The Narrator

When the call came it seemed like the answer to my prayers My career as a voice actor had been over for months and me and my little girl Scarlet were living back at my mum’s place. I felt like a failure professionally—and with Scarlet having problems at school, as a parent as well. So, when I was asked to narrate a new book by disappeared novelist Philippa Roberts I jumped at the chance, even if it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex, Hugo, for a few weeks. Hugo, with his perfect new home and his perfect new girlfriend Saskia. But this isn’t a dream come true. It’s a nightmare. There’s something hidden in the pages of this book, I’m sure of it. Some clue to Philippa’s disappearance. And I don’t feel safe. I’m being watched. My room has been searched. Saskia has been calling me in tears. If I don’t find answers fast I’ll lose more than my second chance. I’ll lose my daughter...M.F What if the chance of a perfect life put your daughter in grave danger? Being a single mother is tough, but Id do anything for my little girl Scarlet. Id given up on my career as a voice actor when the call came, but suddenly I was the new narrator for a secret book from bestselling author Philippa Roberts, who has been missing for eight months. It was a lifeline for me and my daughter. I hated that it meant leaving Scarlet with my ex in his perfect new home with his perfect new girlfriend. But I knew it was the right thing to do. But as I start reading Philippas new novel, I start to wonder if its no coincidence that Ive been chosen to narrate it. Theres something hidden in the pages of this book, Im sure of it. Some clue to Philippas disappearance. And I dont feel safe. I think Im being watched. My room has been searched. And then my exs girlfriend calls in tears and everything starts to click together. If I dont find answers fast, Ill lose more than my second chance. Ill lose my daughter.
