The audio is narrated by Imogen Church, as are all the other Ruth Ware novels I’ve listened to. She is an amazing voice actor, giving each character a unique voice, accent and cadence.  I appreciate how she can voice the male characters in a way that pleasing to listen to (iykyk). Great story, but I did guess part of the twist. Quite a bit of cursing throughout unfortunately.
