Edge of your seat thriller which had me guessing to the end, consumed this book within 24 hours!!!
Eve is a narrator of books, but recently the breakdown of her marriage and her main author’s disappearance meant a move back home to her mum’s along with her daughter Scarlet. Famous author Philippa Roberts’s disappearance is still a mystery ten months later, when a new manuscript is ‘found’.
Clever twists and turns take you on a rollercoaster of a ride. This tale will make you gasp and exclaim with frustration and second guessing….. this is brilliant and really enjoyed reading it!!! Really interesting to learn so much about the book world from agents to publishers and the narrators that make the stories come alive. Will be looking to read a few more from KL Slater!
Thank you to NetGalley for the early read much appreciated!

I love this authors books but this one wasn’t one of my favourites. I found it a bit slow for the half but persevered and the second half was really good and I didn’t expect the ending . I will still recommend this book to my audience as I’m sure lots of people will enjoy it . Only 4 stars from me this time

What a fascinating novel! I loved the switches in times and POVs. They added to the overall story instead of detracting from it. I thought the story was well written and I thought the big twist was very surprising. Overall, a very enjoyable thriller.

Thank you to Netgalley and Bookouture for a copy of this book.

Best selling author, Phillipa Roberts disappeared eight months ago. Her leaving her wife and step-son are left reeling over the disappearance.

When a secret manuscript for the next Phillipa Roberts' book is found in Phillipa's attic, our protagonist, Eve is called once again to narrate the audiobook.

When Eve reads the manuscript something about it feels off to her. Does it contain the key to the mystery of Phillipa's disappearance?

This is yet again a fantastic thriller by Slater that keeps you guessing until the very end.

Another gripping and fantastic book from K.L. Slater! I absolutely loved every minute reading it.
Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for the opportunity to read this ARC.

The plot was a bit far fetched but I couldn't put it down. KL Slater is very reliable that way, putting out one page turner after another. My full review appears on Weekend Notes.

Another thrilling novel from K.L. Slater, with some twists you’ll never see coming! Eve, a voice artist, is asked to record the audiobook for the newly-discovered book left behind by popular author Philippa Roberts, who disappeared the year before.

As Eve takes on this new job, strange occurrences start to happen around her, and the original manuscript may just contain clues to Philippa’s disappearance. But is this new undertaking putting Eve and her daughter, Scarlet, at risk? Eve immersed herself in the discovery of the truth, but at what price?

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for the ARC.

When reading this, just know that all you think you know is deceiving! This was a whirlwind of a story. Loved the twists!

The Narrator is a psychological/domestic thriller by best-selling author, KL Slater. I have read a few of the authors books before and she doesn’t disappoint. This book is no exception. We are treated to an intriguing mystery, complex characters and an explosive ending to top it off. I alternated between reading the e-book and listening to the audio and both were exceptional. If you are looking for fast-paced thrilling mystery then this one is worth picking up.
The story follows Eve, who has worked in the past as a narrator for best-selling author, Phillipa Roberts. Since Phillipa’s disappearance, Eve has been struggling for work and navigating a difficult relationship with her ex-partner and father of their young child. When an unpublished manuscript of Phillipa’s turns up, Eve is once again called in to narrate the audiobook. But the story concerns Eve who sets out to find out what really happened to Phillipa, only to discover the truth might end up being more than she expected.
KL Slater is an excellent storytelling and well worth a read if you are a fan of this genre. Thank you to the author, publisher and Netgalley for an opportunity to read and review this book.

I love love love K.L. Slater! This book was so good. I love when a story has you guessing throughout, and this book had an ending that I wasn’t expecting at all!! 4/5 stars.

Being a single mother is hard
My little Scarlet is my world
I hated to leave her with my ex with his new girlfriend
It was brilliant
I had an ARC

As a massive KL Slater fan I was thrilled to be able to preview The Narrator. I was not disappointed! The story has you hooked from the first chapter and keeps you hooked throughout, twisting and turning right to the stunning finale! I did not see that ending coming wow and I was a bit gutted the book was over. It’s thrilling, it’s full of suspense and I bloody loved it! Highly recommended and will be an absolute hit , keep them coming please I already cannot wait for the next thriller from a very talented mind..

Did Philippa, who has gone missing, really write the book Eve has been hired to narrate? Eve's done all of Philippa's books and something seems off about this one, Eve has a lot of things going on in her own life- a death in the family, her ex Hugo, her little daughter Scarlett but she's still looking for answers in this twisty novel, No spoilers from me, Thanks to netgalley for the Arc, A good read.

This book started off really slow, but I know this author doesn’t normally write slow burns, so I kept going. Sure enough, it started to speed up as it went along. Unfortunately, it never completely grabbed me and pulled me in, but this was still a good story.

Philippa Roberts is a best-selling author, with a detective series of nine books that is quite popular. She has a lovely wife and success most people only dream of. Eve is the woman who narrates Philippa’s books into audio recordings. She’s a divorced single mother, always on the struggle - with her career, and with her ex-husband, Hugo.

These are our two main characters, though there are several others. When Philippa goes missing, the world turns upside down for many people, and as you read along, many things start to become suspicious. That’s about all that can be said, plot-wise.

Speaking of the plot, I thought it was decent. I figured out some of the ending pretty early on, but it was pretty multi-layered, so I was still surprised by a couple things. Overall, this book was good, but nothing that shocked me or excited me. I’m giving it 3.5 stars; I wish we could actually do that instead of trying to decide to round up or down, because in this case, I had to round down. This was good but nothing that blew my mind.

(Thank you to Bookouture, K.L. Slater, and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my review. This book is slated to be released on January 6, 2023.)

Good solid thriller, kept me reading as was intrigued to find out the whole story. Some well written characters here.

The Narrator by K.L. Slater
I was hooked from beginning to end. It was a thriller with lots of twists and turns that keep you guessing till the very end. I swear this author’s work just keep getting better and better. I would definitely recommend.

I never fail to be impressed withKim’s books and this is another corker! I’m only sad I have finished it! She writes beautifully, and captures people so well, flaws and all! I hope she never stops writing!

The Narrator was a whirlwind of a story. Just when I thought I had it all figured out, there would be a twist that would catch me by surprise. Eve’s character is super relatable, especially to those who have gone through a divorce and are dealing with coparenting. I enjoyed the narration of each character and the author’s style of storytelling.

The reason I give this book 4/5 stars is for the ending. While it was a huge twist, it didn’t feel realistic. The ending answered all the questions but it’s always nice to have a bit left unknown. I look forward to checking out novels by K.L. Slater.

A fast paced read with a surprising twist at the end! I enjoyed reading this book, although after the twist was revealed I felt the ending was rushed.

You have a job you love, a man you love and a gorgeous daughter. You are on top of the world, but then life happens. Everything collapses like a house of cards and you are forced to move backwards in stead of forwards. The world seems like a black space, but you have your daughter to take care of and little by little you fight your way back.

A phone call give you new perspectives and although you have to go to London, you know your daughter is in good hands. But someone thinks they know better and decides they know better than you do.

You thought you knew the people around you, but in the end it seems like they had a lot to hide. Even though they thought they could get away with it, justice wins again.  

Oh my. I guess there are characters you love and some you hate in every book. Sometimes those you love are the good ones, sometimes though they seem to be masters in deceit. 

Authors manage to lead the readers where they want them to go and sometimes you really are flabbergasted when you know every single detail. I just love it. 

Maybe this story was a bit slow paced, but it did give me a lot of reading pleasure. 4 stars 

Thank you
