The Calling

Reviews / Votes

The Calling is that rare unplug-the-phone, skip-all-meals, ignore-your-bedtime thriller. It's twisty, sharp and very, very creepy - and Det. Hazel Micallef is a perfectly original charmer * GILLIAN FLYNN, author of GONE GIRL * The Calling had me from the first page and never let me go. I absolutely loved Hazel Micallef * KATE ATKINSON * You're in the hands of a master storyteller. The Calling is a stunner - dark, surprising and utterly compelling * MO HAYDER * A wonderful, creepy, twisty novel. You'll want to devour it all in one sitting * PETER ROBINSON * The most enthralling, creepiest, grizzliest book I've read in years. * CHELSEA CAIN, author of HEARTSICK * So impressive I couldn't put the damned thing down . . . genuine surprises, twists and turns that will keep you turning pages quickly and too late into the night. * LA Times * Bracingly original mystery . . . a first-rate crime writer * Publishers Weekly * The novel quickly builds to an excruciating level of suspense . . . an excellent thriller, both riveting and precise. The ending is a shocker. * Library Journal * Micallef, a nice twist on the traditional middle-aged alcoholic male cop, is wearily, startlingly real. * Guardian * A superbly written novel with a brilliantly conceived and realized plot . . . unforgettable. * Globe & Mail, Canada *
