A racially charged murder pits the NY assistant DA against a flashy defense lawyer in an “irresistible” legal thriller by the bestselling author of Infamy (Publishers Weekly).
It’s the early ’80s, and New York City is eating itself alive. The murder rate is skyrocketing, and Butch Karp, the battle-tested assistant district attorney in charge of the NYPD’s homicide bureau, is the only thing standing between the city and chaos. And he’s about to get pushed to the breaking point.
As the bureau chief, Karp is not supposed to try cases himself, but he’s about to make an exception. A wealthy suburbanite is accused of a series of murders in Harlem, and the case’s racial implications threaten to set the city ablaze. Promising to get a conviction, Karp puts his reputation and his career on the line. His opponent is the country’s most famous defense attorney, a notorious showman determined to use every trick in the book to get his client free, and destroy Butch Karp in the process.
Before he became the New York Times–bestselling author of such legal thrillers as No Lesser Plea and Falsely Accused, Robert K. Tanenbaum was one of the most successful trial attorneys in New York City. Irresistible Impulse displays the grit, brains and brio that made him so successful.
Irresistible Impulse is the 9th book in the Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
“Tannenbaum’s snappy, electric ninth novel to feature the latter-day Hepburn and Tracy . . . the suspense here is Hitchcockian.” —Publishers Weekly
“Gripping.” —Kirkus Reviews
Irresistible Impulse The Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi Series Book 9 edition by Robert K Tanenbaum Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks
I had high hopes for this book since its description was pretty interesting. I love mysteries and legal thrillers but I just could not get into this one. Really long unnecessary descriptions of EVERYTHING in the beginning knocked my hopes down a few notches. The characters are not likeable. I still got over all that. But the thing that really ruined it for me was that it seemed the auther got tired of following plots and just cut some short. All the details from the long trial and we find the verdict from the third hand, just mentioned kinda off hand? Or (spoiler) we find out that there is a mole in the good guys' camp, she is confronted and … end of the chapter. in the next chapter the bad guy is already arrested. This book reads like there are parts missing. REALLY underwhelming and anticlimactic which is exactly the opposite of what a book of this genre should be. I finished it but i doubt I'll reach for other books in this series. I'm a fast and avid reader but this book took me a long time to finish simply because it cut the plots off right before the buildups reached their climaxes. After a while reading it was almost like a chore, i didn't keep reading because i was so into it and curious what would happen next.I kept reading just to finish it. Very dissapointing which is a shame because it's obvious the author is eloquent and can write.Product details

Irresistible Impulse The Butch Karp and Marlene Ciampi Series Book 9 edition by Robert K Tanenbaum Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews
I really did enjoy reading this book. The characters were believable. I could see this being a movie.I can say it was good ,but not great. Some of the details were implausible.
Must read this series in order. Tanenbaum has been running this for years, and the background adds much to the reader's enjoyment. I read Irresistible Impulse before, and it was a nice re-visit. This series is on my must read list.
This novel kept up the high standard of the previous Karp/Ciampi volumes. I love the detail and human feel of the characters. This was set earlier in the families life than some of the others I have read but it held my interest as well as the others.
This one just does not have the compelling, page turning impact that most of the Karp/Ciampi stories evoke. It is a good story, it does have it's moments, but somehow does not keep me as involved and believing in our hero/heroine and the good guys are right philosophy I enjoy with Tanenbaum.
The plot was interesting as well as the characters. But too long with too much detail to legal arguments, closing statements,various locations and the NY DA department. The back and forth betweem Marlene and Butch could have used a little more humor and love. The most interesting characters were Lucy and Tranh but Wolfe could have used a little more description. I admit to skimming long pages dedicated to the trial but did in summary enjoy the book.
I read the first third of this book before I realized I had read it before. Luckily, the details were fuzzy so I kept on going. I enjoyed it as much the second time as I did the first! The characters are younger and it gives you the background for the later books. It was actually nice to go back and visit them in the days when the twins were just babies and life was chaos.
I've read several "Butch and Marlene" episodes from Robert Tanebaum and enjoyed this one just like the rest. I enjoy strong female characters and male characters that are not intimidated by them, so this book fits my bill. It had a blend of street savy and corporate uptightness that blends well with each character. Following Marlene up and down the streets, trying to imagaine what's around the next turn and how she'll handle it keeps it exciting. Seeing the district attorney's office from the inside, from Butch's point of view, is a whole other aspect and totally opposite of Marlene's working world. The book is multifaceted. It varies from trying to protect the underdog, dodge bullets and bad guys all the while, make a living and raising a family. It has suspense, triumph, emotion and success, Marlene making things safer her way, Butch dong it his way. Very enjoyable read.
