La donna di ghiaccio La vittima perfetta La ragazza nell’acqua
Ai primi posti delle classifiche I thriller di Robert Bryndza hanno conquistato il cuore di milioni di lettori grazie alla sua protagonista: la detective Erika Foster. Quando un ragazzo scopre il cadavere di una donna sotto una spessa lastra di ghiaccio in un parco di Londra, la detective Erika Foster viene subito incaricata dell’indagine sull’omicidio. La vittima, giovane, ricca e molto conosciuta negli ambienti della Londra bene, sembrava condurre una vita perfetta. Nel bel mezzo di un’afosa notte estiva, un’ombra si muove oscura, animata da un odio feroce e da un’irrefrenabile sete di sangue. Per la detective Erika Foster è un nuovo caso. La vittima è un dottore ed è stato soffocato nel suo letto. Ha i polsi legati e gli occhi gonfi, un sacchetto di plastica trasparente stretto intorno alla testa. La detective Erika Foster ha appena ricevuto una soffiata che le indica il luogo in cui è nascosta la prova per sventare un grosso traffico di droga. Seppure sospettosa, ordina la perquisizione di una cava in disuso alla periferia di Londra. Quello che non si aspetta è che, scavando nel fango, oltre alla droga venga ritrovato un piccolo scheletro…

This book series was absolutely amazing! I picked up the first book in this series and I could not put it down. I finished the first book in a day, and then the other books in the series within three weeks. Robert Bryndza did an amazing job creating a thrilling and interesting crime series centered around the Erika Foster. The characters felt like real people and I was honestly invested in their lives as this series progressed. It has been awhile since I have found a book series, let alone a single book, that I enjoyed reading as much as this series. I would highly recommend this book series to anyone who likes true crime novels. I cannot wait for the next book in the series to come out so I can learn what happens next in the life of Erika Foster.
Great crime thriller with lots of twists and turns. Love the characters . Would definitely recommend it to friends. Can’t wait to read the next one . Brilliant author.
Wasn't so sure on the first book, Girl in the Ice but then I had just finished reading all of Karin Slaughter books. But I persevered & I am now on book 5!! They have got better as the series has moved on, number 4 is my favourite by far. Give it a go if you like a good detective series. Now let me see what's my next series, can anyone recommend?? Just finished number 5!! These books just get better, I love a good series, Erikas team is the best for getting serial killers. Please Robert carry on with your thrillers. Started 6 this morning and so far so good. Thank You.
