Overall, definitely another winner from Robert Bryndza, I'd recommend this series to any fan of a good police procedural. The family scenes are terrific. On one hand, we have the Collins family – the very Catholic mother, the estranged husband, the sister, brother, and their significant others. On the other hand, we have Erika’s sister and her children, who suddenly appear at Erika’s door one evening. Talk about chaos! Bryndza does a great job capturing the family dynamic of both groups.
Dark Waters opens with an unsettling and spine chilling prologue, and once I read it I was hooked, it’s one of those books you can’t bear to put down, as each chapter ends you just “have to read one more” and before you know it it’s the middle of the night! This is the third book in the Detective Erika Foster series and although you could read it as a standalone I would urge you to read the series, just because it’s such a fantastic crime series. Erika Foster is one of my favourite crime detectives she’s direct to the point of being brutal but she’s also determined, fearless and incredibly good at her job, we also learn more about Erika and her family in this book which add more depth to her character. Erica faces her most complex case yet when seven year old Jessica’s body is found in a quarry twenty six years after her disappearance, with no witnesses and very little to go on Erika finds herself caught up in an investigation that will test her policing skills to the limits, its a case steeped in lies, secrets and heartbreak.

I always have fun to try to solve a good mystery. I tried and tried to figure this one out. I was so wrong in my first guess and then guessed again and was so wrong that time. I ended up guessing it before the end but felt all the clues were there right before it was mentioned. Cecilia's teacher is troubled by Cecilia's "imaginary friend" Natasha and Dahlia catches Cecilia talking to Natasha as well. In the bathroom, Cecilia passes out as dark water gushes from the toilets and sinks. As Dahlia is busy meeting her lawyer, Jeff Platzer, Kyle takes their daughter to his home. WKRC (January 11, 2019). "Shooting for film starring Mark Ruffalo, Anne Hathaway begins in Hamilton Monday". Local12.com. Archived from the original on April 2, 2020 . Retrieved January 11, 2019. Dark Water feels like a classic novel because of its strength. Its lasting impact. Not only is Lowry's mastery of prose sky-high, but her awareness of pace was enthralling. It was a delight and an adventure to read. This is a book I'd like to keep on my shelf, and return to when I'm in need of a reminder of the sheer force and power that good writing can muster.
Beneath the water the body sank rapidly. She would lie still and undisturbed for many years but above her on dry land, the nightmare was just beginning. I received a copy of Dark Water by Robert Bryndza through NetGalley for an honest review. My thanks to Bookouture and to Robert Bryndza for the opportunity.Venetia Porter, formerly Senior Curator for Islamic and Modern Middle Eastern art,the British Museum
