This last book of the series seemed.... disconnected?

So I have read all 7 of the Erika Foster books back to back in the past 2 weeks & for some reason this last one seemed a bit different to me. Almost as if it were an after thought or less detailed in plot & storyline than the prior 6 books. Fatal Witness lacked the same twists & turns & details the others had & all I can say is that is was just straight forward & simple. Definitely not what I've come to expect from the author & this series. I felt less connected to this book that I had with his first few. The Girl in the Ice was so captivating & exciting, it really compelled me to go on this journey devouring the Erika Foster series, only to be left feeling somewhat "meh," with Fatal Witness.
Regardless, it's a decent book & a decent storyline, although I'll always favor the first few books in this series over the last few. For what it's worth....

Love this latest Erika Foster installment!

Bryndza delivered yet another banger with Fatal Witness. It's paced a little more slowly than others in this series, but I think it fits the mood of the events happening in the characters' personal lives. Jan Cramer's performance is, of course, as terrific as always. I'm going to go right back in and listen to it again!

good

good story line interesting and the story line is interesting. good story line interesting. good story line interesting

Less

Why is Erica so stupid to confront the bad guy unarmed. Bryndza always gets you to the peak of the story and then makes Erica do nothing about her revelation. It's always fate that makes everything sorted right, not her wit or wizdom.

Not up to the author's usual standard

I have read all the books in the Erika Foster series because I really enjoyed them. However, the seventh in the series is a complete disappointment. It starts out promising enough but then veers of into a confusing cast of characters. When the killer is finally revealed you're reaction is WHO? This is a very minor character that hardly appears at all. There is no backstory for the killer as in all the other books, Unfortunately the author seems to be a little tired of the series and decided that his faithful readers would not notice the lazy and convoluted story line. Mr. Bryndza owed us and Erika more than this book. He really should not have bothered.

Love this series, love Jan Cramer

Narration was great as always, love Jan Cramer! Not the best one in the series, but I continue to look forward to more of Erika Foster.

Excellent Mystery!!!

The last two books have been excellent mysteries!!! Mr Bryndza took a detour from mysteries into thrillers in Books #4 & #5, and not particularly good thrillers at that. I almost dropped the Series. Last two books have won me back!

Annoying narration

I have read Erika Foster books and liked them so thinking an audio version would be fun, I got this one. Nope. The narrator turns Erika into an almost simpering idiot cop, too much cooing and emotional drivel. I can’t finish it. The story was interesting enough but jeez….

This series gets better and better

A police procedural that slides along the edge of 'preposterous' without ever toppling over into it.
I enjoy these characters so much, and I enjoy the various ways London itself is made an active character.
Looking forward to seeing how Igor evolves in future adventures.

Love Erica Foster

The Erica Foster series is always great! The characters are relatable and the story keeps you guessing! Great narrator too!
