High profile people are winding up murdered in a personal and humiliating way. Are the deaths related? What is the connection?
This is the 8th book in the Erika Foster series and it doesn't disappoint. Erika is comfortable in her newish relationship but is struggling balancing her work and her personal life. Igors son is fascinated by Erika's cases but she isn't sure how much a teenager can handle. Plus she is worried that Igor is wanting more from her than she is ready to give.
While I always root for Erika I found myself empathizing with the killer to the point where I really wanted them to get away. This is a twisty turny suspenseful story. Erika doesn't always play be the rules and with high profile victims she is needing to toe the line and its not somethings she does well. This is a great series that just keeps getting better.
This is the eighth book in the series featuring Detective Erika Foster and it certainly didn’t disappoint. Erica is on a night out with her partner. She takes a break outside but finds herself answering someone’s call for help as a body has been discovered. The man is naked and has been tied to the bed and Erika immediately recognises him as a prominent MP. As she begins her investigation she is informed by the higher powers that his death was due to natural causes but Erika remained suspicious.. A few months later another two bodies are found in the same circumstances . One is a well known casting director and the other one is a famous footballer, Erika and her team realise that they are now looking for a serial killer but soon discovers that the Commander is putting obstacles in their way. A video is found of five women but the mystery is that they are made up to look identical, How are they going to identify one of them as the potential killer. As the investigation continues the case reveals a series of secrets and lies from the Met. This case was a really complex one as we learn more about the killer and the victims. This was another tense read, fast moving with plenty of action and twists and turns. A really enjoyable read and I look forward to the next book in the series.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.
Another great addition in the Erika Foster series. As always Robert Brenda delivers and fast-paced, page turner. Instant buy author for me. Highly recommend this series and his other books. Thank you NetGalley and Robert Bryndza for this free eARC!
OMG a new Erika Foster book! I love,this series I have been a huge fan since book 1. While,you could read this as a stand alone, I highly recommend you read the series from the start because they are a cracking series of books. Tense and fast paced it had me madly turning pages late into the night. It was seriously impossible to put down so I read it in one sitting. Highly recommended totally worth five stars.
I've read all of the Erika Foster books and this one did not disappoint. I love Erika's character and how she has been developed over the series. I'm always excited to see new books being added to her story. This one had just enough personal background with crime mixed together. I can't wait for the next, I hope Erika continues to be a character we get to follow!
Robert Bryndza is such a talented author that when of his books comes up for reading and reviewing, it is an absolute no-brainer to put my hand up for it! It is no reflection on his talents that I have been slow in reading this particular book - a bit going on in my private life - however, I am catching up!
I love the character of Erika Foster so much, and it is typical of her that her job trumps her private life, quite often.
She gets dragged into a very perplexing case and as she slowly figures out what is happening the twists and turns keep on coming and the tension ratchets up.
5 stars from me.
Thank you to NetGalley and Raven Street Publishing.
Firstly a politicians hogtied body is found, then a few months later the death of a famous footballer with similarly suspicious circumstances means that Detective Erika Foster is on the hunt for a serial killer. A great read as always, lots of suspense to keep us guessing and I just love Detective Erika Foster.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for an advanced digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

I received a free copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
SHES BACK!!!!!! And taking no nonsense. Absolute page turner with a murderer worthy of Erikas time.
Another excellent novel by Robert Bryndza in the series featuring Detective Erika Foster. She was to investigate the death of a naked man (who was a politician Neville Lomas) was discovered naked laying on his front with his arms and legs bound by rope behind him and pulled together. The book keeps the reader enthralled until the final pages and I couldn't put it down.
Thanks to Netgalley, Raven Street Publishing, and the fabulous Robert Bryndza for this ARC..Erica Foster, how I missed you ! This was a thrilling, gripping, and everything I expect a Robert Bryndza book to be. Well done ! Read it in 1 sitting.. 5 stars.
My reviews can be found on Amazon, Goodreads, FB and local book clubs I recommend to..
I was very happy to hear my favourite detective is back! A new book by Robert Bryndza with Erika Foster as the heroine, her 8th book already! And I was not disappointed, this book is excellent as every one of his books. Thanknyou Netgalley for the opportunity to read it early!
RB books have the ability to make me think of the story even when I'm not reading it! The impact his storyline have is outstanding and keeps you on your toes throughout. Amazing writer and book!
When Detective Erika Foster discovers politician Neville Lomas dead in his own bed, naked and hog-tied, the higher-ups at the Met hastily close the case, citing natural causes. But two months later, when a prominent casting director and a star footballer are found murdered in the same manner, the Met can no longer ignore the chilling truth: there's a serial killer on the loose in London, driven by a desire for vengeance.
As Erika and her team delve deeper into the investigation, they uncover a shocking twist: CCTV footage reveals five female suspects, all identical. But as they race to identify these women, Erika finds herself constantly outmaneuvered by an elusive sex worker who holds secrets that could shake the foundations of the powerful men in London.
With the clock ticking until the killer strikes again, Erika must navigate through a web of evidence to answer crucial questions: What links the victims? Who else is involved in this scandal? And just how far are the higher-ups willing to go to protect their own?
I found "Lethal Vengeance" to be a gripping and tense thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat until the final page. The most difficult part will be waiting for the next Erika Foster mystery.
One of my favourite police detective series, and this latest instalment didn’t disappoint! Gripping from start to end.
Yet another brilliant instalment in the Erika Foster series. Fast paced gore at its best. Ruthless and feisty. Loved it.
Thank you Netgalley for my ARC copy.
Thank you @netgalley & @robertbryndza and Raven Street Publishing for my complimentary copy. My thoughts are my own.
I just finished reading LETHAL VENGEANCE, Robert Bryndza’s eighth installment in his Detective Erika Foster series, and as with the other books in this police procedural series, the mystery is fascinating and promises to draw the reader in immediately! I keep reading these books because the characters, including secondary characters, are well-developed, and the storylines are intriguing. The Erika Foster series only keeps getting better!
LETHAL VENGEANCE unfolds through Erica‘s third person perspective, as well as that of a character named Annabelle. There is also a brief flashback by one of the characters.
After 2 similar disturbing murders, DI Erica Foster realizes the crimes are connected. She is assigned to the cases and she and her team investigate, and even discover a third similar murder. I enjoyed the dialogue, witty at times, and the character dynamics. I don’t know how the male author manages to nail the perspective of a tough female detective with soft edges, but he does; and I truly enjoy this series!
You can definitely read this one as a stand-alone, but when you do, you will want to check out the other books in the series!
This is my FAVORITE series and this installment did not let me down! I love Erika Foster’s character so much!
This one starts off with Erika finding a politician hogtied, naked and dead. Since this is a series, I don’t want to say much. But you will love it!! I can not recommend this series enough!
Fabulous! Erica is one of my favourite fictional characters! Another fantastic installment. Now I have to wait an eternity for the next one!
Another excellent police procedural from the very talented Robert Bryndza. Erika Foster is back for another twisted tale of murder, mayhem, and erm bondage. And not the apparently good kind. No, the kind where well-known men end up dead and left in a rather humiliating way. Erika has the added issue of certain powers trying to hush things up (death by natural causes rarely screams being found hog-tied) and CCTV showing five suspects who appear to be identical models.
Anything can and probably will happen in an Erika Foster book, and this is especially apparent in Lethal Vengeance. Another great read from an excellent author.
