Complex thriller with many twists and turns. A diverse bunch of characters with various reasons for their behaviour. A good,keep you guessing read.

Saffy was about to go in for a job interview when she received a message from her best friend 'don't call, come." The message was deleted but Saffy took no chances. Everything was fine until saffy best friend and her family go missing.
Why?

I really enjoyed this book. I couldn't put it down. The twists were very good and not expected. I did feel a lot for Saffy though she went through a lot and Mt heart went out to her.

Saffy and leona have been friends for years and saffy is godmother to leonas daughter.
When saffy gets a message from leona which is quickly deleted saffy races round to see her.

When leona later goes missing saffy is person of interest as the last person to see her.

What happened to leona and her daughter?

I loved this book and kept reading to find out where Leona went

Thanks to net galley and the publishers for this arc

K.L Slater has done it again with another fantastic psychological thriller. Be warned, once you start this book, you won’t be able to put it down. It’s well written, fast paced and has plenty of twists throughout.
I loved it and will recommend to all.

Saffy’s outlook on life has been overshadowed by traumatic events in her past. Her ex-husband now has full custody of their toddler son whilst the younger sister she has brought up is happy living in student digs instead of with her. Even her best friend Leona doesn’t really spend much time with her now that she is married with a daughter. But when Leona sends her three texts in quick succession, asking Saffy to go to her house, then deletes them just as quickly leaving Saffy without a choice but to get to Leona. But Leona is fine, her house looks great and even her obnoxious husband seems chatty. Leona denies any knowledge of the messages so Saffy goes home, only to hear later that Leona and her family are missing without a trace. There’s blood in the house, a blaring smoke alarm and a front door left open. And Saffy was the last person there. The last one to see them. The prime suspect.

I really enjoy books by this author and find myself saying, I’ll just read one more chapter…..always dangerous! A great read that kept me guessing.

Thank you NetGalley for allowing me to read and review.

Couldn’t put this book down! Kept me guessing the whole way through! KL Slater never fails in her books to keep you engaged!

Oh what a book!! Perfectly written. So many twists and turns, relatable people with relatable responses so it's so easy to empathise and become totally invested in the outcome. I flew through it in a day and loved every second. This book does not go the way you think it's gonna go

Yet again an amazing thrilling read from this author. Kept me hooked so many twists and turns. Enjoyed it from the Frist chapter til the last page

I absolutely love K.L Slater and was ridiculously excited to get her new book. Wow I loved this book. I was totally engrossed. What a read.

I found it a quick read and it kept my attention from the first to the last page

Thank you Netgalley and Michael Joseph for the opportunity to review.

K.L Slater always manages to keep me guessing and this book was no different, I felt like I was on tenterhooks throughout.

You really can't put down K.L. Slater's books and this one was absolutely no exception. Love it!
Thanks to NetGalley, the editor and the author for the opportunity to access this advanced copy.

Saffy's best friend Leona is like a sister to her; they've grown up together in tricky backgrounds, supported each other and always relied on one another. Saffy isn't a fan of Leona's husband - she thinks he's a violent overbearing bully who is ruining Leona's life. So when she gets three phone messages in a row saying, come quickly, I need you - she drops everything and runs. Leona doesn't know what Saffy is talking about, she hasn't sent the messages - but Saffy is still suspicious of the husband, vowing to keep an eye out for her friend. When Leona and her family go missing, the police come looking for Saffy....

I'm afraid I didn't love this as much as I wanted to - I didnt warm to any of the characters and found the final part of the story's resolution too far fetched even for me. However the story is entertaining and kept me guessing until the end.

Once again K.L Slater is on form. Saffy is struggling. She's divorced from her husband and has lost custody of her son Fox. Whilst waiting for an interview she receives a text from her friend Leona. The message tells her to come quick. She's needed.. Then as quick as it arrived the message is deleted. On rushing to Leona's house she finds the family well. Why did she get those messages. Leona says she never sent them.
Then Leona , her husband and daughter disappear. Saffy was the last person to see them alive. The police are pointing fingers. Saffy sensed something wasn't right but with all the blood at the scene someone has to be dead.
The author has developed characters that aren't particularly likeable until their stories begin to unfold. Once i started this book I didn't put it down till i reached its conclusion.

A fabulous read from this brilliant author.
Well written characters, some more dislikeable than others.
Great storyline which had some real heart racing moments especially the end.
I also liked the catch up with how everyone was in the final chapters.
My thanks to netgalley and the publisher for my copy.

Saffy, while waiting to go in to an interview, receives 3 messages from her best friend Leona. "Dont text...don't call...please just come". The messages are swiftly replaced by "This message was deleted. Saffy rushes out of her interview convinced her best friend is in danger.

She arrives at her house to find Leona acting normally, saying she didn't send the messages, but something doesn't sit right with Saffy. Six hours later Saffy gets a knock at her door, Leona and her family have gone missing and Saffy was the last person to see them.

This was a twisty thriller that I really enjoyed reading. I liked that it had various points of view from different characters as they told the story. As a fan of K.L. Slater this book definitely didn't disappoint.

My only criticism would be that I guessed one of the twists fairly early in the book, but it didn't change my enjoyment at all.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This was such a page turner! I devoured this book in a day. I loved the alternate narratives and the relationships between the characters were really well explored. The plot kept me guessing and there were plenty of twists along the way. A really good thriller! Would definitely recommend!

Lots of twists and turns. Great plotting and kept me reading later at night than I should
.sinister, thrilling. Never knew what was coming next.

A great premise, and I loved the hook and early chapters. After that it was a little slow and clunky, kept me intrigued, but feels like it hadn't quite figured itself out.

Saffy is waiting to go into a job interview when she receives a text message from her best friend, Leona:

Can’t speak… don’t text or call… please just come.

I really wanted to love this book but I struggled with it, it was slow burn of a book

When Saffy receives a WhatsApp message from her bestfriend Leona asking Saffy to come quickly, Saffy drops everything and races round to her best friends home, when she gets there she is greeted with a stilted scene of domestic happiness. Saffy knows all is not well in her friends marriage and with her husband there she feels Leona cannot say what she really wants to and denies sending the message to Saffy. Soon after this event, Leona goes missing.....
