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

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.

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.

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.

incredible audiobook

This was probably the best audiobook I’ve listened to. The performance was captivating, and the audio mixing as if it was an actual podcast made it even better somehow. The twists and turns of the story had me on the edge of my seat, and the fact that by the end I was still suspicious of all the characters involved and didn’t know what was the truth made me like the book even more!

So good!

Lisa Jewell continues to be my favorite author, and always I know I’ll not get anything else done on her release days! None of This Is True didn’t disappoint! I couldn’t quit listening, and the narration and even somewhat of a theatrical presentation at times (which I normally don’t care for) was excellent. I’m only sad it’s over!

So much fun

A twisty ride that will keep you listening late into the night. Loved the characters, loved that it kept me guessing…I had no idea where the story was going.
