Born in Lowestoft on the east coast of England, Robert Bryndza studied at Aberystwyth University and the Guildford School of Acting, and worked as an actor for several years. Initially, he worked as an actor until he took a play he’d written to the Edinburgh Festival, which shifted his focus to writing full-time.
His first published work was fiction of a very different kind: he self-published the Coco Pinchard romantic comedy series starting in 2012, building a readership before changing to crime. The switch paid off immediately. The Girl in the Ice, published in 2016, his crime debut, introduced DCI Erika Foster and became an international bestseller within months of publication. He followed it with five more Erika Foster novels in quick succession before launching the Kate Marshall private investigator series in 2019 with Nine Elms, which hit number one on Amazon US.
In 2023 he published Fear the Silence, his first standalone thriller, set partly on a Croatian island. His latest series, Detective Jamie Day, is yet another crime procedural set in London.
Robert Bryndza lives in Slovakia with his husband Ján.

Mr Bryndza –
Years ago I was strolling through Barnes and Noble and I bought a copy of A Girl In the Ice. I have been a dedicated fan ever since. You are
truly The Master. I just finished Devil’s Way and can’t wait to start The Lost Victim.
Thank you for so many hours of reading enjoyment.
I really don’t think I can forgive you for the ending of Lethal Vengeance! Not unless you have the next book written and publication is imminent! Shame on you!
Can’t wait I read your two mystery. Series ,can’t wait for more
Been reading all of Robert’s books since the Coco Pinchard years & just love them each & every one! Keep on publishing please & I’ll keep on buying!
Hi Robert,
Just found your book Girl in the Ice. I couldn’t put it down. I thought it was great and will recommend to my friends. Looking forward to reading the next book in the series. Had to laugh at Linda, the cat lover. I have seven myself.
Best to you and your husband.

When will Devils Way with character Kate Marshall available in Australia I have 1st and 2nd and love her Character as much as Erica Foster series
Love your books. Just finished Darkness Falls in one reading. Cant wait for your next book
Hello Robert,
I completed the Kate Marshall Books first and then went on to read the Erika Foster series. Both series held my attention from the first book to the latest (Shadow Sands). The character of Kate appeared settled, contented and there is a future for her. Perhaps it’s her son in the book that adds to her ability to be sociable-someone you would want to meet. Erika is awesome and I wonder how you will find a match for her. Deadly Secrets, great case with none stop action, personal feelings of Moss, Peterson and Erika and the case concludes quickly with surprising twists and turns. However, the story ends leaving the reader (me) “up in the air” , there is no personal win for Erika, where does she go from here? Her character will eventually burn out!
I read your blogs and updates with your writings… very aggressive. Yes, you need some “time-out”.
I can wait until the next book on both series, you most definitely are worth the wait.
