I have never read any books by this author but was tempted by the description. What a great thriller this was-in fact I could not put it down and I shall certainly be looking for other titles by Laura DiSilverio.
The novel contains two strong female protagonists; Sydney and Reese who are estranged sisters. When Sydney suddenly becomes the target of a hitman after accidently picking up his phone Reese rushes to help her and the sisters work together to find out what is going on. This all starts when Sydney's fiancé is killed in error right at the beginning of the novel, an event which sets the tone for a fast-moving plot.
The story is told from both Sydney's point of view and also that of the hitman, Paul , which was a nice twist. In fact the reader almost feels some sympathy for him as we learn about his father who has dementia and other aspects of his background. It appears he doesn't really like killing innocent bystanders like Sydney; however he is willing to murder for money and doesn't seem to feel any remorse. A strange character but interesting!
I liked the way the plot developed as we got to know both Sydney and Reese. We learn about their private lives and indeed we also find out about Paul too. Characters are well drawn and when I got to the end of the book it left me wondering what would happen to them next. Could this stand alone be part of a new series?
The story moved at a cracking pace and there is an interesting twist at the end which I did not expect.
Thanks to Netgalley and the publishers for my advance copy in exchange for an honest review.

This book is fantastic! It is very well written, fast paced, and full of suspense! It was very difficult to put down. The main characters are great, we follow Sydney through the streets of DC after she accidentally swaps cell phones with a hit man. She enlists the help of her estranged sister Reese to track down the hit man, at the same time putting her own life in danger. Lots of twists and turns in this book!
It has been awhile since I have read a suspense novel, and after reading this one, I remembered why I love them so much! I hope this is the start to a new series, I will definitely read more!

This was my first book by this author but it won’t be the last, I hope. Laura DiSilverio writes with ease so the reader is immediately drawn into the book. I really liked the main characters; Sydney who turns out to be much stronger than she thinks; Reece, who finds it in herself to reach out and try to end the family feud; and even the killer, because part of the story is told from his view.
It was hard to put down once I started reading and I really hope that this book is the start of a series.

Close Call by Laura DiSilverio begins with something that could happen to any of us - Sydney Ellison picks up the wrong phone in a deli. She doesn’t realize her mistake until she gets a call on that phone talking about murder. Sydney’s first reaction is to just ignore the call; it must be a prank, right? And suddenly she is drawn back to a past she thought she’d left behind for good and that innocent mistake of picking up the wrong phone – and the possible confusion of the caller about her name – Sydney, Syd? – becomes much more than a mistake. Now it’s a cat-and-mouse chase with life and death stakes.
Close Call is a thriller with many layers and unexpected twists and turns. The plot is solid, well-developed, and fast-paced. The story is rich in detail about all of the very compelling characters, making it impossible to simply like or dislike them or characterize any of them as good or evil. Sydney is stubborn, hardheaded, often impulsive. She thinks she’s moved on but she won’t let much of the past go. She’s also loyal and dedicated and brave, but that impulsive rush to action without thinking has serious consequences. She is responsible for much of the danger to those around her because she has a need to act. The story very effectively switches back and forth from Sydney’s point of view to that of the hitman, Paul. The suspense builds to an ending I didn’t see coming, although when I thought about it, all the clues were there. The locations are richly described. You feel are there, in danger along with Sydney or trying to plan your next move with Paul.
I received an audio copy of Close Call from the author and have voluntarily left this review. The story is riveting, with more and more layers being revealed as each chapter unfolds, making it ideal for an audiobook. The narrator is skilled and easy to listen to. I didn’t want my daily walks to end. I highly recommend Close Call.

I will say it had a different ending than most cozy mysteries but I liked the characters. A mistake during a frenzied moment in a deli causes Sydney Ellison to become involved with a "hit man" and putting her life in danger. When her fiance gets killed Sydney believes the bullet was meant for her but can't convince the police so she takes it upon herself to solve the crime. Joined by her sister Reese the two try to uncover the mystery while they reform their sister bond that was broken years ago. Reese is looking for forgiveness and Sydney has to look deep in herself to allow Reese back into her life. A kind policeman, an upcoming election where one candidate is on the "hit list" and a mother who is self absorbed lead to an involved story that holds your interest throughout. Even the hit man has a unique story line where we feel compassion for him in an odd way. Very well written with a strong lead and an endearing protagonist....well maybe not endearing but I kind of liked him. Seems like a series could come out of this book. I would love to see more of Sydney, her sister and the kind policeman.

From the very first page, the plot just sticks to the mind easily and with every single page turned, you can easily feel the temptation and curiosity about what’s going to happen next.
The story begins when Sydney changed her phone by mistake and got a phone call which gives her a chance to earn money by murdering someone. As she ignores the call, a series of murders and incidents happen through which she gets the surety that the call which she took for a wrong call was for her.
This is one of the best books if someone is into reading mystery because you won’t get the idea of who the actual murderer was and the motive behind the killings till the last page.
So, I would definitely recommend this book to anyone and it doesn’t bores you for even a single split second. You get so much involved in the story that you start to think of it even when you’re not reading it or taking a break.
Enjoy!

LOVED IT!!
I love Laura DiSilverio's writing! It has an intriguing and old-style gritty quality that I love! Great edgy/cool characters, great story, and the narration was amazing. I've listened to The Reckoning Stones prior to this one, and can see her talent in both. This is one that I could not stop listening to, I found myself in the slow lane (which I HATE as a long commuter LOL), wanting to get to work or back home just a few precious minutes later so I could listen to more. I love stories on the longer side, I love to "get in deep" as they say lol. Absolutely chilling story!
This is a fantastic murder mayhem mystery, and is great from beginning to end. I was swept away, dragged under and spit back out into the world. It was a great experience, I highly recommend it (and also The Reckoning Stones!), I'll be searching for more of Laura's titles!

I think this is one of the best premises I've read for opening a mystery novel. A stressed and frazzled woman picks up the wrong phone in the bustle and rush at a deli counter on her way home from work. When it rings, and she answers it, she hears what sounds like plans for an assassination.
You'd go to the police, right? Even if you had very good reasons for wanting to avoid the limelight. You'd go to the intended victim, right? Even though he knows your sordid past (as does everyone with a television or a newspaper) and has no reason to believe you.
I found myself caught up in Sydney's story, unable to put the book down. When you think she's getting a handle on things, something new blows up. Suspenseful and well plotted.

3.5. I enjoyed this suspense novel, my first by this author. It was a quick read. Readers learn quite a bit about all of the main characters, both the good and the bad.Although I sometimes found Sydney rather naive about some things, and even a little whiny about her past, she grew a lot during the course of the story.
The mystery part of the story developed well. We knew who was the hit man, but who hired him and what exactly was going on remained open until towards the end. There were even some red herrings that I was wrongly convinced were the answer(s).
I believe I'll be looking for some of DiSilverio's others works.

This was good. A couple of snide "right wing" remarks and I didn't like her link between Oral Roberts and white supremacists (What exactly are you implying Ms. Disilverio? A follow up appearance of the bible and a visit to the Episcopal church doesn't mitigate that, really.) Otherwise, I enjoyed the plot. Pacing was brisk and the characters pretty well developed, though I thought the back story of the family dynamic (parents) could have come into play a bit sooner. All in all, a read worthy of looking up her next.

Have you ever picked up the wrong mobile phone? One that's just like yours? If so, did it lead to murder? When Sydney Ellison does just that, quite by accident, she's quickly drawn into a situation that causes her personal tragedy, but it also unleashes a past that she's tried to bury for years. DiSilverio has written humorous, traditional, and cozy mysteries to acclaim. She's equally deftly adroit with edge-of-the-chair thrillers. CLOSE CALL is aptly named!
May 30, 2020
If there's a lesson to be learned in Laura DiSilverio's thriller, Close Call, it's to keep close watch on your cellphone. Accidentally picking up a hired killer's phone instead of her own leads to a fast-paced story of Sydney Ellison's attempts to avoid getting killed herself while avoiding any publicity because of an unfortunate chain of events that occurred when she was young and stupid. I enjoyed this book so much.
August 18, 2017
Surprisingly excellent story!
This is the first book I have read from this author. I found the pace of the story line was just the right speed with no dull or shallow moments. I highly recommend you take the time to read this. I doubt you will be left disappointed!

A thriller with so many twists and turns you will enjoy the ride. A case of mistaken identity leads to murder and Sidney Ellison needs to solve the murder to clear herself.

Super twisty, page-turner of a thriller. A lot of fun. Definitely worth your time. Looking forward to her other stand alones since I have exhausted her mystery series (under all her names).

Wow what a book to start the year off. This is an edge of your seat, hold your breath, fantastic, suspenseful book. I loved it and once I started I couldn't put it down. I found myself caught up in the story and when Sydney was caught in the cross hairs of an assassin I found myself holding my breath willing her to move and not get shot. I am a big fan of Tom Clancy books and Robert Ludlums Jason Bourne and this book is right up there with them.
When Sydney inadvertently picks up the wrong cell phone , which happens to be the burner phone of an assassin, and gets a call saying it was time to kill Montoya that's when bad things start happening. Her fiancé Jason is killed by mistake when the assassin mistakes him for Sydney, because he assumed the name meant it was a guy. He has to make it right and still kill his contract while dealing with Sydney, the loose end. Sydney wants to find out who killed Jason, get the police to believe her that there is a contract out on Sen. Montoya and still stay alive. Things keep going wrong and people have to be killed and Sydney needs to find the killer without getting killed. Can she do it? Her sister Reese tries to help but ends up shot and now Sydney is on her own to find the answers. Can she find out who the killer is and more importantly who contracted him? Will she survive? Will the people around her survive?
I like how Laura DiSilverio makes the story about both the struggles of Sydney and the assassin. She lets us see the story unfold from both of their perspectives and it adds to the story. She has an excellent suspenseful plot and well developed characters and story line. The story just flows and the whole time I was reading this book I was thinking this would be such a good movie.
I hope if you like a good suspenseful read then you will read this book.

CLOSE CALL is a thrill a minute, intense ride from the first sentence to the last. I am impressed.
I enjoy Laura Di Silverio’s cozy mysteries so I jumped at the chance to read this political thriller. I did not know what to expect, but I surely was not disappointed. I could not put this book down once I started reading. You know those rare books that you keep reading while you are doing other things, like cook dinner? Yep, this is one of those kinds of books. From the moment Sydney realizes that she has picked up a stranger’s cell phone until the deadly climax, I felt compelled to devour this book.
CLOSE CALL is told from two points of view, the protagonist Sydney and the hit man Paul. At first, I was afraid that reading from Paul’s point of view would ruin “whodunit”, but I was completely taken by surprise when the person who hired Paul was revealed. Reading Paul’s thoughts and details of his life made me feel sorry for him…almost. Sydney just wants to put her scandalous past behind her, but picking up Paul’s phone and the resulting death of her fiancé Jason thrusts her into action and the limelight. She is strong, dogged, and resourceful. Does she make some dumb decisions? Of course she does. But, overall she is level-headed and believable. The story of her past unfolds at a good pace, and I felt her hurt and eventual forgiveness, both of herself and her sister, right along with her. I loved her sister Reese’s character and would eagerly read a book with her as the central character.
Full of political conspiracy, nothing is as it seems and no one can be trusted. The twists and turns are numerous, the story suspenseful, and the final revelation action packed and mind blowing. I highly recommend this fast-paced thriller to anyone looking for a well crafted mystery.

Not quite non-stop suspense as some reviewers have suggested, but mostly. The author has firm handles on the story line, the characters and the setting. She manipulates all with a deft hand. If things are a little more complicated than is the usual case in thrillers of this kind, well. It’s up to we readers to pay more than casual attention, right?
The title of the book might have effectively been pluralized. We are with the main character, Sydney Ellison, through most of the book and while she weeps gallons of tears, her determination to see the mystery and the crimes to their righteous conclusions is laudable. That she perseveres in the face of repeated set-backs is testament to her core grit. Sydney’s reconciliation with her sister, Reese, her handling of their slightly insane mother, all play important parts in what is essentially a family drama. The novel is intense, compels persistent page-turning, and introduces us to a multi-dimensioned professional assassin.
In an overcrowded deli, located in Washington, D.C., Sydney encounters her nemesis and main adversary in the story, although she doesn’t know it at the time. Nor does her adversary-to-be, a professional hit man who doesn’t appear to be quite as put-together as he should be, given apparent longevity. Their brief interaction sends both on a long and winding path through mistaken identities, murder, family rollercoaster rides and both keen and fatuous observations on D.C. politicians. Also, lots of tears.
Given the current situation in our nation’s capital, the confirmation hearings going on, the story has exciting real-life resonance. Readers seeking a tension-filled story with real characters should enjoy this novel.

I typically do not read modern mysteries and thrillers. I was sent this book by the author to review, and loving many of DiSilverio's books, I went for it. The moral of the story is: hang on to your cell phone. Sidney Ellison accidentally switching her cell phone with a stranger's ends up with four people dead and several others injured. Sidney feels like she has finally gotten past the mistakes she made years earlier, and is ready to marry and spend a year in Indonesia with her new husband, but when she arrives home she discovers he has been murdered. She is convinced the murder is a result of an odd phone call she received on the cell phone she brought home, which turned out not to be hers. Frustrated because no one would believe her, she plunges head first into a murder-for-hire scheme targeting a political candidate. To do this she enlists the aid of her estranged sister.
DiSilverio has cleverly constructed the plot so that it is full of twists and turns and red herrings. As a dedicated mystery read, I usually have a handle on who ends up dead, and who did the killing. Not this time. I uncovered the "solution" as it was revealed...not ahead of time. This always makes me happy. I highly recommend this exciting read!

I’ve read many cozy mysteries by Ms. DiSilverio (The Charlie Swift Mysteries, Mall Cop Mysteries, and the first in The Readaholics series), but Close Call is very different. It’s fast paced and full of suspense.
The majority of the book alternates between Sydney’s perspective, and hired killer Paul’s. Even though you are getting information from the killer’s perspective, there is still plenty of mystery – who hired him and why? Sydney is frantically wondering the same thing – whose phone does she have, and ultimately, who hired him?
Another layer in the story is the relationship between each main character and their family. Sydney is reconnected with her estranged sister Reese, who seems to want to help her, but Sydney doesn’t trust Reese’s motives. Meanwhile, Paul is living a double life – his relationship with his sick father adds interesting pieces to his story.
Overall, a fun read. I’ve enjoyed Ms. DiSilverio’s writing in the past, and Close Call did not disappoint. I stayed up late at night to keep turning pages and see what would happen next.
