This was great from start to finish!!

I loved this book. There were never any slow moments. I can't wait to read the next one.

So far the best

Would you listen to Irresistible Impulse again? Why?

I think I would. This book was the most interesting to me of this series.

What other book might you compare Irresistible Impulse to and why?

That's a tuff question. This book added a layer that I didn't feel in the other books of this series. I felt that Marlene was the major focus in this book. Marlene is a much more complex figure than Karp. Tanenbaum did well exploring with her character.

What about Traber Burns’s performance did you like?

He is ok.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes it was. I almost did do that very thing but a Christmas party got in the way.

Any additional comments?

Tanenbaum did a nice job with this book.

Excellent!

These books by Tanenbaum are so very addictive. I never know what is going to happen. The law is interesting, not annoying like it is on Law and Order. This story had so many twists and turns, yet there was always the family at the base.

My neighbors Marlene and Butch

I’ve Read so many of these great novels. Lucy is definitely gonna be a spinoff. I’ve also picked the author to Co write my next book!

one of my favorite authors

Non stop thriller with multiple twists and turns. Hard to put down. what I expect from this author.

Oh Tannenbaum!

I am in love with this family! What a great listen! The story weaves itself out from the Karp family, then snaps back, entangling one, two, or more of them in more serious shenanigans again! Great fun for me!

Marlene is a super hero in her job of protection .

Marlene is a spunky heroin defending those that can't defend themselves. Lucy all grown up fighting her own battles all ong side her father.

NUCULAR

The reader said “nucular” again. This is the utterance of the uneducated. It should be “nuclear”.

One of the best.

Have listened to the whole series and while all are good this was the best on so far in my opinion. Great job in writing and narrating.

Marlean

The Marlean charter is not only confusing, she’s awful at her job, and a poor mate.
