About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

THE MESSAGE HAS DISAPPEARED.
SO HAS YOUR BEST FRIEND . . .


Get ready for the most unputdownable thriller of 2024, from no.1 bestselling author K. L. Slater
Saffy is waiting to go into a job interview when she receives a text message from her best friend, Leona:
Can’t speak . . . don’t text or call . . . please just come

As Saffy struggles to understand what is happening the phone screen changes:
This message was deleted.
Saffy races to Leona’s house, but when her friend answers the door, she insists everything's fine. She doesn't know anything about the message. Saffy can tell something’s not right, but after looking around the house, she can’t think of anything else she can do.
Six hours later, Saffy gets a knock on the door. It's the police. Leona is missing, with her young child. There's blood everywhere.
And Saffy was the last one to see them alive . . .


'A triumph of clever plotting and sharp writing. A compelling thriller, masterfully executed' Rachel Abbott

The Narrator did a great job. Many twists in the story, I couldn't stop listening.

it had a good, engaging storyline

the narrator has a speech impediment that dropped letters on the end of sentences. once heard, it was hard to ignore, so instead of enjoying the book, I would continually find myself saying the word correctly. 😀
it was strange because the same word somewhere else in a sentence had its T said correctly, it was only at the end of the sentence, usually.
sorry if I have now mucked up others listening experience, but for me, it was extremely off putting with this lisp, or whatever it was.

A Tangled Mystery

I loved that the story kept surprising me by going places I didn't imagine. I was invested in the characters stories. I'm not used to the British accent which doesn't have as much expression as other languages. it was well read. Very clear. I enjoyed the book very much.

WOW Kate Slater does it again!

Each time I thought I had this story worked out, it would cleverly take a different direction. I really enjoyed the suspense and how clearly the plot came together, the conclusion in particular.
Narration was perfect.

** spoiler alert ** you won’t like the unsympathetic and heartless DI and DS.

The main character was frustratingly unbelievable.

Perhaps my expectations were not appropriate. The storyline wasn’t too bad but my goodness the main character was incredibly hard work, completely unrealistic behaviours.

Plot

It had a good plot compared to many other books. Liked the way loose ends were tied up.

Loved the ending

Great book keeps you guessing and there’s a bit if a moral life lesson in there.
