K.L. Slater weaves a masterful tale that had me hooked from the very start. She's quickly rising to the top of my list of favorite authors. The audiobook was utterly captivating. I couldn't bring myself to stop listening! Every twist kept me on edge, guessing till the very end. An absolutely brilliant experience!

Pretty good. 

Saffy has had a difficult few years. Her younger sister was attacked, she had a mental breakdown, her marriage collapsed and her husband had sole custody of their son.
She was finally beginning to get her life back together, counselling, days with her son, and now whilst waiting for a job interview,she receives three text messages from her best friend Leona, 'Can’t speak . . . don’t text or call . . . please just come.'
As quick as she can read the messages, they are gone. Replaced with 'Message Deleted'

Her life quickly begins to unravel, as her friend and her family disappear, she's thrown into the spotlight. We find out the history of her sisters attack, hers and Leona's friendship and their chequered history.

The story takes many twists and turns, just when you think you've got this mystery worked out, there's another revelation taking you off on another tangent.

This was an enjoyable and entertaining read, Saffy could be infuriating at times but it did feel quite fitting with her character.

Thank you to KL Slater and the publishers, Michael Joseph Penguin Random House for providing an advanced review copy for my honest feedback.

Definite 4 1/2 stars. Really enjoyed this one. But you can never go wrong with KL Slater, haven’t read one of hers yet that I didn’t like.  Working my way through the backlist.

De eerste helft vond ik minder, maar het einde was wel erg spannend
