Robert Bryndza is such a talented author that when of his books comes up for reading and reviewing, it is an absolute no-brainer to put my hand up for it! It is no reflection on his talents that I have been slow in reading this particular book - a bit going on in my private life - however, I am catching up!

I love the character of Erika Foster so much, and it is typical of her that her job trumps her private life, quite often.

She gets dragged into a very perplexing case and as she slowly figures out what is happening the twists and turns keep on coming and the tension ratchets up.

5 stars from me.

Thank you to NetGalley and Raven Street Publishing.

Firstly a politicians hogtied body is found, then a few months later the death of a famous footballer with similarly suspicious circumstances means that Detective Erika Foster is on the hunt for a serial killer. A great read as always, lots of suspense to keep us guessing and I just love Detective Erika Foster.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for an advanced digital copy in exchange for an honest review.

Another excellent novel by Robert Bryndza in the series featuring Detective Erika Foster. She was to investigate the death of a naked man (who was a politician Neville Lomas) was discovered naked laying on his front with his arms and legs bound by rope behind him and pulled together. The book keeps the reader enthralled until the final pages and I couldn't put it down.

When Detective Erika Foster discovers politician Neville Lomas dead in his own bed, naked and hog-tied, the higher-ups at the Met hastily close the case, citing natural causes. But two months later, when a prominent casting director and a star footballer are found murdered in the same manner, the Met can no longer ignore the chilling truth: there's a serial killer on the loose in London, driven by a desire for vengeance.

As Erika and her team delve deeper into the investigation, they uncover a shocking twist: CCTV footage reveals five female suspects, all identical. But as they race to identify these women, Erika finds herself constantly outmaneuvered by an elusive sex worker who holds secrets that could shake the foundations of the powerful men in London.

With the clock ticking until the killer strikes again, Erika must navigate through a web of evidence to answer crucial questions: What links the victims? Who else is involved in this scandal? And just how far are the higher-ups willing to go to protect their own?

I found "Lethal Vengeance" to be a gripping and tense thriller that kept me on the edge of my seat until the final page. The most difficult part will be waiting for the next Erika Foster mystery.

Yet another brilliant instalment in the Erika Foster series. Fast paced gore at its best. Ruthless and feisty. Loved it.
Thank you Netgalley for my ARC copy.

Thank you @netgalley & @robertbryndza and Raven Street Publishing for my complimentary copy. My thoughts are my own.

I just finished reading LETHAL VENGEANCE, Robert Bryndza’s eighth installment in his Detective Erika Foster series, and as with the other books in this police procedural series, the mystery is fascinating and promises to draw the reader in immediately! I keep reading these books because the characters, including secondary characters, are well-developed, and the storylines are intriguing. The Erika Foster series only keeps getting better!

LETHAL VENGEANCE unfolds through Erica‘s third person perspective, as well as that of a character named Annabelle. There is also a brief flashback by one of the characters.

After 2 similar disturbing murders, DI Erica Foster realizes the crimes are connected. She is assigned to the cases and she and her team investigate, and even discover a third similar murder. I enjoyed the dialogue, witty at times, and the character dynamics. I don’t know how the male author manages to nail the perspective of a tough female detective with soft edges, but he does; and I truly enjoy this series!

You can definitely read this one as a stand-alone, but when you do, you will want to check out the other books in the series!

This is my FAVORITE series and this installment did not let me down! I love Erika Foster’s character so much!
This one starts off with Erika finding a politician hogtied, naked and dead. Since this is a series, I don’t want to say much. But you will love it!! I can not recommend this series enough!

Fabulous! Erica is one of my favourite fictional characters! Another fantastic installment. Now I have to wait an eternity for the next one!

Another excellent police procedural from the very talented Robert Bryndza. Erika Foster is back for another twisted tale of murder, mayhem, and erm bondage. And not the apparently good kind. No, the kind where well-known men end up dead and left in a rather humiliating way. Erika has the added issue of certain powers trying to hush things up (death by natural causes rarely screams being found hog-tied) and CCTV showing five suspects who appear to be identical models.

Anything can and probably will happen in an Erika Foster book, and this is especially apparent in Lethal Vengeance. Another great read from an excellent author.

would like to thank netgalley and the publisher for letting me read this gripping novel

its high tense and a thriller of a ride..... there is so much going on in this book its diffiicult to sort out

when a murder victim turns up but looking like its a sex game gone wrong erika and her team have their work cut out for them.... it doesnt help that a previous murder one that was taken off erika rears its ugly head again and that erika herself is warned off

with it becoming more difficult to do her job and nobody she can really trust apart from a few members of her team, she cant even rely on the ones above her its down to police work at its best

but with evidence being left at the scene 3 polaroid's with the name annabella on the back of them how can erika link them up....

high tense with political motives start to unravel.... wow what a ride

4.5 stars 🤩

This is my second Detective Erika Foster book and she’s fast becoming one of my favourite female detective characters.

She’s a strong female protagonist absolutely committed to her role of uncovering truth and justice. She doesn’t shy away from authority or pushing boundaries where both her work and personal life are involved. Add in a serial killer on the loose on London’s streets and were have a winner.

This is such a solid, compelling police procedural. I cannot wait to read more from him! Highly recommended.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for my e-arc.

In "Lethal Vengeance Detective" (Erika Foster #8) by Robert Bryndza we are thrown back into the violent crime solving world of Erika Foster - but this time its gets personnel when a friend is accused of mislabeling a death. But to get to the bottom of this one her team will have to think out of the box and keep their cool. Another great read.

I received an advanced copy of this book and this is my unsolicited opinion.

Lethal Vengeance is the most recent book in the DI Erika Foster series by @robertbryndza 💙 I absolutely love the character of Erika and this series. In this most recent book, Erika and her team are investigating the murder of a famous footballer. The case is strange and seems to link to another high profile death in London. Are Erika and her team on the hunt for a serial killer?!

I highly recommend this book and series, especially if you love crime fiction with a tough female detective!

I typically read this author’s books as soon as they are published but I did not care for the subject matter of this mystery. I was traveling while I was reading the book on my tablet and I was nervous that others could read the contents.
