In national award-winning author Darden North's debut novel, House Call, a police investigation into the murder of a young hospital nurse rips through a Mississippi community consumed in self-indulgence, reverse sexual discrimination, and cut-throat medical politics. Before a psychopath can be stopped, another will die.

Great Characters and Unique Story
Revisado: 05-21-19
The narrator Michael Robbins added a great twist to this story with his southern dialect and occasional sound effects, which I don’t usually hear in an audio book. The author’s characters made me want to know them whether they were good or bad people. I particularly liked the main character Doctor Knox Chamblee. I hope to see more of him in North’s novels.

Historia4 out of 5 stars 27
Small southern towns are not always sleepy—particularly in Larkspur, Mississippi, where homes burst into flames and lives crumble. It is the suspicious death of a young woman that costs premiere plastic surgeon Dan Foxworth his surgical dynasty, his life, and that of his wife. Devastated by the loss of both parents and unable to meet a bitter grandfather's expectations, Sher Foxworth tries to save an elderly woman from her burning home. Suddenly the accidental hero, his life is turned upside down by disturbing twists of fate.

Made me feel like I was living the story
Revisado: 11-10-14
If you could sum up Points of Origin in three words, what would they be?
Hot southern revenge
What other book might you compare Points of Origin to and why?
Any Greg Iles novel
What about Fred Wolinsky’s performance did you like?
The narrator's diction and cadence are easy to follow, although the southern accent he assumes is more typical of a South Carolinian than a character from Mississippi, the setting of the novel. The book has many characters, both male and female, a challenge for any narrator but the writing assists the reader in following the dialogue.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
For me there were many powerful moments in this novel. Two that come to mind are when the plastic surgeon realizes his mistake with the young girl and knows he is powerless to reverse it and when Sher Foxworth visits his grandfather, finding him talking to squirrels that his grandfather calls by name.
Any additional comments?
The ending caught me of guard but did not leave me hanging. I hope there will be another Sheridan Foxworth novel and look forward to more work by North and Wolinsky.
