Vivian and Leo are running the small island paper, whilst Leo’s father is recovering from a heart attack. Leo’s father wants his son to take over his newspaper empire and has Vivian promise to help him, hopefully keeping Leo away from Africa and the dangers there, whist covering up his father’s actual recovery. While on a night out with her close friends, a strange phone call and an island girl, Phoebe, having a fall, Vivian ends up accompanying Phoebe to the hospital for a broken arm and overhears something she shouldn’t.
She is concerned about the care Phoebe may receive and is shocked to find out the girl died later that night. The hospital say is was an accidental morphine dose, but from what Vivian had already overheard and now this, she thinks it’s murder. She and some of the reporters on her team, set out to try and find out the truth. They find out that Phoebe had a shady past and a possibly dangerous accomplice/boyfriend.
There is reference to a certain ‘vengeful caller’, from the title and that leads them all in different direction as there are several potential suspects. The hospital has ordered its staff not to talk to the reporters. Who is willing to talk and who is telling the truth, will get them closer to the final suspect. But the closer Vivian gets, the closer she is to getting in the way of the true killers vengeance.
An exciting and not overly long read, which just took up part of a morning. The book also covers things such as guilt, whether that be for something you have done, or more something you are keeping secret or stopping someone else to pursue. That put a good spin on the feeling of guilt and how it can manifest. The main characters are enjoyable and you get to learn a good amount about them. There are enough dead bodies, twists and turns to keep you wondering what might happen next. The actual suspect is not who you might expect and makes a good ending.
I would certainly read some more books by this author, hopefully a bit longer, so they can go into more depth with characters and plotlines. This was a fine book to read, whilst whiling away part of a day and was easy to do so. I received an ARC copy of this book from Hidden Gems and I have freely given my own opinion of the book above.
