Review:
Remember the name Erika Foster. You're going to be hearing a lot from her. She's the new DCI in the crime fiction world and she is a determined, broken and incredibly likeable protagonist. Remember the name Robert Bryndza. He's the author of one of the best debut thrillers I have read in a very long time. With writing and storytelling like this, he's going to be a dangerous name in crime fiction. The setting of London isn't new and neither is the leading character with issues. However, there is something refreshing in Bryndza's writing that makes this novel fresh and exciting. 'The Girl in the Ice' is a gripping page-turner that will grab you by the throat from the very first page and will not release you until you reach the end. Just remember to pause to take a breath between pages. The second novel in the Erika Foster novels, The Night Stalker, is available from 2nd June. I defy anyone who reads 'The Girl in the Ice' not to immediately read Bryndza's second straight away. Based on the first we are all in for a treat.
