The Missing Boyfriend

I’ll admit, I’m a sucker for a premise that punches you in the face before the first chapter ends, and *The Missing Boyfriend* delivers that hard. From the very first chapter, you’re locked into Olivia’s paranoia, and Andrews’ narration sells it. She doesn’t overact—her voice is steady, almost clinical at first, which makes the moments when Olivia cracks all the more devastating. The production is crisp, with subtle sound design that underscores the eerie gaps in Olivia’s memory (like the hollow echo of an empty flat). My only gripe? The middle act drags slightly as Olivia’s investigation unfolds in a way that feels more procedural than thrilling. Still, the payoff is worth it when the story veers into outright horror territory. What makes this audiobook stand out is its refusal to give easy answers. The mystery isn’t just *who* took Callum—it’s *what* he was hiding, and whether Olivia’s love for him is built on a foundation of lies. The audiobook’s pacing mirrors that uncertainty: it’s methodical, almost suffocating, until the final act, where it explodes into something unhinged. Andrews’ performance shines brightest in the quieter moments, where Olivia’s voice cracks under the weight of her own doubts. If you love thrillers that mess with your head long after the credits roll, this one’s a must-listen.
