I am late to the Robert Bryndza train, and this is my first read in the Erika Foster series

So yes, I did miss some of the nuances of the characters, however for me this was not such a big deal, and there is enough background information given for me to catch up pretty quickly.

Dark, gritty writing gives us a look at the darker, grittier scenes of a murder detective. No flowery. glossing over things for the reader.

Red herrings put my off the scent of who the killer was, and I enjoyed reading right to the end.

I will need to go back and read the previous Erika Foster books, and look forward to seeing where the series goes in the future.
