I liked the mystery and the characters. Plot was well written and kept me guessing. However, I did not feel the chemistry between Jack & Megan.

When Murder Calls is a very suspenseful book introducing us to Megan who works for a company who does TV rating statistics while finishing her masters degree in communications. She hires Jack who keeps who he really is and why he wants the job a secret. A serial killer called the Grim Reaper is on the loose and kills Megan's boss, Gladys, among others. As the murders keep piling up, things get pretty tense for everyone. But, in the mean time, Megan and Jack start having feelings for each other.
I had no idea who the Grim Reaper was until the end. But throughout the story there are so many implications of who it was that I started to suspect everybody!
There were lots of twists and turns to this story which kept it interesting. The author kept some of the characters quite mysterious which is important because the bad guy had to be kept a secret but there was a character near the beginning of the book that I didn't understand if he was a good guy or not. Generally, there were too many questions about that character and what his roll REALLY was. I was also surprised at the lack of editing considering it was published by Harlequin.
I've read other books by Emelle Gamble and loved them so I expected to really like When Murder Calls too. But sadly, I found it lacking. Please remember that this is just my opinion of the book and I'm sure others enjoyed it much more than I did.

This was quite a roller-coaster ride, once it got going. So many murders going on in Melbourne. And Megan seems to find herself in the middle of it all. The author kept giving us all sorts of leads to the killer's identity ... and all sorts of bad things were being done by lots of the characters in the book. So much happening - and all in the 1990s, when you didn't have cell phones and easy computer access. It really makes you think how far we've come in such a relatively short space of years. Very interesting.

Mystery, murders, a single woman with two small children struggling to finish school and create a better life for her and her kids, a hot looking man wanting to share that life, what more could we want in a cozy?
A serial killer is on the loose from the opening pages. I love serial killers. Several suspects pop up early, but I keep thinking they are too obvious. The suspense was slow boiling, but Emelle kept me guessing and the pacing picked up as I neared the end.
When Murder Calls by Emelle Gamle is one of those of books where I would think it’s over, then something else would happen, then I would think it’s over, then something else would happen…The action and suspense continued into the last pages. It would have liked to have more of an ending, but I know all I need to know and I am good with that.

This was one exciting, jam packed book. There is suspense, mystery, self-doubt, murder, secrets, sexual attraction and love. It is well written with intense characters and a story line that is almost impossible to put down. You will keep guessing until the very end! Well worth reading!

I really enjoyed this book! It is set in 1991 and it was fun to go back to that time! Megan and Jake have a wild ride throughout the entire story. A killer is on the loose and suddenly Jake steps into the picture so you are not sure what to expect. This book was a total page turner and I stayed up late one night to finish it, the next day I had a book hangover! It kept me guessing to the very end of the story! I will be reading a lot more of this author in the future.

A page turner!
There is a killer in town! Murder touches the lives of Megan Summers and her two young children... and during this trying time, Jack Gallagher comes along... What a book!!! Page after page had my attention! It kept me guessing and I loved trying to figure out who the murderer was! A very dramatic ending! Two thumbs up for this Romantic Suspense by Emelle Gamble!

Another exciting romantic suspense from this author! This one had more twists and surprises and more heart-pounding suspense than the previous ones I read and I finished it in two late-night readings because I couldn’t even make a good guess as to “whodunit” until the very end! The exciting (and sometimes scary) adventures that Megan and Jack had in this story about TV reporting and ratings, survey competition, murder and mayhem, has made Ms. Gamble one of my go-to authors when I want some excitement in my reading life.
