Dark Water by Robert BryndzaMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I read most of Dark Water on EasyJet flights to and from Prague. What an enjoyable way to pass the time! The third in the Erika Foster series is another terrific read from Robert Bryndza. As cold cases go this is right up there with the best. How on earth do you start to investigate an event that happened twenty-six years ago? When the skeleton of a child is found wrapped and weighted down in a disused quarry emerged in 23 metres of water? The identity of which is soon discovered, using modern forensics.
Foster struggles with evidence (or lack of) to try and get from then to now. And matters are exacerbated when her sister turns up unexpectedly from Slovakia, complete with kids and reluctant to explain why.
Twists and turns, red herrings, evidence previously withheld, frustration, determination - all in the fold of DCI Erika Foster. It's a breathless page-turner and another superb police procedural.
