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 binger!

This is what I call a binger, keeps you up all night cause you can't put it down.

Interesting plot line that bends and weves and keeps the old noggin working all the way to the end. Even if you think you know who done what, you have to find out just how that who dunnit.

I have only 1 low star rating and thats unfortunately due to the second narrator. What were you thinking? Its an awful match, made even more excruciating by the main narrator who is spot on. The mind boggles at where the selection process went with this one.

That aside, great story, keeps your interest xx

Decent enough story and Clare Corbett fantastic

Okay story, twisty and bingeable enough. Great work by Clare Corbett as always. But what on earth is with the second female narrator. It’s like like listening to Meryl Streep working with a random am dram group lead. So embarrassing. She can barely get each word out. Ruins it.

Awful narrator for Justine

Another great story by K L Slater but the character of Justine is narrated so poorly it's offputting.

Awful second narrator

I enjoyed this book but at the point where the second narrator had a large part, I switched off, cannot listen to another second! It’s like she can’t read! And totally out of character with weird accents finding their way into sentences, such a shame as main narrator is fab!

Good story

Good story with excellent narration by Clare Corbett (who sounds like there’s a whole cast of characters in the room) and the lady voicing Simone. As for the other female narrator, she sounded like a silly voice from Monty Python or the Goons. What an extraordinary choice.

Great story. Shame about the narration.

This was a really great story. I couldn’t turn it off. The second female narrator is SO jarring though. I nearly had to turn it off and skip her bits! Such a shame, but luckily the main bulk of the narration was fantastic.

Brilliant story - disappointing 2nd narrator

A great story - and a very good first narrator. For some reason the second narrator "Justine" is laboured and has style more suited for children's storytelling. I did find on these shorter passages speeding up the narration to 1.1 x much improved it! Maybe the problem is with the production/ editing. A shame as the narrator has very clear diction.

Couldn’t put down.

Only book by this author I’ve been able to guess the ending, but that’s because it’s true to life, so any other wouldn’t have made sense.
Still, not disappointed as many twists and turns throughout the book, making me curse aloud at the character’s revelations. Would highly recommend as with all KL Slater books. Can’t wait for the next.
