After five years in prison for a murder he did not commit, Sam O’Brien though this was the happiest day of his life. Then reality set in and he discovered that even though he was innocent, he would be a murderer forever in the eyes of the public.  The press was forever hounding him and now here is this woman at his door.

Annie Townsend’s mother is missing, she can’t find her brother Jimmy and the only way she knows to try and locate him is through Sam, who was in prison with him.  She looks so downhearted and as much as he has no use for the cops or the press he vows to help Annie.

When her mother is found murdered, the plot thickens. There are several suspects who could have been the murderer, The horse trainer who sold her worthless horses, her husband who  has been possibly having  an affair, What about Annie’s brother Jimmy who has a drug problem.  Only one problem who ever it is, is trying to set up Sam.

As emotions grow between Sam and Annie, neither one wants to let the other know how they feel. Annie is not sure if she can trust Sam Her Father and Jimmy are at her demanding she make him leave the house. Sam’s temper  makes Annie wonder, could he commit murder? Sam has a lot of bitterness and anger in him that he is trying to control and Annie has trouble with getting depressed over difficult situations. The characters are saturated in pain and sadness.

This is an exciting mystery where the plot thickens with each turn of the page, with a climatic finish. If you  love a good mystery then I highly recommend you pick up  a copy of Nora LeDuc’s newest  book” Murder Came Calling”. This looks to be a best seller in my mind.

In "Murder Came Calling", Nora LeDuc, has once again created a page turner.

Ms. LeDuc's gift for creating both realistic characters and an intriguing story is found in her lastest novel. This book is full of suspense and will lead you through many exciting adventures.

I formed an immediate attachment to the main characters of Annie Townsend and Sam O'Brien. Annie is from a wealthy background. Sam, however,is a result of a blue-collar background and recently released from prison.

Annie talks Sam into helping her solve the murder of her Mother. This relationship is very upsetting to Annie's family. Actually they loathe Sam and want him out of Annie life.

This story is full of action and drama right up to the last page.

Once I finished reading "Murder Came Calling", it left me missing Annie and Sam. I wish the author would write a sequel to this novel so we can follow the victim's day in court.

If you are bored with prime time television than be sure to pick up Ms. LeDuc new novel. You will be spellbound from the beginning to the end.
