Erika Foster is on a new case in Last Breath by Robert Bryndza

Last Breath
by 
Robert Bryndza

He's your perfect date. You're his next victim.

When the tortured body of a young woman is found in a dumpster, her eyes swollen shut and her clothes soaked with blood, Detective Ericka Foster is one of the first at the crime scene. The trouble is, this time, it's not her case. 

While she fights to secure her place on the investigation team, Erika can't help but get involved and quickly finds a link to the unsolved murder of a woman four months earlier. Dumped in a similar location, both women have identical wounds-a fatal incision to their femoral artery.

Stalking his victims online, the killer is preying on pretty women using a fake identity. How will Erika catch a killer who doesn't seem to exist?

Then another girl is abducted while waiting for a date. Erika and her team must get to her before she becomes another dead victim, and, comes face to face with a terrifyingly sadistic individual.

OMG, Robert Bryndza, keeps getting better and better. I will admit I have read his first, second, and now the fourth in the series and I have the third on my Kindle so I will quickly catch up before his fifth one will come out. 

I instantly loved the lead DCI Erika Foster in The Girl In The Ice, she instantly got under my skin.  In this, Erika has been riding a desk, off of the murder investigation team, she has the itch to get back into the murder investigative side of the law. 

When a call comes into her friend,  DI James Peterson's cell, she begs to go with him to take a look see, after all, she is nearby and due to the weather can help assist til the DSI gets there.

If crime procedurals are your thing, this won't be one you want to miss.  I highly encourage you to read The Girl in the Ice, Night Stalker, Dark Water, before reading Last Breath even though they can stand on their own merits as well.

 Erika can't get the memory of the girl in the trash bins out of her mind. She starts investigating on her own into cases that might be similar.  Once she has found one she consults with her friend,  Isaac, one of the medical examiners. He concludes that both girls died by the same hand.

 As Erika and the team keep chasing down leads feel the anticipation building, you will quickly flip through the pages.  

 Fast paced, you won't want to put the book down until you have reached the end.  I look forward to the next installment in the Erika Foster series. 

Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for my ARC for an honest review.

this is me....

When I was growing up, in a small town in Kansas, Saturdays were the days I looked forward to.   My mom would take me with her to the beauty parlor, I would venture across the street to the library. As you would walk into the two story old brick building, the smell of history would waft up as the door would swoosh open and closed.  A faint smell of mold or mildew, mixed in with the other mysterious smells were like a comfortable pair of shoes I would slip into. The librarian, Miss Jane Blades, always welcomed each and every patron with a "Good Morning" and when she seen it was me, she would just smile.  When I was the younger girl, 2nd or 3rd grade, she would have books picked out for me based on the level she knew I could read.  As I got older she had projects for me to do, in case I got bored, or too loud, but mainly it was to make me feel special.  The two story building, made of brick, was like my castle.  Tucked in the wooden shelves, we...

  They say every cloud has a silver lining. . . When Freya Miller is struck by tragedy, losing her husband and her home within a short time, she is burdened with many worries. The main one being where she and her five-year old daughter, Skye, are going to live. A chance meeting with the charismatic Dr. Marsden changes all that.

Within a couple of weeks, Freya and Skye are moving into Adder House and meeting the other welcoming residents. They very quickly feel part of the family. But just when Freya truly believes all her problems are history, a series of strange, unexplained occurrences begin.
