He'll make sure she never wants to leave....

Holly never thought she'd move back to her hometown, but then something terrible happened. She doesn't know if she can recover. But she knows she can never tell another soul.

People say her neighbour, David, is 'different'. He doesn't go out much, and never after dark. But in David, Holly finds just what she needs: a friend. Someone who's always there.

No-one knows Holly's secret or where she lives. She has left the past behind. She is sure of it. So why does she feel as though she's in terrible danger?

Another good read by K L Slater.
And as ever, the surprise (in this case surprises) ending. Just when you think you’ve got it figured out……..!

Good as ever

This story had me intrigued the whole time. I especially like the narrator Lucy Price-Lewis.
I did not imagine that the ending would have such a twist.
Excellent.

LOVED IT !

The climax is brilliant. It’s one of those rare books where the victims are not quite what they seem. On one hand, they are definitely victims of horrible crimes, but their own tales are also very complex. The narrator did a fabulous job.

Great thriller

Holly and David. David and Holly. Traumatized, Insecure David and Traumatized, Embittered Holly.
K.L. Slater provides a gripping "what the hell is going on" narrative about two damaged people with not-what-it-seems backgrounds and disturbing inner thoughts. Slater masterfully uses drip-drip-drip revelations in separate timelines - and interest-piquing foreshadowing - to keep her readers/listeners captivated.
Unfortunately, the majority of the novel deals with mundane (+/- inane) day-to-day circumstances in the lives of David & Holly - at home and at work. In addition, the payoff for all of the brilliant buildup is predictable and melodramatic. Readers are forgiven for saying out loud: "That's it?!? That soap opera plot is what they were freaked out about?!?".

Happily, Audible Studios enlisted a genuinely brilliant reader to read the book: Lucy Price-Lewis has quickly become a favorite narrator - exhibiting unparalleled diction, timbre, cadence, and pacing.. and spot-on tone and voice-acting. Her performance elevates the book considerably.

I am a fan of Slater.. savouring her interesting character exposition and enjoying her plausible twists. Hence, I'm a little bit disappointed with this 7/10 star effort. 'The Visitor' is one of the author's weakest.
If you can get it as a 'Plus' selection, by all means do so (the suspense aspects are excellent).. but spend your Credit on one of Slater's other offerings if Audible asks for one.

Letdown Conclusion

I enjoyed this book as I do most K.L.Slater books. It ended a little too suddenly for me and I had lots of unanswered questions. Otherwise, definitely worth listening to.

Pretty good!
