Lady in the Dark

All the publicity earlier this year over the true identity of Inger Ash Wolfe undoubtedly worked in favor of her/his new novel, The Calling. But January Magazine editor and author Linda L. Richards says that the book has merits far beyond questions concerning its provenance. In a January review today, she writes:

The Calling is exquisite. It resonates with the rhythms and pleasurable tropes of classic creators of contemporary British crime fiction. And, yes: this story is classically Canadian--and I suspect the author is, as well--but if we were to slot The Calling into a single school or force it onto a single bookstore shelf, it would sit near the very best works by Minette Walters, Ian Rankin, Ruth Rendell and P.D. James.
