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

Such a feeling of dread throughout- SO GOOD

I LOVED this book. The characters are so complex and you spend a lot of the first half trying to piece together what you think is going on. Such amazing story telling and the performances were incredible. There was such an eerie feeling throughout that kept me hooked. Even my husband who is not a reader was hanging around me and when I asked what he was doing, he said he wanted to know what was going to happen next and he was hooked too!
My only complaint was the last couple chapters were kinda dull. Since the rest of the book was so full of twists and turns, I was expecting something to pop out toward the end too. But overall, I really loved this. Hope to see a series or movie based on this soon!

A very good listen

Nice to listen to a book with a new plot and story line instead of the same old formula.

Great Story Incredible Cast of Narrators

I was completely transfixed, utterly compelled to know what happens next. The level of deceit is profound but is it. A false narrative or an embellished truth. For sure the twists are impactful and the overall feel is ominous and just creepy. I loved it!!

Narration by all was excellent!! They gave even more depth and insight into the characters then just reading would provide.

Hooked

This book kept me hooked. My only complaint is that the end ending was kind of dull in my opinion. I expected more. Still a good listen though.

Twist after twist. Loved!

I listened to this book in two days. A great suspense keeps you guessing about what is true and what isn’t. So good.

Couldn’t wait for this one and it was worth it!

Wow, this was incredible. Impossible to stop listening. I am a huge fan of how Lisa Jewell does this format of multi-narrator stories all pulled together, and this was right there with my favorite, The Family Remains.
