follow my reviews, you know it’s challenging to get me to follow a series, but I will definitely be following Erika! 

How far will Erika and her team delve into darkness in order to solve the crimes of The Night Stalker? 

 Thanks to Grand Central Publishing for the invitation to read and review The Night Stalker, as well as for sponsoring the giveaways! All opinions are my own. 

Synopsis:

If the Night Stalker is watching, you’re already dead…

In the dead of a swelteringly hot summer’s night, Detective Erika Foster is called to a murder scene. The victim, a doctor, is found suffocated in bed. His wrists are bound and his eyes bulging through a clear plastic bag tied tight over his head.

A few days later, another victim is found dead, in exactly the same circumstances. As Erika and her team start digging deeper, they discover a calculated serial killer – stalking their victims before choosing the right moment to strike.

The victims are all single men, with very private lives. Why are their pasts shrouded in secrecy? And what links them to the killer?

As a heat wave descends upon London, Erika will do everything to stop the Night Stalker before the body count rises, even if it means risking her job. But the victims might not be the only ones being watched… Erika’s own life could be on the line.

The global bestselling author of The Girl in the Ice is back with a heart-racing, electrifying thriller. If you love Angela Marsons, Rachel Abbott and Karin Slaughter, you’ll be hooked on Robert Bryndza.
