The Good Listener: An electrifying thriller about a mother who must trust an anonymous caller if she is to find the truth about her daughter


Overview

'INGENIOUS... PROPULSIVE' Sarah Vaughan 'TRULY ORIGINAL' Ellery Lloyd 'ELECTRIFYING' Fiona Cummins An anonymous call. A mother desperate for justice. The Good Listeners are there for anyone who needs to talk. When the phone rings, a Good Listener has no idea who could be at the other end. The woman cheating on her husband, the man who has lost yet another job, the teenager struggling at school... And Clara is prepared for every kind of caller. Except this one. Because the woman on the other end of the line has just told her ‘my husband killed a little girl.’ And two years ago, Clara’s own daughter was murdered and her killer never caught. The police have no leads. This is Clara's only chance of justice. But when the caller is anonymous, what chance does she have of finding them? A thriller with heart, a page-turner with depth, an unputdownable read: make Holly Watt's The Good Listener the next book you pre-order --- Readers give The Good Listener FIVE STARS: 'Read in one sitting ... I was glued to my seat' 'Smart, exciting, emotional, dark and everything you want to read in a book' 'I stayed up until nearly 2am to finish this book as it was impossible to put down' 'Edge-of-your-seat suspense from start to finish'

Reviews

It's so rare to read a truly original thriller plot, but this is one. Watt's plotting is so clever that this is a book that you immediately want to reread to collect all the clever clues and misdirections. The interactions between the two women are more than a game of cat and mouse - they're almost a dance. This is the perfect book club book -- there is so much to think about that you're left dying to talk to someone about it! -- Ellery Lloyd PRAISE FOR THE LAST TRUTHS WE TOLD: 'Seriously good. Ingenious plotting and the sort of writing that makes you pause and wish you'd penned that' -- Sarah Vaughan PRAISE FOR THE LAST TRUTHS WE TOLD: 'Absolute book-club dynamite. A must-read!' -- Ellery Lloyd PRAISE FOR THE LAST TRUTHS WE TOLD: 'Very well written and genuinely creepy ' * The Times *
