Book Review: "The Telephone Call" By Michael Packenham

An interesting dilemma is approached here with breakneck speed and decisive action.

It turns out our main characters are Harry and Rosemary plus son Tom.

The dilemma is that Rosemary overhears a disturbing conversation that Harry had via phone and flees with Tom.

Twelve yrs later not knowing whether to stay in hiding or go for it - she returns to England.

Can PI Daniel save them both or is it shoveling you know what against the tide as Harry and friends seem to be pure evil.

Three people are killed and the information sent to readers in the second half mounted to alarming detail involving rape and kidnapping.

However, even in darkness there's light and we must remember this approach to the unthinkable.

The ended was quite unexpected and the entire process was well written and detailed with intrigue and suspense building around each and every corner.

The only thing that bothered me was that we rarely heard from the main characters after the initial intro once the story became established and we took off on a journey with the other host of talented characters.
