The Caller is book 8 in this series. But it's the first I've read of this author. When I say 'read' I mean 'listened to, as I had the audiobook.
It's a pity this book sucked as the premise was great. A killer finds people to kill and adds a touch of torture for friends or family. By video call, the victim's friend or whatever is asked a series of three questions, and every wrong answer ends in the victim suffering and dying.
One day, he video calls Mr. Jay. Mr. Jay doesn't like watching his wife get killed because he can't answer one question. Mr. Jay is a hitman for a cartel and knows how to find people. It is his job.
Throw in the mix, two cops, Detective Robert Hunter, and Carlos Garcia. Hunter seems to know a lot.
One of the letdowns in this book is his Captain needs to be told how a stalker acts, and the mind behind such acts. Shouldn't the Captain have a rudimentary understanding of that? He explains a lot.
Another letdown of this book is the narrator (Thomas Judd). His voice sounds dull, and drones on. He seems uninspired with this project and just wants to get it done. This is the main reason I couldn't get into this book.
The killings were great, but the rest was dull.
