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 fabulous page-turner

Brilliant, very clever… I absolutely recommend it (B. A. Paris)

Just when you think you know exactly who did what, there is a twist to beat all twists

One of the best thrillers I have ever read (Angela Marsons)

A gripping thriller that will make you question everything you thought you knew about marriage

Awesome Plot

I loved this book, great twists, well developed characters. Unpredictable plot and nice wrap up of all the characters. Starting my 3rd book by L. K. Slater

Solid

This wasn’t necessarily at the top of my list, but I will listen to anything by KL Slater. It was decent entertainment as always, and the narrator was great.

The lisp was a nightmare

Ok. How do you read books professionally with an intermittent lisp?? I forced myself to get past that issue because the story was at least interesting. Until the end. The wrap up was just so boring I find myself not really caring at all about who did what and why.

Great storyline.

I liked everything about it. I couldn't stop listening to it. I enjoyed how easy it was to follow along with the past and present storylines.

Coming together

Interesting how the author manages to pull events all together in a neatly written package. From the beginning it keeps you wondering what happened. Her characters are complex. It’s a suspenseful thriller with humanity that forgives the most serious betrayals. Slater has become one of my favorite authors. She leaves no loose ends.
