Publisher's summary

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

From the #1 New York Times bestselling author known for her “superb pacing, twisted characters, and captivating prose” (BuzzFeed), Lisa Jewell returns with a scintillating new psychological thriller about 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?

Editorial Review

Hard to believe that None of This is True!
The eerie music and prologue of None of This Is True hooked me from the very beginning, and I knew it was going to be a must-listen. The audiobook features a podcast within the novel, which adds an extra layer of depth to the story. The plot follows Alix, a podcaster who, after an encounter with her “birthday twin,” pursues a podcast idea she cannot resist, and Josie, an unassuming woman with a chaotic life story who’s on the cusp of great changes in her life—or is she really as unassuming as she seems? The impressive cast of performers, led by Nicola Walker (of MI-5 fame) and Louise Brealey (of Sherlock fame), had me making sure that all the headphones I own were charged, because there was no way I was missing a minute of it. And now that I’m done listening, I’m just eager to tell everyone about it, while looking for a reason to listen to it again. —Patty R., Audible Editor

One of the best audio books

Quite possibly the best audiobook I’ve ever listened to. The production was incredible with each narrator bringing their character to life. I absolutely loved the detail brought to the different scenes of the book, from a Netflix documentary to podcast, it had me absolutely riveted. Cannot recommend this version enough!

On the edge of greatness

I liked the book very much and finished it over a weekend. The only reason I didn’t make it a full 5 star was because the end didn’t give me a full ending. Unless there’s a sequel (that doesn’t seem apparent) I was left wondering about the full truth.

what is and isn't true

Good story with well developed characters. You know there's something shady / wrong with Josie and believe Alex to be near perfect. But...as the layers are peeled back there's much more to their stories and who is telling their truth vs the truth.

This was so good

All I can say is this was a really good mystery/thriller/suspense novel and the narration was absolutely fabulous! I didn’t have the time to binge read but I binged… just couldn’t put it down. The sound effects and all the narration was soooooooo good!

Jewell DELIVERS

Wow! Not sure what's better, the writing or the performance! Nicola Walker was a major score here as a narrator. Jewell's unique talent for embedding so much texture into her character development really shines. Cannot recommend highky enough - listen to this one, rather than read it.

Lisa Jewell is just the best!

I will read every book Lisa produces from here on out. She has an amazing talent for suspense, and her character development is unmatched. This story was intriguing and truly kept me hooked throughout. I do wish there had been more of a “complete” resolution at the end, without the loose ends. I also felt like it was missing that “big” shocking twist or revelation that is so central to most suspense novels. Still, Lisa Jewell is in a class of her own and has become one of my favorite authors!
