The body of a young man is found in a graveyard the night after a wild, drug-fuelled party. At first glance, there doesn’t appear to be anything sinister about his death, despite the shock of Detective Inspector Mark Olbeck realising that he once knew him. Detective Sergeant Kate Redman has other things to worry about, not least her ongoing affair with her superior officer Chief Inspector … Inspector Anderton. But when a second body is found in suspiciously similar circumstances, Kate, Olbeck and the rest of the Abbeyford police team realise they are up against a devious killer who will stop at nothing to indulge a literal thirst for blood…
Pulse is the tenth in the best selling Kate Redman Mysteries series, from crime writer Celina Grace.

I like this series a lot. After reading several, the reader “knows” the characters, and likes them. Great writing.
Characters interact well together and plot twist make sense and are satisfying. I’ve read many of Redman’s books and she is an author that I really enjoy. They do not all read the same so I look forward to see how the book develops.
I have read several books in this series. I enjoy them. They are generally well written and have good plot lines. They are good English. Mysteries, reminiscent of many of the BBC series I’ve watched.
I love Celina Grace
The entire Kate Redman series is good, solid plotting with engaging characters. Sometimes you shake your head at how Kate gets herself into trouble (by making poor decisions) for no reason other than to create a tense plot point. But overall I enjoy them.
Fast paced. Great read!
Must admit that this series is one of my top 5 favorites … feel like I’ve lived with these characters for years (and yet, if I picked up a random book mid-series, it would still make sense and not have ‘blanks’ in the back story — without re-telling the back story —– impressive!!!!) Can’t wait to read about Kate’s next adventure
Totally enjoy all her books. They keep me up reading long into the night..
I have enjoyed this book along with the other Kate Redman series books.
I suppose I like the book. However, as so many other books today, there is entirely too much angst and introspection. I’m not really interested in their personal problems.
I always enjoy Celina Grace books. I have read 4 or 5 of the Kate Redman series.
Enjoyed it. U never know what’s going to happen next. Very interesting.
This book was a soap opera masquerading as a mystery. I won’t be reading any more by this author.
Ms Grace never fails to entertain. ~
It was nicely constructed but lacked the depth of a good book.
I have read several of the Kate Redman mysteries and have enjoyed each one. Recommend this series to mystery lovers!
Kept you reading trying to figure what would happen next.
Après avoir lu pratiquement toute la série des enquêtes proposées par Celina Grace, on peut dire que je suis une fan ! Ce roman reflète la qualité de l’ensemble des romans proposés par Celina Grace, même si l’intrigue me semble moins maîtrisée que d’habitude. Et l’auteur ne semble pas très à l’aise quand il s’agit d’évoquer la liaison de Redman avec son “boss”, plutôt plate et pas très excitante … Mais l’ensemble est toujours très lisible, et bien écrit.
Another great Kate Redman thriller. Ms. Grace never disappoints.
This book was very engaging from beginning to end. This author always provides great mysteries!!
