BOOK REVIEW: Nine Elms by Robert Bryndza
What a great start to a series this was. Kate Marshall was a detective
investigating a serial murderer who is targeting young
women. Accidently she discovers her boss is the perpetrator and
almost doesn’t survive the encounter. Now many years later she has moved on
as a university professor when a new string of murders mimicking the
original murders start to occur. Kate is dragged back into the investigation
bringing along her assistant. Little does she know from the start that this
will blossom into her becoming a private investigator.
I really liked this story. I was immediately drawn in and it held my
attention. Kate is an imperfect heroine which I love, and the story evolved
in a satisfying way. I think this is going to be a great series and can’t
wait to see what Kate and her assistant Tristan get up to
next.

Synopsis
Kate Marshall was a promising young police detective when she caught the notorious Nine Elms serial killer. But her greatest victory suddenly turned into a nightmare. Traumatized, betrayed, and publicly vilified for the shocking circumstances surrounding the cannibal murder case, Kate could only watch as her career ended in scandal.
Fifteen years after those catastrophic events, Kate is still haunted by the unquiet ghosts of her troubled past. Now a lecturer at a small coastal English university, she finally has a chance to face them. A copycat killer has taken up the Nine Elms mantle, continuing the ghastly work of his idol.
Enlisting her brilliant research assistant, Tristan Harper, Kate draws on her prodigious and long-neglected skills as an investigator to catch a new monster. Success promises redemption, but there’s much more on the line: Kate was the original killer’s intended fifth victim…and his successor means to finish the job.
