My Review:
Evil Impulse is another fantastic addition to the DI Geraldine Ward series which in my opinion keeps getting better and better.
Firstly I always enjoy seeing how this author manages to breath new life into this long running series, so I enjoyed reading about the subtle changes to Geraldine’s life. It was good to see her in a relationship and very intriguing to see her a bit emotional as she deals with a case that quickly becomes personal to her. She’s obviously deeply affected by the case which made me wonder if she should have been taken off it rather than proceed, especially as her connection to the case makes it difficult for her to think properly.
I’m a big fan of a good police procedurals so I enjoyed following Geraldine as she tries to solve the case. I liked that the case seemed very realistic and was done in real time without any huge leaps or coincidences. It made me feel like I was there with the detectives trying to solve the case with them which I always love. I did guess who the murderer was but I still found it fun to continue reading to check if I was right or not.
Overall it found this a fascinating, gripping read which I sailed through in a couple of days. The many twists kept me on my toes and second guessing myself whether I was right or not. It’s a little dark in places, as you’d expect from a book featuring gangs, but I felt this wasn’t overdone and helped add to the atmosphere in the book. I’m now very excited to see where this series goes next.
Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to No Exit Press for my copy of this book.
