The Night Stalker
The Night Stalker: A chilling serial killer thriller | Robert Bryndza
If the Night Stalker is watching, you're already dead In the dead of a swelteringly hot summer's night, Detective Erika Foster is called to a murder scene. The victim, a doctor, is found suffocated in bed. His wrists are bound and his eyes bulging through a clear plastic bag tied tight over his head. A few days later, another victim is found dead, in exactly the same circumstances. As Erika and her team start digging deeper, they discover a calculated serial killer stalking their victims before choosing the right moment to strike. The victims are all single men, with very private lives. Why are their pasts shrouded in secrecy? And what links them to the killer? As a heat wave descends upon London, Erika will do everything to stop the Night Stalker before the body count rises, even if it means risking her job. But the victims might not be the only ones being watched Erika's own life could be on the line. The global bestselling author of The Girl in the Ice is back with a heart-racing, electrifying thriller. If you love Angela Marsons, Rachel Abbott and Peter James, you'll be hooked on Robert Bryndza. Watch out for more from DCI Erika Foster. She's fearless. Respected. Unstoppable. Detective Erika Foster will catch a killer, whatever it takes. 1. THE GIRL IN THE ICE 2.

Love, love, love me some Erika Foster. Just when you think Robert Bryndza couldn‘t possibly top himself, he does! Erika is one of my favorite female leads of all time. #bookworm #erikafoster #nightstalker #robertbryndza #thesuspenseisthrillingme

I enjoyed it, but I didn't find it as exciting as the first one, partially because the killer is revealed halfway through and you're left wondering how the killer will be caught. It made it kind of anticlimactic, but it is still a very worthy and entertaining read.

Wow, a thriller that I actually enjoyed! I couldn't put this down. Erika Foster, a detective for the Metro Police in a part of London, is a great character who never seemed to act in a way that made me roll my eyes (which happens so often in other thrillers). Very smart, well-written, and well-plotted. 4.5/5⭐

Read for the #Booked2019 category of Female Detective. @Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft @BarbaraTheBibliophage

callielafleur Also fulfills the Female Detective square for last year's #murderinochallenge #ssdgm 6y
Cinfhen This cover reminds me of another cover with a female detective. I wonder if it‘s the same author??? I think it is!! 6y

Vanaf het eerste hoofdstuk is de spanning voelbaar en wordt ook de eerste moord gepleegd. Vervolgens loopt het verhaal als een trein. Mede door de korte hoofdstukken is het zeer goed leesbaar en eer je het in de gaten hebt ben je al halverwege het boek.

She looked at a framed photo sitting by the mirror. A handsome, dark-haired man... — her late husband Mark. His death was something she felt she would never get over, & this, coupled with the guilt that she was responsible for it, put a skewer through her heart many times each day....The image of him was frozen in her memories, in pictures. As the years passed, she would morph into an old lady, yet Mark would always be young & good-looking.

The second DCI Foster book is another good read. It is well-paced with twists and turns in the investigation. Fosters remains as brutal and abrasive as always. This is a good detective series; I will definitely be reading the next instalment Dark Waters. Good to see there are another 4 books to get stuck into

🔑Follows a serial killer who strangles men.
🔑Very predictable & severely lacking in suspense.
🔑Hated the killer‘s POV, which severely detracted from intrigue/intensity.
🔑Uses same professional conflicts in Erika‘s work environment from 1st book, which felt lazy & unimaginative.
🔑Provides interesting commentary on sexism in criminal investigations, esp. involving female killers.
🔑Homophobic dialogue by some characters.
🔑Boring.
🔑2.75/5.

Here's the other Night Stalker book I have read this year, it just happens to fit the #rocktober theme for today, as it very quickly (too quickly in my opinion) became abundantly clear who the killer was and there were definitely #nosurprises. Spilt the book to a large extent for me.

Bluebird Noooo! I was looking forward to reading this one! I missed the group read but hoped to read it later this month. It's no fun when a mystery is predictable. 😒 7y
Cinfhen That's the worse @Bluebird @Andrew65 I agree, it's no fun if there are #nosurprises 7y
Andrew65 @Bluebird Overall it was not a bad book, most people gave it 3.5 or 4 stars, but I just feel it took some of the shine off the book. I still plan to continue with the series but hope the killer is not so evident next time. The average was 3.67. 7y
Bluebird 👍thanks. I will let you know what I think. Perhaps I won't solve the mystery as quickly as you. 🤞 7y
Andrew65 @Bluebird I look forward to hearing what you think. 7y

Finished the 2nd book in the Detective Erika Foster Series. This was a very enjoyable and engaging read, but do think Erika needs to find a new way to do her job without being so antagonistic to those above her.There are a few surprises in this one compared to conventional serial killer books, although I think it's clear fairly early on who the killer is - I do feel this could have been kept back longer. Otherwise I do recommend the series.

Just started The Night Stalker by Robert Bryndza, and have to say I am already hooked. This is the second book in the Detective Erika Foster Series set in London. In the start of this one a doctor has turned up dead! Why we do not know, but I don't think it is the only dead body we are going to encounter in this book.

This is the second book in the Erika Foster series and I really enjoyed it! Both are great but this installment dealt with a unique serial killer and continued to develop Erika as a character. I listened to the audiobook version and the narrator did a great job of bringing life to the various players. I'm excited to read/listen to the next installment! 🌟🌟🌟🌟

So good! British detectives, and so well done! Loooooved the villain in this. It was terrific and unique in that you knew from the get go who the killer was, and the story unraveled through the backstory and motives. Great characters all around. Points for wide diversity too!

Don't like how the author makes Erika so wimpy. I keep wanting her to pump herself up. But I am still reading it and hope she gets stronger

This second book was an unexpected excellent mystery. Book 1 was on the weaker side but the author seems to have found his procedural groove. Satisfying serial killer mystery, strong female DCI Erika Foster main character and a touch of creepiness. Just what I needed in this 95 degree weather.

Excellent second outing for DCI Erika Foster as she searches for a serial killer taking out men by drugging and suffocating them in their own homes. Think I'll go and make sure all my doors and windows are locked. Again. 😧
