My latest book review - Impunity by Ray Clark (The Book Folks)

 

Ray Clark’s hugely enjoyable series of crime novels featuring Yorkshire detective DI Stewart Gardener go from strength to strength, combining inventive, thought-provoking plots and a cast of believable characters led by the detective inspector himself.

The recently-published Impunity is an impressive addition to the canon, telling how the straight-talking Gardener finds himself dealing with an attacker with a gruesome modus operandis, which is revealed when a young woman is found on the streets of a quiet village after having had her kidneys removed.

The investigation that follows is portrayed with Ray Clark’s trademark attention to detail; each character, each scene, each revelation is meticulously constructed in a way which draws in the reader and holds the attention, not least through the use of dialogue that is as authentic as it comes and ensures that the characters come over as real people who step out from the pages of the book.

And, of course, there’s always plenty of twists to keep the reader on their toes!

You can buy the book in Kindle, paperback and hardback formats at https://www.amazon.co.uk/IMPUNITY-justice-murder-Gardener-fiction-e...

The way authors work

A few years ago, I ran a creative writing course and, at the beginning of one of the sessions, I asked my fifteen students how they worked.The result was fifteen different answers –one author wrote everything by hand then typed it onto their computer, another wrote it all in note form then linked the notes together, one did not edit anything until everything was…See More
