Message Deleted starts with a fresh and intriguing premise that promises a gripping psychological thriller. Unfortunately, while the concept had real potential, the execution doesn’t quite deliver.
The story begins strong but quickly loses momentum. The plot feels bloated and overly drawn out, with repetitive scenes that drag rather than build suspense. What should have been a tense, fast-paced read becomes a slog, with the mystery slowly fizzling out instead of intensifying.
The police investigation is particularly frustrating. The handling of the case feels unrealistic and riddled with holes—law enforcement comes across as oddly incompetent and lacking in credibility. Even for fiction, the procedural elements feel underdeveloped and unconvincing.
I pushed through and finished the book hoping for a strong payoff, but the ending was both underwhelming and rushed. It lacked the punch or twist you’d expect after such a buildup, leaving the conclusion feeling flat and unsatisfying.
Overall, Message Deleted is an okay read, but it misses the mark in terms of tension and payoff. A promising idea that just doesn’t live up to its potential.

I couldn't put this book down after the first couple of chapters. After receiving 3 frantic messages that are immediately deleted Saffy goes to visit her best friend and her day goes downhill from there.
After her best friend, her husband and daughter disappear later that day and Saffy becomes suspect number 1.
This story has a lot going on, with multiple timelines and points of view and various plot points that are threaded throughout the story.
I enjoyed the twists and turns we followed in this book and although I guessed some of what was going on the conclusion was satisfying.
