I came across this excellent British bestselling author quite by accident. I was looking for a good British thriller in the veins of M.J. Arlidge since I was already hooked on his Helen Grace series. After reading The Girl In The Ice, I was hooked. Now I’m an avid follower of this talented thriller author.

Robert Bryndza was born in Lowestoft, in the United Kingdom, and he lived for nearly ten years in Brockley in South London. he attended Aberystwyth University, and the Guildford School of Acting, before pursuing an acting career for a number of years. He also lived in the US and Canada before settling into his permanent address in Slovakia with his Slovak husband Ján.

They visited Slovakia for holidays in 2010 and loved it so much that they made it their permanent country of residence.

He initially trained to become an actor, but in his mid-twenties, he got the writing bug, swiftly changed gears, and started writing novels after attending the Edinburgh Festival with a play he had previously written.

The first Robert Bryndza books were part of a romantic comedy series, Coco Pinchard, which he self-published. It took him three years of trying to publish his first novel before he learned that self-publishing books was a thing. His first novel was self-published in 2012.

In 2016 he changed genres and started writing crime thriller novels, with the first book titled The Girl In The Ice, which became part of the detective Erika Foster series. It was nominated for the Goodreads Choice Award for Mystery & Thriller in 2016, the Grand prix des lectrices de Elle in France in 2018. It also won two reader-voted awards, including The Thrillzone Awards for best debut thriller in The Netherlands in 2018, and The Dead Good Papercut Award for best page turner at the Harrogate Crime Festival in 2016.for the Goodreads Choice Award for Mystery & Thriller (2016), the Grand prix des lectrices de Elle in France (2018), and it won two reader voted awards, The Thrillzone Awards for best debut thriller in The Netherlands (2018) and The Dead Good Papercut Award for best page turner at the Harrogate Crime Festival (2016).

The latest Robert Bryndza book in the series is called Fatal Witness, published by Bookouture, an excellent British publisher who also published Angela Marson’s book and several other good crime thriller authors.

In an interview, author Robert Bryndza mentioned that the idea for The Girl in the Ice came to him several years ago while listening to a song by Kate Bush. He suddenly had a flash of standing on a frozen lake and seeing a girl’s face under the ice. Quite a powerful image for a thriller novel.

DCI Detective Erika Foster is first introduced to the readers in The Girl in the Ice. Soon we realize that she has a lot of baggage to deal with, a lot of history which doesn’t allow her to function at 100%.

In a tragic event in the past (before the book story began), her husband is killed and Erika Foster is left alone and in total despair. It took her seven months to finally get back to work and immerse herself in her first new case, which involves Andrea Douglas-Brown’s kidnapping and then murder.

When the young woman is found under the ice in a South London park, detective Erika Foster, the MET detective, is called to investigate. She knows that this case could be the one to bring her fully back from the dead and into the land of the living.

In Deadly Secrets, published early 2018, Erika Foster was still shaken by the happenings in Cold Blood, where her personal life got mixed up with work in a bad way. She is still not quite ok but takes on the next case that is as harrowing as possible.

A mother wakes to find her daughter’s blood-soaked body frozen to the road. Somebody killed the young girl and left her in front of her own house frozen to the ground.

While Detective Erika Foster is working the new case, something from her past threatens to come to the surface at the most inopportune moment. If she doesn’t stay focus on the case she might not only use the killer but her own life as well.

In Fatal Witness, Detective Erika Foster stumbled upon the brutal murder of Vicky Clarke, a true-crime podcaster while walking near her home one evening. While working the case, she realized that the victim was uncovering the deeds of a sexual predator, and she had to die to make sure the attacker would not be unmasked.

In 2019, a new Robert Bryndza book was out in a new series featuring Kate Marshall, a woman with a dark, secret past. A rising star in the  London Metropolitan police force, Kate captured the famous Nine Elms serial killer some 16 years ago. However, her entire career and life went into shambles when things went south. Now she works as a lecturer at a small coastal English university when her past comes crushing back and she has to face her fears, demons, and an evil monster when a copycat killer is on the loose and threatens to destroy her entire life. Right now, the series includes four books.

Robert Bryndza is living with his husband Jan and two dogs and is working on his next novel.
