The Calling (Hazel Micallef) de Inger Ash Wolfe
This was creepier than I like, with a wacko killer traveling across Canada to complete a religious mission. However, I liked the independent 60-year-old female detective who led the investigation.
THE NIGHT BELL is book four in the Hazel Micallef Mystery series, but I didn't have any problems reading the book, despite not having read the previous three books. However, since I have seen the movie do I have some previous knowledge of the characters in the book. But, I don't think you have to read the previous books to enjoy this one.

READ THE REST OF THE REVIEW OVER AT FRESH FICTION
The Scotiabank Giller Prize-winning novel of 2017 follows Jean Mason, who works in a bookstore in downtown Toronto, has a husband and two sons, and has several people inform her that she has a doppelganger wandering around Kensington Market. As Jean embarks on a quest to find this elusive other her, she'll end up spending a lot of time in Bellevue Square trying to unravel the mysterious connection between them.
Ugh! This book! I really disliked it throughout and then HATED the ending. I understand the appeal of it for an awards committee with the unreliable narrator and it's constant exploration of sanity (Bellevue isn't in the title for nothing). It leaves one constantly questioning what is or isn't real, but for this reader it was an uncomfortable and occasionally infuriating reading experience. It feels mostly like an exercise in Michael Redhill feeling very smug about what a clever novel he wrote and how many questions it leaves its readers with. I'm not biting. Decidedly not my jam but I can see other readers eating it up so don't let my violent dislike (entirely) dissuade you… (més)

Very scary. Well-written. Looking forward to reading more of this author's work.
