Publisher's summary

My husband was the last person to see the girl in room 12. But did he kill her? Our gorgeous house on our quiet tree-lined street is completely safe, the perfect place to raise our little girl. Or so I thought. Because my heart beats out of my chest when I hear the news tonight. A beautiful young woman has been killed in the River Walk Hotel, barely five minutes away. How can something so awful happen here?

I try to block the shocking story out as I kiss my sweet daughter goodnight, her blonde curls fanning out onto the pillow. I just want my husband Max to come home–I don’t feel safe.

I start to tidy up the house, the only way to distract myself from my swirling thoughts. And that’s when I find it. It’s unmistakable. A key card for room 12 at the River Walk Hotel. Where that poor girl has just been found dead. It must be a coincidence. Right?

My hand starts to shake as I think back over the last few days. I know Max has been a bit distracted, arriving home late at night. I’ve started to become paranoid that he could be having an affair. But never something like this.

I tell myself that Max couldn’t kill anyone. He’s a family man now, different to who he was before. Even so, I should go to the police right away. But I can’t.

Because if I do, I’m scared they’ll start to suspect me. How much do I really know about the girl in room 12? And if the truth comes out, how far will I go to protect my precious family?

A completely gripping thriller from bestselling author Kathryn Croft that will leave you breathless as you listen. Fans of Lisa Jewell, K.L. Slater and Freida McFadden will be captivated by The Girl in Room 12.

Croft precisely matched with Frederick

I enjoyed this complexellent British psychological thriller. Yes, I thought the plot did slow down for a bit, however, it did not deter me from finishing (listen intently as not to miss anything. I am familiar with author Kathryn Croft and as expected, she wrote a uniquely intricate whodunnit with a favorite narrator of mine, Naomi Frederick. There is an anbundant amount of subplots, twisty turns, surprises and bizarre characters. Just when I thought I had the ending figured out {{{jaw, meet the floor}}}. I did have to go back a chapter or three… I do not rely on reviews when choosing an audiobook. I don’t understand those scathing reviews. Perhaps such a choice was not the best choice for someone. “Each to their own.” After eight years as an Audible member, I’ve had my fair share of disappointments and a vast collection of🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 winners as well as those from the Audible Plus catalogue.
