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

Ok. How do you read books professionally with an intermittent lisp?? I forced myself to get past that issue because the story was at least interesting. Until the end. The wrap up was just so boring I find myself not really caring at all about who did what and why.

The lisp was a nightmare

British delight! When I discovered K.L. Slater’s “Message Deleted,” narrated by Annabel Schobel, on Audible, I couldn't wait. I promptly put my previous listen on hold. Slater never disappoints, and "Message Deleted" is no exception. Her creative brilliance interweaves a complexellent web of twists and turns, keeping me hooked and guessing until the very end. Schobel’s narrative talents bring this ensemble cast to vivid life. I was thoroughly engaged throughout and thrilled with the depth and emotion. The plot centers around Saffy, who receives a cryptic text message from her best friend, Leona, only to have it deleted moments later. She becomes involved in a mystery surrounding Leona’s disappearance, her daughter and oh, so much more. Who can be trusted? Multifaceted with suspenseful surprises and shockers around every corner, I found myself intently listening with full attention to every detail. Get this one now. I’m thrilled I did. So highly recommended, I want to scream from the rooftop, “Epic, I say! EPIC! EPIC! EPIC!”

The plot held my attention through the twist and turns. The reader did a good job delineating the voices of the different characters. However, she had an annoying habit of dropping the last vowel of some words making it hard to understand: police would become “poli”, face would become “fa”, princess became “prin”, etc

Good story

The story was good but the lisp kept making me have to double take. Didn’t waste a credit but that was a major buzzkill.

The lisp…

Interesting how the author manages to pull events all together in a neatly written package. From the beginning it keeps you wondering what happened. Her characters are complex. It’s a suspenseful thriller with humanity that forgives the most serious betrayals. Slater has become one of my favorite authors. She leaves no loose ends.

Coming together

Overall, decent story, and I couldn’t stop listening. A bit far fetched, but still quite enjoyable. Kept me guessing and wanting more.
The narrator…..she has this intermittent lisp that I found very obnoxious and distracting. Mostly, when a word ended in the letter “S”, she would pronounce it as a soft “th”. I know a person can’t help their speech impediment or whatever, but when your job is reading aloud, I think it should be considered.

The narrator 🥴

I listened to this book without reading the reviews. As soon as I heard the narrator, I had to come look and see if it was noted. Lesson learned, I see several comments. I have no idea who let this person record audio books with this lisp. Once you hear it, it’s all you can hear.
