Isto sim é um policial bem escrito! Sempre em movimento, sem momentos mortos. Queremos sempre saber mais e mais.
Adorei a inspetora chefe Erika Foster e todos os membros da polícia envolvidos.
O enredo é bom. Não considero que tenha pilot twists, mas também não precisa. A escrita é fácil e prende o leitor. Quero ler mais.

It really bothered me that the back cover describes the victim as having her eyes open, and the front cover is a girl with her eye closed. It bothered me the whole book. There were also several editing errors in the copy I have. The story itself was very fun to read though. I enjoyed the book.

I had plans today. I was going to do some Stuff...and thangs. But then I started this book.
We had hotdogs for dinner and they were dang lucky to get them. I did not want to put this sucker down.
A young, rich social type girl is found under the ice in the water in South London's less fortunate section. She has been brutally murdered and Daddy is having a fit wanting some one to pay. They call in Detective Erika Foster to lead the investigation, but every-time she starts to find out something her hands get smacked. The girl who died, Andrea may not have been the darling that the family wants her portrayed as.
Erica has a past also, she led a team that ended with her husband being killed so she is being watched from all angles. The thing is..Erica has nothing. No home to go home too, no one missing her. So she will not stop even when she is pulled from the case.
She discovers that Andrea is not the only woman that was killed in the same fashion and why has no one connected the dots before?
Oh yeah, that snotty family that keeps calling in favors from the big wigs. I wanted to punch them in the face. The author does a really good job of pulling the reader back and forth and feeling Erica's frustration with the politics that seem to take charge in any kind of investigation. Her determination to get to the truth also makes this character stand out. She gives no shits to what anyone thinks.
This was a really decent thriller and it's the authors first book, I'm excited to see where he takes Erica's character.

Christine read this book and brought it to my attention. I swore to myself to not add another book to my TBR but I'm so glad I did. She was so very right. Thanks Christine.
