It's nearly Christmas and Erika is called to a dead body. There is something strange about the scene, it is very clean and the dead woman is not wearing shoes. The teams enquiries lead to an address in Chiswick where Erika is horrified to bump into her husband's killer. She arrests him and is shocked when she is told to let him go as he is not the man she thinks he is. She is then put on compulsory annual leave until her medical. While she is on leave she takes matters into her own hands and travels to various parts of the country to investigate. People she trusted suddenly aren't as trustworthy as she thought, but she is determined to see this through now she is so close to solving the murders. A good solid read.

This is book 9 in the Erika Foster series.And one of my favourite authors. A body of a woman was found in a flat.Erika and her team are on the case.years ago she was on a job with her husband and the team they were killed they knew the culprit but then there was no evidence to prove it..she felt the guilt for she was the lead.she meets the suspect again but he says its not him by changing his identity how can she prove its him as no one believes her..is there a connection with the womans body?Will she discover the answers.highly recommend this crime read.fantastic writing from Robert..Very engaging read..looking forward to reading the next instalment..5 stars..

The fourth book by Robert Bryndza I have reviewed and the second of the Erika Foster books I have read. Such is my enjoyment of Roberts books I have purchased a further seven which await me finding time to read them. 'Chasing Shadows' is an excellent book that brings together a few loose ends from earlier in the series and had this reader on the edge of his seat unable to put the book down, needless to say read in a day. It would be wrong of me to divulge much of the plot as I feel that would ruin it for other readers, but I would urge the avid readers of Roberts books to purchase and read at the earliest available time. Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the chance to ARC this book.

Thanks to Robert and NetGalley for allowing me to read Chasing Shadows before the publication date. Having read a number of Robert’s previous books, I was pleased to receive the arc of the latest in the Erika Foster series and it does not disappoint. The tension is there from the first page. DCI Erika Foster is living with PTSD from the drugs raid in which a number of her colleagues, including her husband, were murdered. The pressure which she experiences in this book are understandable as she doubts (is made to doubt) herself. With so many people who have their own interests at heart, who can she trust? Three timelines are interwoven, giving the reader insight into the characters and their relationships, before the truth is revealed.
