Fast paced, compulsive, addictive and the best Erika Foster book yet!
The team is faced with what seems like an impossible case where there are five perpetrators that all look identical. As well as that the victim is a high profile member of Parliament.
The case is taken out of Erika’s teams hand’s and cause of death is quickly ruled inconclusive. But when a famous footballer is found murdered in a style that is exactly the same state as the politician, Erika knows the two cases are connected and carried out by the same person.
As the body count rises the team battle around the clock to find a very clever serial killer who is always one step ahead.
This has to be my favourite Erika Foster novel so far. The writing is effortless and glides across the pages and the storyline flows keeping you turning the pages late into the night.
It is a definite must read for fans old and new. If like me you have read all of the other books in the series then you will already know you are in for a real treat, but if this is your first introduction to the series, this book works just as well as a standalone, and you will soon be hooked!

First of all, yay for a new Erika Foster book!! I am a long time fan of this series and it always exciting to have a new book to devour. This is book 8 in this series but it can easily be read as a stand alone. I have no doubt though, that you will want to go back and read the other 7 books as they are all amazing.

Lethal Vengeance..just brilliant. High profile murders across London that Erika and her team have linked to be the same killer. A smart killer who leaves no fingerprints, no CCTV. The more the team look, the darker these murders become. Why these people? Erika has to deal with the top brass trying to silence her, as well as government departments not wanting details to get out. Of course. Erika being who she is does what she wants, when she wants.

I couldn’t have loved this book more. It had me hooked and wanting more with every page. A truly engrossing book and I am ready for book 9 already. Published on February 8th, he this on your TBR now..

As a huge fan of this series, I was really excited to see where the story would go next and this was another fantastic addition and read.
Robert Bryndza's books are always ones that I can't put down and this was no different. It had me hooked until the very last page.
Erica is 100% my favourite fictional detective - she's so feisty and not afraid to go against the rules or grain.
Whether you've read the whole series or not, I can see so many people enjoying this.
Another thrilling story, so much so that I devoured in less than 48 hours.
Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

It is so good to be back with Erika and the team. Even though she always has the most heinous of crimes to solve, it does make for a thrilling experience.

The killings in this case are particularly horrific and turned my blood cold. Erika though has to fight to be part of it with the victims being high profile and there is a lot of pressure from above. In some ways Erika can be a bit of a loose cannon and doesn’t always follow the rules but there is no doubting she is good at what she does. It will have you questioning the powers of above and I wasn’t sure if this was one case that they might not get the right result.

The web that the author weaves is deliciously dark where you aren’t sure what to expect. Each chapter held a new surprise and I was glad that Erika has members of her team that she can trust as believe me, you won’t know who is trustworthy in this story! I loved how the investigation centres around five women who are very similar and how the team start to unravel clues. It made it even more exciting.

Lethal Vengeance is every bit as good, if not more so, than the other books in this series. The tangled web of lies and secrets held my attention throughout. The sense of danger is there on every page turned with plenty of shocks and surprises right up until the very last page! Cleverly plotted, with the pacing never dropping for one moment, makes this a brilliantly exhilarating read that will have you racing through the pages. Loved it!

Another great read! A massive Erika Foster fan and have loved following her story in all of the books, featuring her!

This didn’t disappoint and was literally right at the end before it all came together….

Looking forward to another one in this series

I would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy in exchange for an honest review. I have been a fan of Robert Bryndza and Erika Foster since the books first came out. Erika is always in top form doing whatever needs to be done to catch the criminal while still trying to have a personal life and relationship. This time we follow Erika and her team while they try to find out if multiple high profile murders are connected and the million dollar reason, why? An interesting read from start to finish, can't wait for the next one.

Lethal Vengeance is not my first book by this talented author but it is my first in the DI Erica Foster series. This is a brilliant suspenseful read, the characters are well described and a storyline that is page turning and exciting.
Not only does Erica and her team have a number of murders to solve she is also up against government interference and senior officers determined to undermine her.
I never felt I needed to of read the previous books but now looking forward to starting this series from the beginning. An absorbing page turning crime thriller that I devoured in a couple of days.
My thanks to net galley and publisher for the opportunity to review this book honestly.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my copy of this book.

I think most importantly-yay! We’ve been waiting for this instalment for what feels like forever. It did not disappoint and I for one am desperate for more!

Erika and team investigate the death of a famous footballer. They quickly link it to two other murders. Somebody wants to scare them off and does not want this case solved.

Loved it! Tiny details are teased out. I couldn’t put it down. I really like that Erika is not your typical heroine. She doesn’t play by the rules and she’s not good with relationships when involved in her work. However that’s why I like her so much. She’s very relatable.

Highly recommend both this book and the whole series.

Thank you NetGalley and Raven Street Publishing for the copy of Lethal Vengeance by Robery Bryndza. Another blockbuster Erika Foster book! This is one of my favorite series, and I love that while there are plenty of police work details, we also learn more about Erika and her life. As usual, the writing just drew me in, and it was hard to put the book down. The story was intriguing and well-paced and it’s always refreshing with this youth-obsessed society to have a main character who is middle-aged and has a vibrant, exciting life. Start this series if you haven’t yet, because it gets better and better!

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐️⭐️ (4/5 stars)

In Robert Bryndza's "Lethal Vengeance," the eighth book in the Erika Foster series, Detective Erika faces a complex case of serial murders targeting London's elite. Initially dismissed as natural, politician Neville Lomas's death unravels into a chilling pattern. As Erika investigates, CCTV footage reveals identical female suspects, and a secretive sex worker holds crucial information. Racing against time, Erika must uncover the connections between victims and expose the extent of the scandal while navigating the powerful forces protecting their own.

While the political aspects slightly detracted from my personal enjoyment, I couldn't deny the gripping nature of "Lethal Vengeance." Robert Bryndza's storytelling prowess remains evident, making it a compelling read that was difficult to set aside. Despite my nuanced preferences, the book deserves a solid 4-star rating. Special thanks to NetGalley for providing an advanced copy in exchange for this honest review, and I eagerly anticipate Bryndza's future releases.

So many books and so little time. That is they only explanation I can give as to why I have not read every book in this series.

I love thriller or crime series with strong female detectives and if they are stubborn and rebel because they are so determined to solve the cases they are working on, I love them even more. If there is one thing that cannot be said about Erika Foster, it's that she is not a fighter and when she is wrong, she does not have a problem apologising for the mistake she has made.

One thing is certain, Erika and her team are looking for one clever killer, one who is cool as a cucumber and very sharpwitted. 

The police, child well fare and other instances should protect victims and when they fail to do so, some people feel the need to seek justice for either themselves or loved ones. I can see where they are coming from and I do understand that this injustice can flip the switch in the wrong direction.

This is another great book by this author. I am sure you will love it as much as I did. 5 stars

Thank you

Erika is back is this book, she is a highly competent detective, not always bowing down to authority, which is trying to undermine/stop her efforts in a controversial, that gets more complicated as it links to other cases as the book goes on. smart, interesting and fairly fast paced with a smart killer as well and the opening for the next part of the story. Worth the read

Wow another super book in the Erika Foster detective series. Erika is investigating a series of murders with her team with a scary killer on the loose and her boss and the establishment bringing pressure to bear and hampering the case. As always a page turner that you just can’t put down and always guaranteed to get a reading out of a reading slump. Can’t wait for the next instalment.

This book had me gripped instantly and I didn't want to put it down. I would definitely read more by this author in the future.

Well well well…………… once again another amazing read in this series. Literally could not put this book down, every chapter had me reading the next when I promised myself I’d stop and go to bed! Have loved this series and Erika since book 1 and can’t wait for the next instalment. Although it forms part of a series these books can be read as stand-alone. If you are a fan of detective, police, who did it, didn’t see that coming then these are the books for you!

"Vengeance is in my heart, death in my hand, blood and revenge are hammering in my head." (William Shakespeare)

Have mercy! Robert Bryndza is runnin' with the big dogs in Lethal Vengeance. I have a finger on my pulse and it's pumpin' wildly. Especially that run-up to the end, folks. Whether this is your first go-round with Bryndza or you're a dedicated fan, you can just scoop this one up and hit the pages full steam.

Let's introduce you to DCI Erika Foster of the Metropolitan Police stationed at Lewisham. Born and raised in Slovakia, Erika worked her way through the system and became one of the most proficient officers in London. She's sacrificed plenty to get where she's at including the loss of her police officer husband, Mark, in a bad shootout several years ago. She no longer has anything to prove.......until now.

Bryndza places Erika in unexpected surroundings with her long-in-coming love interest, Igor. As soon as the champagne arrives, Erika reacts to the waves of nervousness engulfing her stomach about now. She steps outside the posh restaurant fearing what Igor will be asking her. She enters the building by the wrong door and comes upon a frantic maid in the hotel. The body of an older male is found on his bed hog-tied and obviously dead. Erika takes charge and this will be one of the most deadly (pardon the pun) cases of her career.

Death doesn't take a holiday. There will be more of those stilled hearts piling up in the background of this current case. The dead dude in the hotel just happens to be a well-known member of Parliament with a wonky reputation that precedes him. Erika will be visited by a shifty looking man with a birth mark under his eye wearing a grey suit.

I've read all the books in this series and this is the first time that I've seen a significant shift in Erika's professional behavior. Bryndza leans in on Erika's own feelings of inadequacies. She's recently turned fifty and feels the pressure presented by the new squad of detectives. The years of dogging cases relentlessly are taking a toll in her mind. And then mysterious perameters have been set up around her by the higher-ups in the force. Even her boss snaps at not liking Erika's "tone". Frustration will do that. But you don't sit Baby, and more importantly Erika, in a corner. Not ever......And bring in that hotel champagne. We be raisin' a toast to Bryndza about now. Bravo!

I received a copy of this book through NetGalley for an honest review. My thanks to Raven Street Publishing and to the talented Robert Bryndza for the opportunity.

Lethal Vengeance by Robert Bryndza is book 8 in the Detective Erika Foster police series and it is another phenomenal read. This storyline has Annabelle as the female protagonist, she was a young girl brought up in the care system, who as an adult goes on to kill and murder people who had hurt her and her two friends, as adults and young children.
There is also a second theme running throughout the story about men who do not want Annabelle caught and who are part of a dark force running throughout the police investigation. It is at the end of the story that you can again glimpse these dark forces at work again.
A fascinating story with sad and desperate victims being abused in a care system designed to protect them and then moves into murder of powerful people who should have known better.
Highly recommended

I enjoyed this book. I will definitely go back and read some others and maybe start from the beginning. I really liked the characters in this book so I’d love to go back and see where they started from. If you like police procedural you’ll love this book! I’m sure I’ll enjoy the others as well! Great writing in this book. And such a genius plan to get revenge on those who seem to always get away with it! The high ups the celebrities the politicians and political people who think they can’t be touched! Well Annabelle begs to differ. thank you Netgalley and Raven street publishing for allowing me access to this eARC!

A real page turner that I couldn't put down until I had finished. The author got right into the story and kept up the pace until I was hooked. Thank you to netgalley and the publishers for giving me a copy of the novel.
