WOW, this was intense and had me at the edge of the seat. Loved the story and would be looking forward to reading more of his writing.

When Kate Marshall a private investigator finds herself in hospital after nearly drowning in the sea on her daily morning swim she strikes up a conversation with Jean. When Jean learns of Kate’s occupation, she tells the story of her 3 year old grandson Charlie and how he’s been missing for 11 years after disappearing during a camping trip. Kate is fascinated by the mystery and agrees to take the case and find out what happened that night. Did Charlie drown, or was he abducted? As Kate and her business partner Tristan unearth more information, they link the murder of social worker Anna to the case, but how was Anna involved? And what happened to Charlie all those years ago?

This was a really great read! I was gripped by the story instantly, and I just wanted to find out what happened to Charlie! There were plenty of twists along the way which I really liked! I hadn’t read any of the other books in the series, but I’ll definitely be adding them to my list!

This book is the fourth book in the Kate Marshall series. I was not aware that there was a series. The title and cover grabbed my attention. Although it was the fourth in the series, I did not feel lost and it was easily read as a stand alone. With that being said, I will check out the others in the series!
This book is about Kate Marshall a private detective. She has a partner named Tristan. Kate ends up in the hospital after a swimming mishap. She is in a room with Jean Julings. Jean shares the story of her grandson, Charlie, who disappeared 11 years ago when he was 3 years old on a camping trip with Jean and his mom and dad. There is so much more to unpack in this book, Jean's ex and the love of her life, a social worker who was brutally murdered named Anna, a writing club, crazy neighbors and farms! I loved the way that Kate and Tristan went about solving this cold case!
This book had me hooked from the beginning and I truly enjoved it. There were lots of twists and turns throughout the book. The characters were well written. I loved Kate and Tristan both! The book was very descriptive of the scenery in the area and it sounds like a beautiful place to visit! If vou like reading about a good cold case, you will like this book.
I am very thankful that I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and Raven Street Publishing in exchange for an honest review.

This is the first book I’ve read in this series and it works fine as a standalone. It’s an ok read. It felt like a bit of a slog to get through and then the ending was very rushed. I worked out the twist pretty early on and there was nothing extra. I also couldn’t really work out Kate and Tristans relationship.

It has been eleven years since a little boy named Charlie disappeared while camping with family. It has haunted his grandmother throughout the time even though she had gone to the courts to have him declared dead. When she and Kate end up in the same location she asked for an investigation into what happened to the tiny boy.
This is my first Kate Marshall, Private Investigator, mystery. I read it in two days so I guess you can see that it definitely kept my interest. (I did figure out the answer to the main question but it took me awhile to put the pieces together.)
I like the partnership of Kate and her fellow investigator, Tristan. The story takes some twists and turns. They meet and question some interesting and sometimes, odd, characters. It's an overall good read.
I received an advanced reader's copy from the publisher through NetGalley. This is my own unsolicited opinion of the book.
Note: Language

Oh my goodness this book was so good and twisty, I could picture it all. The tent the dark and the frantic search for the little boy. I read this very quickly as it grabbed me right away. Highly recommend this one. My thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for giving me the opportunity to read this book in return for an honest review.

Kate Marshall is a private investigator who has been hospitalized after a swimming accident. Her room mate is and older women who is still looking for her missing grandson. Her grandson Charlie, went missing when he was three, eleven years ago, while she and charlie and charlies mom and dad were camping. Everyone's thoughts were that charlie fell into the rushing river.
Originally the investigation was not well looked into. Kate and her partner Tristan look into the cold case is the hopes of getting answers for Jean.

Another great read in this series, I love following the investigations of Kate and Tristan and their relationships with the police to uncover the truth around the disappearance of a young boy.

Although part of a series this can be enjoyed as a standalone but reading the previous ones in order probably makes sense.

Thoroughly enjoyed the book, I think the series is just getting better as it goes along and I look forward to more.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publishing house and the author for the opportunity to read a compliemtary copy of this book in return fro a review based upon my honest opinion.

This is the fourth book in the Kate Marshall series, this could easily be read as a stnad-alone book but I recommend reading the whole series as it is so darn good. I loved this author's last series and wasn't sure I would love the new one, but I do! I love Kate and Tristan. I love the way their relationship is portrayed, they are more than co-workers, they are friends, and dare I say it, family. They are there for one another when needed and it is refreshing to read a series where the main characters aren't falling for one another.

Kate loves sea swimming, she swims in the sea by her home every day, all year round, it makes her feel alive; but one day, she is swept away by a riptide and saved, barely hanging on by surfers. She wakes up in hospital and gets talking to her room-mate who tells her the story of her missing grandson, gone 11 years. Kate and Tristan are instantly taken with the story and agree to look into the disappearance for her. As they delve into this young boy's dissappearance, everyone seems to think he drowned in the river, they find lots of secrets and uncover a murder.

This was a great book, good pace and lots of twists. This author always writes an enjoyable book and this was no exception. Cannot wait to see where Tristan and Kate's story goes in the future.

I have read another novel by this author, Girl in Ice, and loved it. This novel has a private detective team investigating the cold case of a child gone missing from eleven years ago.
A family goes camping. Along for the trip are a child, his mother and father and grandma. I the middle of the night he just disappears.
Is the family guilty somehow? Did he drown in the raging river? Or did the social worker on their case do something? Or is there a more mysterious answer?
Very good read. Satisfying conclusion.
Highly recommend this one.
Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for this ARC

I seriously can´t get enough of Robert Bryndza!

Kate Marshall and her trusty partner Tristan are back, looking into the disappearance of a 3yr old who went missing 13 years ago. Fast paced, great characters, great plot, you will simply love this book! No spoilers with this one, just read it!

My thanks to NetGalley and Raven Street Publishing for giving me the opportunity to read an advanced copy in return for an honest opinion.

I have always enjoyed Robert Bryndza’s books. His writing is always so brilliant! The latest Kate Marshall installment begins with a child going missing in the middle of the night during a camping trip. On the other hand, Kate has a terrifying, near death accident and for a minute there, I thought Bryndza had gone the George R. R. Martin way and decided to just kill the protagonist. Luckily, Kate survived and took on the case to find Charlie, a 3-year-old who went missing 11 years ago.

Missing child cases are always so hard to read. I have heard of cases where kids just vanish, never to be seen again. Families are left broken, unable to move on and grappling with the hopelessness of not knowing. There is a case in Kenya about a woman who has been searching for her 4-year-old twin sons since 2012. I can’t begin to imagine the emotional turmoil and anguish. When Charlie disappeared in the night, Jean’s family was destroyed and remained so for over a decade.

This was quite a hard case to crack. There were so many dead ends and many people had moved on from the case with the passage of time. Kate and her partner, Tristan, were however determined to find answers for Charlie’s grandmother, Jean. They were afraid that the answers would not be what Jean was looking for but nonetheless, they wanted to offer her closure.

With twists and turns and a couple of red herrings, this narrative had me at the edge of my seat until the case was solved. This was yet another heart-racing, captivating, unpredictable Kate Marshall investigation and I cannot wait for the next installment already. What a stunner!

I had not read the previous books in this series, but that did not preclude my enjoyment of this one. ( I might go back and look for the previous ones,) Kate and her assistant are flawed characters that we can identify with. Kate is humiliated that she allowed herself to get in a dangerous situation in the sea that required someone else to rescue her. Taking on a case that was so old that the possibility of solving it was slim gave her a chance to redeem herself. A good read. I received and arc and am under no pressure for a good review.

Devil's Way is the latest book in the Kate Marshall series, with Kate and her sidekick Tristan now running their own private detective agency. In this story, they've been hired by the grandmother of a boy who went missing from a family camping trip eleven years ago, and who was subsequently declared dead by the family without ever being found.

I enjoyed Devil's Way, although found it to be a slightly gentler read than others in the series so far. I think this was because it was focused on uncovering events that had already happened, rather than having real-time tension. There are plot twists, but it didn't have quite the same 'race against time' feeling that other books in the series have had.

Kate and Tristan and the cast of associated characters continue to develop nicely across the series, and I do feel invested in these characters and will continue reading the books as they come out. I can't surely be the only reader out there wanting Tristan to meet someone and possibly to re-evaluate his feelings for Ade!

Another great book in the Kate Marshall series. An easy read where I did not now what the ending would be until it was happening.
I like that both the main characters are vulnerable and human. They have flaws and the people around them are flawed as well. They both work though.
This story was highly enjoyable and it was hard for me to put down.

WoW...........and breathe. Devil's Way by Robert Bryndza Narrated by: Jan Cramer is the fourth book in the excellent Kate Marshall, series and this book was excellent from start to finish with lots of twists and turns from start to finish. and I've loved every page of this series.

Robert is an author that never disappoints. Every book I have read or listened to, by him has been a 5 star book.

I highly recommend all of his books especially Kate Marshall series.

The Narrated by: Jan Cramer was excellent and I preferred her to the last one....She just fitted in well with the series.

Another book in the Kate Marshall series but the first one I have read, however the lack of a back story did not detract from my enjoyment of this novel.
Kate and her assistant Tristan are private detectives running an agency in South West England. Kate, who enjoys a swim in the sea every morning, is nearly killed by a riptide in the fist few pages of the story. This leads her to her next case when she wakes up in hospital next to Jean who recounts the tale of how her three year old grandson Charlie went missing eleven years ago. Jean is now convinced Charlie is still alive and hires Kate to look into the case.
Full of twists Devil’s Way is a cracking read and I’m sure Kate and Tristan will be around for many years.

Another brilliant Kate Marshall investigation !
Charlie aged 3 vanished on a camping trip with his family about 13 years ago and although presumed dead -his body has never been found. His grandmother meets Kate while she is recovering in hospital after an accident and asks her to try and find out what happened to him all those years ago.
5 stars from me !!

Thankyou NetGalley for an ARC in return for an honest review

Yet again the author brings something fresh to the table. Kate finds herself, by coincidence, talking to someone who lost her grandson. Deciding to take on the case she discovers that things aren’t as simple as she first assumed.

Great addition to the series.
