Items related to The Calling
A small town - sleepy, remote, safe nd unprepared when a deadly visitor comes calling . . . Detective Inspector Hazel Micallef of Port Dundas, Ontario is making her way toward retirement with something less than grace. Hobbled by a bad back and a dependence on painkillers, and blindsided by her recent divorce, sixty-one-year-old Hazel has only the constructive criticism of her old goat of a mother to buoy her. But when a Port Dundas woman is found murdered in her home with no sign of resistance and her mouth sculpted into a strangely meaningful shape Hazel s bickering department springs to life. And as more bodies are found, Hazel must confront a clamoring press and the town s rumour mill whilst she edges ever closer to this terrifying, gruesomely inventive serial killer.

Review:
"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)

"The most enthralling, creepiest, grizzliest book I've read in years." (CHELSEA CAIN, author of HEARTSICK)
Perfect for fans of Thomas Harris, Karin Slaughter or even Fargo, this is a thrilling, chilling, sinister crime novel with an all-too believable, dark villain at its core.
The killer truly is the stuff of nightmares and yet, cleverly, the gruesome and the terrifying give way to some really fun characterisation. What Inger Ash Wolfe achieves to great effect is the perfect balance of light and dark excitement. The Calling is a race against the clock, beautifully written and thoroughly absorbing from beginning to end.
It is also the first in a series featuring the very real Hazel Micallef, and readers will want to meet her again!
