Calling out for You

De: Karin Fossum, Charlotte Barslund - translator

Narrado por: David Rintoul

Gunder Jomann, a quiet, middle-aged man from a peaceful Norwegian community, thinks his life has been made complete when he returns from a trip to India a married man. But on the day his Indian bride is due to join him, he is called to the hospital to his sister's bedside. The local taxi driver sent instead to meet the bride at the airport returns without her. Then the town is shocked by the news of an Indian woman found bludgeoned to death in a nearby meadow.

Inspector Sejer and his colleague Skarre head the murder inquiry, cross-examining the townsfolk and planting seeds of suspicion in a community which has always believed itself to be simple, safe and trusting. For what can only have been an unpremeditated and motiveless act of violence, everyone is guilty until proven innocent.

No ending!

This novel is so disappointing - there is no ending. It's as if the author suddenly stopped writing. There is no resolution, no gathering together of the various strands of the story. One feels cheated, have invested the time in listening to it. The narration however is excellent.
