Loyalty has a price.
Kay Hunter has survived a vicious attack at the hands of one of the country's most evil serial killers.
Returning to work after an enforced absence to recover, she discovers she wasn't the only victim of that investigation.
DI Devon Sharp remains suspended from duties, and the team is in turmoil.
Determined to prove herself once more and clear his name, Kay undertakes to solve a cold case that links Sharp to his accuser.
But, as she gets closer to the truth, she realises her enquiries could do more harm than good.
Torn between protecting her mentor and finding out the truth, the consequences of Kay's enquiries will reach far beyond her new role…
Call to Arms is a gripping murder mystery, and the fifth in the Detective Kay Hunter series:
1. SCARED TO DEATH2. WILL TO LIVE3. ONE TO WATCH4. HELL TO PAY 5. CALL TO ARMS
A page-turning murder mystery for fans of Peter Robinson, David Baldacci and Harlen Coben.
Agent Kay Hunter is back at work from her enounter with her nemesis and recovering from her injuries. Kay’s doctor’s recommendation is taking things easy until reaching full physical and mental recovery, but she just can’t remain calm under DI Sharp’s suspension from duties. Kay and her team will work hard to find out the truth behind Sharp’s suspensions, and maybe uncover a corruption case at the police department.
I always reserve weekends for Kay Hunter’s adventures to disconnect from the world avoid interruptions. Although I missed some of the exciting elements I found in the previous book, this was a very pleasureable listen too. We have to remember that there was an important story arc that closed in the previous book. The gist for his book’s plot was planted in book four, but although Sharp was an important character for Kay, I had issues connecting to him.
Independent from all that, it was an exciting book, full of great moments and several plot twists that had me on the edge of my seat from beggining to end. We get to know better some of Kay’s colleagues, and this made the book richer than the previous ones.
It was also nice to go back to Alison Campbell’s narration, which has become for me an essencial part in this series. Her direct and compelling style kept my attention at all times, while also delivering excellent character perfomances. The audio production was spotless.
Whatever Rachel Amphlett comes up with regarding Kay Hunter, she can take my money. An amazing series for fans of thrillers.

My name is Elena. Since I was a little child I loved science fiction and fantasy, and I can’t resist a good novel. In 2015, while wait I started to listen to audiobooks and I discovered the pleasure in being able to read while doing my daily tasks, so there’s always an audiobook playing on my phone. If you see me with my Bluetooth headphones on, please be gentle, I get easily startled.
I live with my boyfriend, which I met during my six-year stay in Belgium, four cockatiels, eight lovebirds, and a hamster in Madrid, Spain; and I like to spend my free time knitting and sewing while listening to audiobooks.
