This is my first Mark Mills book, but I can safely say this won't be my last!

Impact is a police procedural set in the American state of Connecticut. The story follows investigators Detective Carrie Fuller and Dylan Bodine as they try to unravel what happened to Florence Winslow. Was her car crash an accident, or was it something more sinister?

During the investigation, they find out that Florence's father-in-law is Lyndon Winslow, an extremely wealthy man who is on his deathbed. She's set to inherit a lot of money, pulling Bodine and Fuller into a world of money and greed, hoping to keep Florence safe.

I loved the short, sharp chapters in this novel, along with some great action scenes, I had a hard time putting it down.

I loved the detectives. Dylan is newly promoted and eager to prove himself, whereas Carrie is about to retire and has seen a lot over her career, but still maintains a sharp wit and eye for detail. Together they made a great pairing, playing off each to solve the case.

There were several points of view through the story, including Florence, Dylan, Lyndon Winslow and the nameless culprit. I'm not usually a fan of too many POVs, but this story pulls it off well.

I had the mastermind behind the attempt on Florence's life quite early on, but there were plenty of suspects and misdirection to make me doubt myself.

Impact is a compelling story that had me gripped from beginning to end. I have my fingers crossed that I'll see more books featuring Bodine and Fuller in the future!
