Publisher's summary

The gripping new Audible Original from queen of suspense K. L. Slater.

When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers.

My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well.

So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia.

But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare.

There’s something hidden in the pages of this book, I’m sure of it. Some clue to Philippa’s disappearance. And I don’t feel safe. I’m being watched. My room has been searched. Saskia has been calling me in tears. If I don’t find answers fast I’ll lose more than my second chance.

I’ll lose my daughter.

A breath-taking new thriller from the number one author of The Marriage and The Widow. If you like Gone Girl, The Girl on The Train and The Wife Between Us then you will love The Narrator.

My favorite of this author's so far!

I've read just about all of KL Slater's and I adore them on my long commute. This is my go-to genre and she never disappoints. This one was so twisty there were a couple of moments when I gasped out loud. Excellent narration helps with the characterization.

Nice easy Listen

I prefer Lucy Price to narrate K.L. Books. This was an okay story. It did have a plot twist but was not my favorite. It was easy to listen to while being busy. It did not require a lot of things to remember.

Meh

Up and down volume, the speed of the narrators was way off. I had to keep changing my setting.

British mystery

I really liked the story and I thought the narrator did a great job with different British voices. The details of the story were done quite well and I thought the plot moved along at a nice pace.

Nice twist

Well, this book takes you down a fun rabbit hole. Sometimes the back-and-forth with the timeline of events was hard to follow sometimes but was easily ignored as the listener got engrossed in the juicy details of what was happening, regardless of when the event fit in the actual timeline of the story. Found myself annoyed at the heroine’s persistent naivety until realizing that most of us regular folk would probably be as trusting as she is portrayed to be. Good job, all involved. Superb narrating!
