None of This is True by Lisa Jewell – tells of Alix Summers, a well-known podcaster, who is celebrating her 45th birthday at the local pub. As fate would have it, a somewhat retiring woman called Josie Fair is also celebrating her 45th birthday there. It turns out that they are birthday twins!
Several days later, Alix and Josie cross paths again, this time outside Alix’s children’s school. Josie tells Alix that she thinks she might be an interesting subject for Alix’s series of podcasts after having listened to some of them. Josie, apparently, she tells Alix, is on the cusp of great changes in her life!
Alix soon realises that Josie’s life seems to be very odd and complex! Although Alix finds this unsettling, however, she can’t escape the great temptation of continuing with the podcast.
Eventually, Alix begins to suspect that Josie has been concealing some strange and dark secrets. Before she has time to fully grasp it, Josie has wheedled her way into Alix’s life – and into her home.
Then, as quickly as she arrived, Josie disappears. It is only then that Alix finds that Josie has left a horrendous and alarming legacy in her wake! Alix has unwittingly become the subject of her own true crime podcast. Her life and those of her family are now under deadly threat!
Who is this woman, who calls herself Josie Fair? Where has she been and what has she done?
Another wonderfully complex and marvellous edge-of-the-seat roller-coaster read by this talented author. Take the day off, strap yourself in, and enjoy!!
A definite must-read for 2023!
