This unputdownable psychological thriller by New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jewell follows a woman who finds herself the subject of her own popular true crime podcast.

Celebrating her forty-fifth birthday at her local pub, popular podcaster Alix Summer crosses paths with an unassuming woman called Josie Fair. Josie, it turns out, is also celebrating her forty-fifth birthday. They are, in fact, birthday twins.

A few days later, Alix and Josie bump into each other again, this time outside Alix’s children’s school. Josie has been listening to Alix’s podcasts and thinks she might be an interesting subject for her series. She is, she tells Alix, on the cusp of great changes in her life.

Josie’s life appears to be strange and complicated, and although Alix finds her unsettling, she can’t quite resist the temptation to keep making the podcast. Slowly she starts to realize that Josie has been hiding some very dark secrets, and before she knows it, Josie has inveigled her way into Alix’s life—and into her home.

But, as quickly as she arrived, Josie disappears. Only then does Alix discover that Josie has left a terrible and terrifying legacy in her wake, and that Alix has become the subject of her own true crime podcast, with her life and her family’s lives under mortal threat.

Who is Josie Fair? And what has she done?

Critic reviews

"This mystery opens with the chance meeting of two women. Alix is a successful podcaster, a seemingly happily married mother of two who is living a carefree life. Josie appears at first to be an awkward, sheltered woman with a disturbing past. As Josie makes her way into Alix’s life, her disturbing past takes on an entirely different angle. The performances of Nicola Walker, as Alix, and Louise Brealey, as Josie, are remarkable. They both embody their characters in a way that drives the story forward and makes the novel seem frighteningly believable. The other performances add even more drama as the plot twists and turns. All the narrators are top-notch, making this audiobook a riveting and cinematic listen."

OH MY GOSH!!! Just W🤩W

I have listened to well over 100 audiobooks and love psychological thrillers!! This was AMAZING…and I feel like listening to this one has got to be better than reading it!! The cast of voices, podcasts, interviews, music…it was like watching a show on tv! Fabulous story that kept me guessing and wondering -if indeed…None of this is True!!!

Jewell slays yet again

Lisa Jewell is my summer thriller boo. This book is hands down her best one. Ignore the comments that are about villainizing
young women who are victims of sexual predators. Not because it’s untrue, it’s just besides the point. No one in this book is safe. Embracing flawed characters and unreliable narrators are what makes Lisa Jewell books shine and stand out.

I needed more…

It took a while to get me interested and once it did, I was hooked. And then it ended lol I wish I could’ve gotten a little more on the back end but overall a great read.

Great listen!

This was so well done. I looked forward to my long commute each day just so I would get some time to make it further into the story. The full cast of characters and their unique voices was captivating. Highly recommend listening to.

Sinister, dark and gripping

I listened to this in about 3 days and it was amazing. Well written, well acted and just a great story.
