📌 Add to GoodReadsHow do you find a killer who has destroyed all the evidence?
Detective Erika Foster is on a late-night walk near her new house in Blackheath when she stumbles upon the brutal murder of Vicky Clarke, a true-crime podcaster.
Erika is assigned to the case and discovers that Vicky had been working on a new podcast episode about a sexual predator who preys on young female students around South London, staking out his victims in their halls of residence before breaking in at the dead of night. When Erika discovers that Vicky's notes and sound recordings were stolen from her flat at the time of her murder, it leads her to believe that Vicky was close to unmasking the attacker, and she was killed to guarantee her silence.
The case takes on a disturbing twist when the body of a young Bulgarian student doctor is discovered in the same building, and this makes Erika question everything she thought she knew about Vicky. With very little evidence, the clock is ticking to find the killer before he strikes again.

📌 Disclaimer: I received an e-arc from the publisher for review
Four years after the release of book six in the Erika Foster series, Fatal Witness, is finally hear.
Unfortunately, this is my least favourite book in the series. If it wasn't for the characters I know and love -Erika, Peterson, Moss, and the gang- I would have rated this 3.5 stars. The mystery wasn't the best, the whole whodunit aspect didn't have me on the edge of my seat trying to guess like it usually does. Don't get me wrong, as with all the books in this series it was quick to get through and the atmosphere was great. However, I think if you're going into this having not read the other books it might be a let down. Although I enjoyed it overall as a Erika Foster fan, I didn't find it as compelling as the previous books.
Still, I look forward to the next installment.
