Publisher's Summary

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

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 Little predictable

Some good characters and story lines but the main character was annoying and the plot was predictable especially with so few people in the story.

Plenty of build up to keep you interested

Great storyline and not too many characters introduced. Narration was easy to listen to. Ending caught me by surprise!

Lots of twists and turns

Really enjoyed this story. A really well thought out story, with lots of twists and turns and nail bitting moment, exactly how you want a triller to play out! Narration was wonderful! I listened too this book, from start to finish without stopping, which cost me a nights sleep! I have listened to quite a few audiobook trillers lately, but they have been disappointing , with truly ridiculous plots and publishes characters. But I loved the main two characters in this book.

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.
