Publisher's Summary
The gripping new Audible Original from queen of suspense K. L. Slater.
When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers.
My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well.
So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia.
But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare.
There’s something hidden in the pages of this book, I’m sure of it. Some clue to Philippa’s disappearance. And I don’t feel safe. I’m being watched. My room has been searched. Saskia has been calling me in tears. If I don’t find answers fast I’ll lose more than my second chance.
I’ll lose my daughter.
A breath-taking new thriller from the number one author of The Marriage and The Widow. If you like Gone Girl, The Girl on The Train and The Wife Between Us then you will love The Narrator.

Story
The doorbell rings, just days after my beloved husband’s sudden death. I don’t recognise the woman on our doorstep, with her blonde highlights, a diamond bracelet identical to my own and a bouncing baby boy in her arms. As I show her inside, I notice her eyes grow wide as she takes in our spacious hallway, and the big squashy sofas that we all used to pile on. She glances at the silver-framed family photos and my little daughter hiding behind my skirts. She looks at me, her blue eyes serious. ‘I’m sorry’ she says. ‘I am your husband’s girlfriend. And this is his son.'

It all started with a simple, yet sneakily difficult challenge from global best-selling author Harlan Coben: Pick a bird of prey, then use it as the inspiration for a brand-new story. The response from some of the best writers on the planet: Game on! The result: Eleven stories that are twisty, scary, surprising and bursting with imagination. An egg worth more than its weight in gold. A mysterious operative known only as Owl. An eagle-watcher who sees more than she should. Even a story that somehow places the Maltese Falcon in a nursing home.

It’s hard meeting your ex after so much time apart. You remember the tears and accusations, the desperate look on his face as he punched the wall, but you try not to show it. You smile politely, even while your heart beats faster. You watch as he looks down into the stroller, at the beautiful blond-haired, blue-eyed baby kicking his little legs in the sunshine, whose innocent smile lights up your world. You see his face change. You know what he’s thinking. The next day he calls. His voice is shaking. He wants the truth. Is it his child?

A fast read
Because of the entertainment level, I rated it a generous 3 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was my 11th book by this author and once again I’m impressed (sarcasm) by her choices of twists and conclusion.
The premises were interesting enough to get my attention, but the delivery was not what was promised in the blurb.
Although entertaining (hats off to that!), there are lots of absurdity.
That conclusion was really a stretch (if not infuriating), but it seems that lots of readers loved it.
This another fast read.
There are 65 chapters in a book of 304 pages (paperback).
The author does have great ideas, but she writes too fast (so it seems), and the book becomes heartless with flat characters.

Please change the ending!
I loved the book right until the end! I would be so happy if she rewrote the ending, it was abrupt and really didn’t make that much sense. The writing is excellent and the narration is super but the last 15 minutes were such a let down that I was actually upset. There was just no rational for what happened, no real motive. I’m sorry to say this as I know how much work it takes to write a book but I don’t understand why the editor didn’t call for an adjusted ending.
