About this listen

Winner of The Diverse Adult Book Award 2022

On an ordinary working day...

Leila Syed receives a call that cleaves her life in two. Her brother-in-law’s voice is filled with panic. His son’s nursery have called to ask where little Max is.

...your worst nightmare...

Leila was supposed to drop Max off that morning. But she forgot.

Racing to the carpark, she grasps the horror of what she has done....

...is about to come true....

What follows is an explosive high-profile trial that will tear the family apart. But as the case progresses, it becomes clear there’s more to this incident than meets the eye....

A gripping, brave and tense courtroom drama, Next of Kin will keep you on the edge of your seat until the final heart-stopping minute.

Critic reviews

"An enthralling, heartbreaking and thrilling courtroom drama that had me shouting out loud and gripped until the last page." (Nadine Matheson, author of The Jigsaw Man)

"Brilliantly tense, this is another clever page-turner from Kia Abdullah. A nightmare scenario evolves into an engrossing human drama that I couldn’t put down. Just superb." (Louise Hare, author of This Lovely City)

"A stunning courtroom drama, taut, tantalising, deftly paced, with a denouement that will leave you reeling." (Saga magazine)

"Abdullah’s legal thrillers make John Grisham seem like a maiden aunt." (Sunday Times Crime Club)

Great story

This seems like a simple story, tragic accident, court case looking for someone to blame. However the whole time you are aware something is coming and despite the many scenarios I had in my head, I did not see the twists and turns that gave me whiplash at the end. Highly recommended
