About this deal

The secret ingredient of such a mystery book is finely seasoned crime. This book found an unlikely fan in me. I have been acquainted with the Anderson and Costello detective duo, assisted by a brilliant supporting cast. I usually do not enjoy grisly murder inquiries, but Dark Water was so well written, it seemed like Ramsay, the fine author of the book, had only me in mind when penning it. This book speaks to you. I have DNFed a lot Dark Water feels like a classic novel because of its strength. Its lasting impact. Not only is Lowry's mastery of prose sky-high, but her awareness of pace was enthralling. It was a delight and an adventure to read. This is a book I'd like to keep on my shelf, and return to when I'm in need of a reminder of the sheer force and power that good writing can muster. This is the third in this gritty series featuring the driven DCI Erika Foster. Erika is no longer with the Murder Investigation Team and is now based at Bromley Police Station with the Projects Team that is intent on countering serious organised crime. Following a lead from the wife of a suspect, the team are searching for a large stash of drugs in a quarry in an effort to bring down a well known drug dealer, Jason Taylor. The drugs are found but there is a more macabre discovery of the remains of a young 7 year old girl that went missing, Jessica Collins.

[10] In November 2018, Ruffalo was officially set to star in the film. [11] OMG I promised myself after what others may have considered to be a rather over enthusiastic review for The Night Stalker, I would tone my review for Dark Water down, but HOLY MOLY Robert Bryndza has only gone and done it again and wrote another fabulous book to add to the DI Erika Forster series. So I’m sorry if I get carried away with my review (yet again), but I was honestly convinced the authors last book The Night Stalker would be my favourite, but after reading Dark Waters I’m now convinced this is my favourite in the series by far. This series is evolving into one of the best crime series I’ve read over the last few years each book seems to get darker, and more sinister.

Mario Correa, Matthew Michael Carnahan and Nathaniel Rich Based on the New York Times Magazine article "The Lawyer who Became DuPont's Worst Nightmare by Nathaniel Rich Elizabeth Lowry's gothic masterpiece, like Golden Hill and The Essex Serpent, gives the historical novel a new, beating heart. In Carver and Borden, she realizes the dichotomy of savagery and reason, of man and monster, of life and sacrifice, in a tale rich with adventure and glorious imagination. When DCI Erika Foster and her team search an abandoned quarry for stashed narcotics, they hit the mother lode. That’s not all they dredge up from the depths. The second find is much more terrible. What they discover are the skeletal remains of a young child, which turn out to be those of a seven-year-old girl who disappeared twenty-six years earlier.This is an excellent book with good characters and a well crafted plot that is paced to perfection. The family scenes are terrific. On one hand, we have the Collins family – the very Catholic mother, the estranged husband, the sister, brother, and their significant others. On the other hand, we have Erika’s sister and her children, who suddenly appear at Erika’s door one evening. Talk about chaos! Bryndza does a great job capturing the family dynamic of both groups. But solipsistic though Carver is, he shows us worlds. Lowry is astute on domesticity and its discontents. Along with the melodrama there is a lot in Dark Water about knitting and the mopping of floors, and it is all the more compelling for it. Of all the dreadful acts of eating described, the one that is most potently charged is the sharing, not of raw human flesh, but of a nice piece of roast lamb. I had no idea, until it was revealed, just who had abducted and killed Jessica Collins. My jaw dropped. I really didn't expect that. And yet, it was just perfect. Every ship faces terror from the deep. What happens on the Orbis binds Carver and Borden together forever. When Carver recovers, and takes up a role at Boston's Asylum for the Insane, he will meet Borden again - broken, starving, overwhelmed by the madness that has shadowed him ever since he sailed on the Providence.
