The case had all the challenges and clues I like in a police procedural and the recurring characters are already intriguing me. Yes, Erika’s got some personal challenges but her investigative chops are superior. This story surpassed my expectations and I’m struggling to not binge through the series. I’ve waited a long time for one of my groups to select this series as a group read and one finally came through. I’m in for the audio version going forward.
It took a minute to erase Kim from my brain and once I did, she owned Erika and her teammates. Jan Cramer is one of my favorite narrators, mostly from her DI Kim Stone series performances, and she proves that she’s no one series wonder. No matter as I was utterly hooked by the mystery. I did figure out the murderer but only pretty close to the reveal.
The case was exceptionally thorny and I went back and forth with several theories. She made great personal progress, thanks to the loyalty and trust of her new team and others that care about her. I admired her, even when I found some of her behavior reckless and risky, as she stood up to her spineless leadership who was afraid of offending the victim’s influential family. But members of her new team recognized that she’s the leader to follow as the case gets complicated and dangerous.Įrika Foster is a talented but broken detective, still finding her way and footing as she deals with the grief from losing her husband and team. While her instincts and skills are excellent, Erika’s political lens, or lack thereof, ruffles lots of feathers internally and externally. Erika is coming off of leave following an investigation into her last case where her whole team was killed, including her husband. After the young woman found beneath the ice in a South London park is identified as the daughter of a prominent politician, Chief Superintendent Marsh calls in Detective Erika Foster to lead the investigation as she’s had more experience with high profile murders of this type.
