I'm becoming very invested in the characters, not only Erika, but Peterson and Moss. Yes, I had a pretty good idea who the bad guys would turn out to be. But there were still plenty of twists and turns that i never saw coming. Cecilia's teacher is troubled by Cecilia's "imaginary friend" Natasha and Dahlia catches Cecilia talking to Natasha as well. In the bathroom, Cecilia passes out as dark water gushes from the toilets and sinks. As Dahlia is busy meeting her lawyer, Jeff Platzer, Kyle takes their daughter to his home.

The ending was WOW, like a car that had been travelling down one lane, to then without any indication, speed into the next lane. It was like literary whiplash, which is always the good kind. Throw in a f***ed up type of love triangle (which there was) you've got fantastic warped read. I couldn't have asked for more! 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. Once again folks, Robert Bryndza has created another zinger with his surly DCI Erika Foster series! I swear each book continues to top the previous one, and I can see myself being invested in these characters for many books to come. I’m not quite sure how he does it, but Rob somehow creates characters who are realistic, flawed, and unlikable in the most likable way. Erika is not someone I could ever see myself connecting with in real life; she is battered, dark, and rude, yet in these books I simply cannot get enough of her. While each mystery is well done in the series, the real test on how compulsively readable these novels are is the complex web of relationships weaved between the multitude of characters. And speaking of characters…While searching a quarry for a hidden drug stash, Detective Erika Foster's team stumble across the skeleton of a young child. The remains are identified as Jessica Collins, 7 years of age when she disappeared 26 years ago. II, Barry Wurst. "THE HAWAII FILM CRITICS SOCIETY 2019 LIST – Hawaii Film Critics Society".

The storyline is that of a dark and twisted nature, where torture, suicide, murder and brutal revenge are the main culprits of the darkness! There's an incident that involves an eye that I'm still not willing to discuss, but that one sentence made me squirm... a lot! This is a fantastic point to make, that Ariana's writing can transport you into the storyline, like you're a nosey neighbour watching from a distance. This is the power of words. It's excellent.

Questions swirl around this novel and lend its plot a snap of suspense. Part of the pleasure of "Dark Water" comes from its elevated language. With a poet's flair for the evocative detail . . . her sentences are often florid without feeling overdone, and regularly demand to be savored. At the beginning of this story, Erika is in a new district and no longer working murder investigations but instead is working major organized crimes. To put a major drug dealer behind bars, the local quarry is dredged to recover drugs hidden in the depths. The drugs are found, but so is the wrapped skeleton of a child. Erika cannot get the sight of those small bones out of her mind and fights to get the case assigned to her and to have Peterson and Moss moved to be on her team once again. The bones are 26 years old and the case has already destroyed one DCI’s career, but Erika and her crew refuse to quit. Carver devotes himself to Borden's cure, sure it depends on drawing out the truth about that terrible voyage. But though he raises up monsters, they will not rest. So Carver must return once more to the edge of the sea and confront the man - and the myth - that lie in dark water. In 1998, Robert Bilott is a corporate defense lawyer from Cincinnati, Ohio working for the law firm Taft Stettinius & Hollister.

What transpires here out is the rapid fire pinball game that will eventually take DCI Foster into some shady situations. Nothing is what it appears to be in this one. Foster manages to get herself assigned to resurrect this unsolved mystery from 1990. The previous detectives ran into deadends. And Foster seems to be dangling on the edge of despair as well. But Foster dogs a case like no other. Although her private life is at a standstill, it provides her the impetus to forge ahead relentlessly. 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.

Retrieved November 5, 2019.I absolutely love DCI Erika Foster as she has mellowed ever so slightly in DARK WATER but is still that extremely likeable, interesting, entertaining, strong character and is just as cutting and determined to get results. The original detective on the case was Amanda Baker. Time hasn't been kind to her as she has always felt guilty about not being able to solve the case and bring Jessica home to her family.
