Her eyes are wide open. Her lips parted as if to speak. Her dead body frozen in the ice...She is not the only one.

When a young boy discovers the body of a woman beneath a thick sheet of ice in a South London park, Detective Erika Foster is called in to lead the murder investigation.

The victim, a beautiful young socialite, appeared to have the perfect life. Yet when Erika begins to dig deeper, she starts to connect the dots between the murder and the killings of three prostitutes, all found strangled, hands bound, and dumped in water around London.

What dark secrets is the girl in the ice hiding?

As Erika inches closer to uncovering the truth, the killer is closing in on Erika.

The last investigation Erika led went badly wrong...resulting in the death of her husband. With her career hanging by a thread, Erika must now battle her own personal demons as well as a killer more deadly than any she's faced before. But will she get to him before he strikes again?

A pause-resisting thriller packed with suspense. If you like Angela Marsons, Rachel Abbott, and Karin Slaughter, discover Rob Bryndza's new series today.

Not bad, not great, not up for more in the series.

Overall not a bad story, but I don’t think I will continue with the series.

I didn’t like the back story enough and I felt there weren’t enough (any) seeds of interest planted to motivate me to see what happens next in Erika’s life.

so so story, didn't't care for narrator

story was ok, nothing I'd recommend to a friend. didn't make sense narrator was giving thick eastern euro accent to character who said she was born in UK. can't put my finger on it, but found narrator's voice irritating

Acceptable. Not thrilling.

The characters devolve into cliché from time to time and the mystery is a little formulaic, but the writing is good and the narration is better than other works performed by Jan Cramer.

It's not really a story that demands a lot of focus. I found that I stopped paying attention quite a few times and never really missed anything.

I don't know if I would recommend this book over other mysteries, but if you're on the fence then give it a shot.

Much the same as his other series

Decent police procedural, but it feels exactly like his other (Kate Marshall) series. Both MCs are white lady cops broken by criminal violence and trying to get back into living and working. Of the three books I’ve read from the two series, the murders all involve abused female victims where strange, powerful families figure prominently. And he’s got this thing about water, lakes, rain, etc. One book is as good as another. These will remain as only sale purchases for me.

Hope it's a series

Smart police procedural, really good puzzle with interesting characters. Would definitely read another. A credit well-spent!

Love it

A very intriguing story. Couldn't put it down. A little slow in the beginning, however, once you pass chapter three you would be able to stop reading or listening to the story.

Great

great all the way to the end. exciting mystery, took a while to finish but was able to follow the mystery to the end.

an ok book

i struggled to feel a connection with the erika the main charachter ..she was annoying at times and useless in others...the plot seemd so cliche and gave you the feeling youve read it /watched it before

Just another female Brit DCI novel

I found the story to be just another damaged female DCI struggling through red tape and higher powers to solve her case.

Fun but predictable

I enjoyed the book because I enjoy good detective stories but the relationships between characters was predictable and slightly over done. Characters and plots similar to those from the TV series The Closer
