The Role Model: A shocking psychological thriller with several twists by Daniel Hurst (read aloud TXT) 📕

Whatever I decide on, I can’t waste my time.

I have one year of freedom left.

What would you do?

A Letter from the Author

Thank you for reading The Role Model. I hope you had as much fun delving into the lives of Heather and Chloe as I had creating them. As with some of my earlier books, I wrote this during the lockdown period in England and it gave me a great form of escapism from the realities of the world. I hope it has done the same for you.

Without readers like you, I wouldn’t be living my dream as a full-time author, so thank you for picking up this book and thank you for any review you may choose to leave for it afterwards. Reviews really are the most powerful way of getting attention for my books as they help bring in new readers. If you have enjoyed this book then I would be extremely grateful if you could spend a couple of minutes leaving an honest review on Amazon or Goodreads (it can be as short as you like).

Thank you and I hope you enjoy your next read.

Daniel
