Summary

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.

A nice twist and a great story.

The first book I've read by KL Slater, and it won't be the last. Nice story and a great listen.

Brilliant

Such a refreshing story line. So different to the usual kind of suspense. Loved every minute. Couldn’t stop listening.

Not as good as previous books.

Have enjoyed previous titles by K L Slater but this was a bit of a disappointment.story was average but never really got any empathy with the main character and the podcast business seemed a little overblown.
However main issue is with the second narrator. Sounded like a young child reading from a book they had never read before. Wondered if this would be a plot device but no, just continued staccato style. Deserved better.

Good story but narration unnatural

I liked the story, the usual twists and turns but the narration of the character Justine was stilted and unnatural, almost put me off continuing with the book. Her voice was fine but the way the words were read just seemed awkward and almost over pronounced.

Brilliant.

Well worth listening too. I was unable to put this book down and ended up listening to it in one go. I think I have found another favourite author as her story flows, and the characters are believable. Narration was really good too, especially the main characters narrator.

Interesting premises

Good characters and plot, and interwoven well. Each character was well defined and identifiable. Well performed. I had guessed one thing about half way through though.

Enjoyed it, but a little empty - didn't keep me riveted thoughtout, some strong chapters towards the end.
