K.L Slater's "The Narrator" is well written, infused with twists and turns with a surprising ending. Props to the author for creating such an immersive world that reels you right from page one. Even if you take a break, returning to the suspenseful and haunting disappearance of Philippa Roberts, a renowned author, is effortless. Eve, her colleague and audiobook narrator, is coming to terms with loss, trauma and a relationship breakdown. When Philippa's tenth book is found, Eve is asked to narrate it. However, she cannot ignore the blatant discrepancies and inconsistencies. She takes it upon herself to connect the missing pieces. However, this comes at a price, one she never saw coming. The ending was shocking and jaw-dropping. I couldn't even predict it coming! However, there were moments when I thought it was too far-fetched. The characters are well fleshed out, enough for readers to support them or run for the hills. Overall, this is a delightful book, and I highly recommend it. 

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for giving me an ARC. This honest review is left voluntarily.
