About this listen
I know my daughter better than I know myself, and if there’s one thing I know for sure at this moment it's that Maisie is not okay.
My ex-husband, Shaun, and I are still friends. We would do anything for our beautiful little girl, Maisie. But now Shaun has moved in with Joanne, and suddenly Maisie has a brand-new family. And there’s something not quite right about it....
I know Joanne isn’t everything she says she is. Yet no-one will listen. I need to discover what she’s hiding. Because if I don’t, my daughter will be in terrible danger.
The most gripping psychological thriller you’ll listen to this year from the Kindle top five best-selling author K. L. Slater. If you love The Girl on the Train or Gone Girl, you’ll be absolutely hooked.

George, with his twinkling hazel eyes, easy charm and lack of wedding band is almost too good to be true, but coffee becomes lunch, lunch becomes dinner, and soon they can’t go an evening without seeing each other.

Despite overall above-average reading from Lucy Price-Lewis, the narration quality is likewise unexpectedly subpar. Price-Lewis's diction, timbre, cadence, and pacing remain spot-on - and her voice-acting is impressive - but she sounds relatively disinterested on this project for some reason.
Taken in toto, 'Closer' is one of the weaker Slater offerings that I have encountered. The author's books are definitely worth the read.. but this 5.5/10-star audiobook is appropriately offered as a 'Plus' selection.
Your Credit would be better spent on another of this writer's novels.
