   Keine Keine aktuelle Diskussion zu diesem Buch.  b00kdarling87 | Jan 7, 2024 |   2 Stars It is time to call it quits on this series. To begin with, the plots are becoming repetitive with one serial killer after another. The fact that the killer's identity is revealed early on takes much of the tension and suspense out of the police procedural elements. In addition, the protagonist, who started out as a strong, intelligent and resilient woman coping with tremendous loss, has devolved into an inconsiderate, selfish and annoying mess. The audiobook narrator does not help here as her intonation for Erika makes her come across as whiny and unpleasant. It is unfortunate that a series with such potential has deteriorated to the extent that I just do not care about any of the characters enough to continue. (  ) Lauren2013 | May 5, 2023 | As usual, the crimes are pretty brutal, but there's always humor or other interactions to break it up a bit. Lot's of suspense throughout. Also prominent is the use of social media, particularly how it can be used for evil. If you are the type who likes to share everything in your life with everyone else, you should pay attention to this part. It's not always a good idea to let others know too much about your life. This is not the first book that has explored how criminals can use this type of information to get close to their victims. The audiobooks are well-done, narrated by a woman named Jan Cramer. (  ) MartyFried | Oct 9, 2022 | One of the reasons that I like this series so much is that I enjoy reading about Erika Foster, who is still struggling to move on after her husband was killed in the line of duty. She's practically married to her work and, despite her cautious steps towards a new relationship is Mark still present in her life, despite him being dead for so many years now. I do like to see her taking steps towards a relationship, she has not many friends and, despite being a good cop does she deserve a happy home life as well. Robert Bryndza is such a great writer and he really manages to write compelling stories that just makes you think one more chapter and suddenly you are halfway through the book. And, Last Breath is not an exception. I'm not always that fond of following the killers POV, when you know who he is from the start, name, and everything, but now and then it works. And, this time it did. And, let me tell you that is one sicko. A really creepy dude that appalled me. But, then again, his family, the milieu he has grown up in seemed not really have made it easier for him. Still, something must be seriously wrong in his head. Luckily Erika manages to persuade Sparks to let her take on the case. I was a bit surprised over the fact that it did seem like Erika and Sparks were finally burying the hatchet. Although without giving away too much, did Bryndza manage to really surprise me here. You just have to read and find out for yourself. A great book, just as the previous and a must read if you like this series! I want to thank the publisher for providing me with a free copy through NetGalley for an honest review!

A young woman found tortured and dead in a dumpster was reported missing after going out to meet a man she met on the internet. Erika Foster, no longer part of the Murder Investigation Team is close by when the call goes out to attend the site and can't help but get involved. After she discovers a similar case, she eventually gets to lead a team looking for the murderer and it becomes a race against time to stop him abducting more young girls. I love Erika Foster as a character and this series is developing so nicely! I have read every single installment and the short chapters and masterful words makes this an awesome read can't wait for more. Bravo! (
