About This Audiobook
When the frozen body of a young socialite is found in a South London park, Detective Erika Foster is assigned a case that seems straightforward until she connects the victim to three previous murders, all women found strangled and bound. The investigation takes Foster into the victim's privileged world and its hidden dangers, while the killer begins to show awareness that the investigation is closing in. Robert Bryndza's debut novel introduces a detective defined by her refusal to let a case rest, even when that quality has cost her everything.
Jan Cramer's narration gives Foster the combination of dogged determination and underlying fragility that makes the character compelling. Her performance handles the procedural investigation, the relationship dynamics among the investigative team, and the increasingly personal stakes of the case with equal assurance. Cramer's voice gives the London setting its proper urban weight, making the city as much a presence as any of the characters.
