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.
My Review
It’s official, I am a Robert
Bryndza groupie! I have spent the last few months gushing and raving to anyone
who will listen about The Girl in the Ice by Robert (and if you haven’t read
it, why the hell not??!!). It is one of my books of the year, and I just could
not put it down.
I was almost counting down the days
until publication of The Night Stalker, and a return to the world of DCI Erika
Foster. And let me tell you…it does not disappoint! As soon as I got my hands
on a copy I retreated from the real world, only rejoining after turning the last
page, and even then I didn’t want to emerge…I wanted to read more.
Robert has a wonderful way of
writing that reels the reader in, gets their heart racing, the adrenaline
pumping, and compels you to carry on reading. As with The Girl in the Ice we
get to know who the killer is early on, but it doesn’t detract from the tension
and thrill of the storyline. The killer is deeply disturbed, and as the book
progresses becomes more erratic, which definitely drew me in. As a reader not
only do you get to see the investigation from the police point of view, but we
get a chance to develop some great insight into the mind of the killer, which
adds another dark dimension.
I am loving Erika Foster. She is a
ballsy woman, who has no qualms in standing up for herself, and running close
to the wire when leading an investigation. I love that she is a strong
character, and a great leading lady. I have found it really easy to build up a
picture of her in my mind which helps me bring a book to life.
I love gritty crimes, and I think
that is one of the things that attracts me to this series. Whilst not overly
gruesome, the writing is so descriptive that I feel like I can sense the
sounds, smells, noises, and ambience of each scene. I feel like I am more than
a reader, I am part of the team trying to track down this killer and stop them.
There is certainly nothing airy fairy about Robert’s approach to writing. He
pulls no punches, and has created truly compelling characters, and such great
description of the scenery that it feels 3D.
I am a massive fan of Karin
Slaughter, and am an avid reader of her Grant County series. For me the Erika
Foster series is on a par. The Night Stalker is well developed, excellently
written, and full of drama, suspense, and thrills. It is truly a page turner,
and from the moment I opened the front cover I was hooked.
If you’re looking for a fast paced,
heart racing, adrenaline book that packs a punch and leaves you desperate for
more, then The Night Stalker could be just what you are looking for!
P.S. Robert is a great guy. Do
follow him on social media and let him know if you love his work. Yes, I am
fangirling but I want everyone to tell him how great this series is.
P.P.S Robert….please don’t leave
us hanging too long for our next Erika Foster fix. I have withdrawal already!
Thank you to Bookouture who kindly
