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?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Nov 9, 2023 This book was amazing! Love the twist in the end!1 person found this helpful 
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Nov 9, 2023 Wow! This one kept me on the edge of my seat and had me guessing until the very end!! Lie audiobook was amazing1 person found this helpful 
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Nov 9, 2023 Meh. With a large number of threads left hanging (ex cocaine in the pocket) I found it sloppy. Also a bleak portrayal of English culture.1 person found this helpful 
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Aug 17, 2025 This story is sooo messed up. I finished listening with wide eyes.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Jul 4, 2025 Crazy tale that did really hold my interest. Some of the twists were unexpected. Some not. But still, a good read/listen. It was hard to believe that smart Alex could be so gullible. Walter was very weird. I was not a fan of Nathan. The narration was terrific and the added background noises made me think that this was my dad was mesmerized by the radio shows he would tell us about. My only criticism - almost too much going on. The story was a roller coaster though. I loved the ride!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Jun 13, 2025 This was great! If you can listen to it, it’s even better!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Apr 29, 2025 This was a cool story. It started slow..so push through. By chapter 3, I was hooked. By chapter 5, I was listening for hours at a time (the audio equivalent of couldn't put it down lol) you can kinda see where it's going... or...so you think...
 It is disturbing, sad, creepy, fustrating, and has you saying wtf...at least twice a chapter. If you like "Listen for the lie"... you'll like this and vice versa.
 
 I recommend it.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Apr 21, 2025 Crazy, from start to finish, with a wild ending I DID NOT see coming.
 I couldn't seem to put it down!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Apr 7, 2025 This book was AMAZING! Excellent story, incredible twist, and fast paced! Couldn’t put it down!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Mar 16, 2025 Slow start but once it gets going it’s a page turner
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Mar 3, 2025 Thank god it’s finally over. What a badly written plot. The observations are, as always, keen and apt….but at this point seem formulaic, well practiced filler and fodder. No respect for the reader though…what’s going on Jewell?
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Feb 24, 2025 I highly recommend this audiobook!!! The production and cast is FANTASTIC!
 The story was so intense and captivating, absolutely unputdownable. I loved this!!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Feb 10, 2025 I thought the story was great it gives you enough to know what’s kinda wrong but still get lots of good twists. Not a good thriller for anyone that wants to be surprised, this is almost like a true crime doc you try to put together is it comes out
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Jan 12, 2025 None of This is True
 Maaaan. I've had this on my TBR FOREVER. Why did I not read it sooner?
 This was a creepy, dark, and twisty thriller. I loved every second of it! I finished it so fast, I couldn't stop!
 I was soooo into this book. There were a few times I yelled, " WHAT THE F*CK" while reading. ?
 I don't know why I put this book off for so long, but I'm glad I finally read it!
 Definitely recommend!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Jan 6, 2025 I enjoyed this. So many popular psychological thrillers are really poorly written and require you to check your brain at the cover page. This one was pretty good!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Jan 2, 2025 just what the h3ll but so good to be my first audiobook
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Dec 29, 2024 I enjoyed the book because it was a bit different. I liked the idea of a podcast. The story kept the reader wondering what would happen next. Good Read!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Nov 19, 2024 The suspense is still there and I don’t know what is true.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Nov 10, 2024 Fascinating story line wonderfully narrated by several readers. Recommend for those who enjoy psychological thrillers.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Nov 2, 2024 Amazing book! Lots of twists. Read for book club and all of us really enjoyed it! Highly recommend!!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Oct 19, 2024 This book is a bit unsettling, but definitely compelling. I couldn’t put it down.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Oct 8, 2024 Holy cow this book is a page turner .. I really like the style of how Lisa Jewell wrote this one from podcast/the different characters perspectives. I highly recommend this one!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Oct 4, 2024 Loved it! One of my best reads this year!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Sep 12, 2024 Edge of my seat throughout the whole story. If you like suspense you’ll like this novel.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Sep 2, 2024 As always Lisa Jewell leaves me wondering. Wondering which story is true which is a falsified memory. Lisa is an auto buy author for me and if she wrote a menu I’d probably eat everything on it just to see if I could figure out what it actually was in the dish.
 I was kind of annoyed at the start because I just finished another book that had the same podcast/mystery plot and wasn’t sure if now was a good time to start this so I could fully enhance it but it was worth it because by the end I felt myself not wanting the story to end so I waited days to finish to avoid feeling that emptiness. Morbid curiosity won out though and I finished to my hearts delight. Can’t wait for my next Lisa Jewell read…
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Aug 24, 2024 I couldn't stop listening to this audiobook! It was amazingly written and narrated! 10/10 recommend!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Aug 21, 2024 The story was kind of slow. The audio and special sound effects were great. I wish they would make more like this.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Aug 15, 2024 That’s an elite audiobook production ?? bravo to the voice actors and the whole crew
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Aug 15, 2024 Sooooo absolutely thrilling!! Definitely didn't expect the ending at all!!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Aug 2, 2024 A brilliantly clever plot that twisted and turned, right until the very end.
