Review of "Impunity" by Richelle Elberg.

It's about time I started to contribute to the Book Marketing Network. After all I've been a member for quite a while. Unlike most other posts here I've decided that publicising someone else's work would be good for my soul.

I have recently finished reading a novel by an American lady - Richelle Elberg - she was offering her novel "Impunity" as a kindle freebee a month or so back as part of her marketing campaign. So many self-published books nowadays are poorly written, have too linear stories and leave you feeling cheated of time, this is NOT one of those.

Let me ask you a question: What would you do?

Faced with a crashed money truck in the middle of nowhere, its doors burst open at the rear, and there, before you, millions of dollars in easily portable sacks. Would you take some? Who’d know?

This is how Impunity starts. A wonderfully engaging beginning to a book. It makes you ask yourself what would you do in the same situation. I for one would probably do the same as the principle characters. I won’t go into any more detail concerning the consequences as this would spoil your read, however I will say it’s worth your time.

When I first began reading I thought this book would be similar to Scott Smith’s “A Simple Plan”. No it isn’t. Although the initial premise of finding a stack of cash is similar, Impunity is a far better book. All in all a superiorly crafted piece of work. It is written in a much more engaging style, it flows with more pace and has deeper more believable characters. I particularly liked the bad-guy back story and how it weaved into the main narrative, creating tension and a feeling of anxiety for the main players.

An excellent novel and highly recommended.
