Review summary
Deadly Secrets is the sixth book in the Detective Erika Foster series by British author, Robert Bryndza. A matter of days after her last murder case is resolved, Erika Foster is on her way to a (somewhat dreaded) Christmas lunch when traffic jams at a murder scene. Twenty-two-year-old burlesque dancer and carer, Marissa Lewis has had her throat savagely slashed on her front doorstep. Erika immediately steps in when the on-duty senior detective is delayed at another scene. As her team makes enquiries, a conflicting picture of the beautiful victim emerges. Her mother, her friend, her lover, her neighbour, her employer, her fellow dancers: all paint different images of her and it proves difficult to know the real person. CCTV shows them only that someone in a long, dark coat entered and later left the front garden. The team are pleased to make a breakthrough when it seems that Marissa was earlier the victim of a gas-masked figure who has been attacking lone victims in the area. But the case stalls as more than one suspect tries to commit suicide, although the second of those definitely offers up a laugh-out-loud dose of irony. DI Moss proves herself very resourceful when it matters. Bryndza gives the reader another fast-paced page-turner. There are plenty of red herrings, although the astute reader will not be fooled by the first exciting climax. Nonetheless, the real murderer and motive are guaranteed to be a surprise. Once again, Erika has to hand over her case to a colleague, but not through her abrasive manner with the top brass. Readers should be aware that there are major spoilers for the previous Erika Foster novel, Cold Blood, if they have not yet read that one. Excellent British crime fiction.
