The Evidence

By: K.L. Slater

Narrated by: Clare Corbett, Rachel Atkins, Yasmin Mwanza, David Holt

When a killer’s podcast reveals more than the truth....

Esme is a start-up success who runs her own successful media company and heads up a series of investigative podcasts. She also has a beautiful home, where she lives with her sister, Michelle, and her son, Zachary. Sure, there’s an ex-husband hanging around - Owen likes to pop round a bit too often - but everything is civilised and amicable. She has life all tied up.

But Esme knows that any successful podcaster is only as good as her last story, so she sets out on a new series of interviews to get to the truth behind Simone Fischer’s high-profile murder of her husband. Self-defence, crime of passion or coldly pre-meditated?

She emerges after one jail visit to discover that her sister has been viciously attacked and is in a coma. And so begins the unravelling of Esme’s life. Where she thought there was trust and loyalty, she slowly discovers deceit and betrayal. No one is quite who they seem - not even her closest family.

As the podcast interviews plunge deeper into revealing the unnerving psychology of a murderer, Esme must try to keep her own sanity intact. The truth - about Simone and Esme’s own family - is there, if Esme can only find it. But will her investigations reveal more than she ever wanted to know?

This taut psychological thriller is perfect for fans of Serial and Kathleen Barber’s Truth Be Told.

Twists and turns

As usual the author offers us many possibilities of who the bad guy is. The story gets convoluted and sometimes we forget what the main story is with all the side events. I am always entertained by K L Slater’s books but I am not fond of how the main character always seems to be on the brink of a mental breakdown. This time the main character is stronger and realizes she is being duped, recovers more quickly and is less flighty. I like her.

Shades of grey

Good story and well narrated. A story about how life is not black and white but has plenty of grey which makes life’s choices more difficult.

Another HIT by K.L. Slater.

This is very different than any other K.L.Slater audio books, I have listened to all but one. I have enjoyed all for the books and thus is no exception! Don’t let the Audible sample through you off as it did me, the narration was excellent!!!! Great Listen!!
