Summary

Beneath the water the body sank rapidly. She would lie still and undisturbed for many years, but above her on dry land, the nightmare was just beginning.

When Detective Erika Foster receives a tip-off that key evidence for a major narcotics case was stashed in a disused quarry on the outskirts of London, she orders for it to be searched. From the thick sludge the drugs are recovered, but so is the skeleton of a young child. The remains are quickly identified as seven-year-old Jessica Collins. The missing girl who made headline news 26 years ago.

As Erika tries to piece together new evidence with the old, she must dig deeper and find out more about the fractured Collins family and the original detective, Amanda Baker - a woman plagued by her failure to find Jessica. Erika soon realizes this is going to be one of the most complex and demanding cases she has ever taken on.

Is the suspect someone close to home? Someone is keeping secrets. Someone who doesn't want this case solved. And they'll do anything to stop Erika from finding the truth.

Great story line....God awful narrator !

Would you try another book written by Robert Bryndza or narrated by Jan Cramer?

I have listened to all three Erika Foster series , purely for the
' who dun it' thrill, and to see an improvement. Never again will i listen to a book narrated by Jan Cramer !!
It was like she had no interest in the books and no interest in captivating the audience.
i have heard washing instructions being read out with more gusto!

What did you like best about this story?

spoilt for me by the narrator.

Would you be willing to try another one of Jan Cramer’s performances?

No Never

Any additional comments?

sorry Robert , i enjoyed the story but was marred by the narrators flippant attitude.

Something's fishy

The story was gripping but there was something a bit off with the narration, at times the tone was a bit off. We were told people were in tears but their voices were jolly! It detracted from the tension..

Stunning

I have read all three thrillers by Robert Brindza, plus the excellent Miss wrong and Mr. Right, and all his books are original, well thought out and well written. They are very exciting too. Dark Water had me guessing right up the the last 45 minutes of the book. No one could guess what really happened to Jessica Collins. The story line is stunningly original and convoluted, however, whether it is believable is another matter. It is a story and reality is often suspended with a book like this. The unfolding of the case leaves one to wonder if people would really do something like this. However I thoroughly enjoyed this book, at least DCI Erika Foster didn't come to any harm in this book. I am eagerly looking forward to Robert Brindza's next book. If you are not sure whether to buy this book then I urge you to give it a try, it's good. Suspense all the way. One thing though, you should read the first and second Erika Foster books first.

Not as good as the first two

Didn't find it as gripping as the first two and the narrator seemed to feel the same.
