On a warm spring evening in South Los Angeles, a young man is shot and killed on a sidewalk minutes away from his home, one of the thousands of Black Americans murdered that year. His assailant runs down the street, jumps into an SUV, and vanishes, hoping to join the scores of killers in American cities who are never arrested for their crimes. But as soon as the case is assigned to Detective John Skaggs, the odds shift.

One mild summer evening Lily and her husband are enjoying a meal while their baby daughter sleeps peacefully in her pram beneath a maple tree. But when Lily steps outside she is paralysed with terror. The child is bathed in blood. Inspector Sejer is called to the hospital to meet the family. Mercifully, the baby is unharmed, but her parents are deeply shaken, and Sejer spends the evening trying to comprehend why anyone would carry out such a sinister prank.

great narration, not so great plot
Revisado: 04-15-18
What did you like best about The Caller? What did you like least?
The narrator was great. The social commentary was not subtle or nuanced and the plot lacked any unexpected twists.
What could Karin Fossum have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
More complex characters with a little subtlety in their development. Maybe a female character who does something besides take care of other people.
Have you listened to any of David Rintoul’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
First time with Rintoul, but he was grear.
Do you think The Caller needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Based on the flatness of this book, I don't think I will continue with the series.
