Reviews

[Cindy B. · Rating 3 out of 5]

I think all crime writers should read this, so they don't sound so silly.

[Sally · Rating 3 out of 5]

"Urge to Kill" is like a behind-the-scenes tour of how detectives solve murder mysteries. Edwards explains everything from the crime scene to the courtroom in a way that's easy to understand.

The good part? You get to see how police do their job, and Edwards makes it interesting. The writing is clear, and you feel like you're part of the investigation.

But, just a heads up, if you're not into lots of details, this might be a bit much. It's like getting a super-detailed map when you just wanted directions. And sometimes, the story slows down, like a car stuck in traffic.

In a nutshell, "Urge to Kill" is a solid three-star read. If you're curious about how detectives work but don't mind some extra details, it's worth a look.
