Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

THE MESSAGE HAS DISAPPEARED.
SO HAS YOUR BEST FRIEND . . .


Get ready for the most unputdownable thriller of 2024, from no.1 bestselling author K. L. Slater
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

As Saffy struggles to understand what is happening the phone screen changes:
This message was deleted.
Saffy races to Leona’s house, but when her friend answers the door, she insists everything's fine. She doesn't know anything about the message. Saffy can tell something’s not right, but after looking around the house, she can’t think of anything else she can do.
Six hours later, Saffy gets a knock on the door. It's the police. Leona is missing, with her young child. There's blood everywhere.
And Saffy was the last one to see them alive . . .


'A triumph of clever plotting and sharp writing. A compelling thriller, masterfully executed' Rachel Abbott

it was a good story, a page turner, if I was reading it; but the reader's speech impediment is off putting, she can't pronounce lateral 's' sounds, at first I thought it was a character's speech pattern, but then the impediment was in all dialogue. Narrator has a less obvious Chris Eubanks type speech impediment when speaking! but it was a good story.

K.L. Slater's books get better each time

I loved it. I have been waiting for this title to be published for a while and I am not disappointed. I really really enjoyed it. ☺️

Post production has given her a lisp

The producer has been heavy handed with the de-esser and given the performer a lisp. I expect better form Penguin so I'll have to listen more carefully to the previews in future.

As for the story, it started very well but fizzled out and I didn't feel there was much of a climax. Fairly disappointed to be honest.

Another cracker if a tale by K.L. Slater

Such believable characters, a faultless script sweeps you into the drama with twists and turns you do not foresee. I love this author and highly recommend.

Another brilliant psychological thriller from K L Slaughter

I was absolutely hooked from the start. K L Slater has such an amazing talent for drawing you into her stories completely, and Message Deleted is no exception. A must read/listen!
Excellent narrator too.

Compelling yet predictable

Quite an unoriginal listen. But it was a compelling listen and charming in parts . It’s all about the plot rather than any sort of character development
