What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

Winner of The British Book Awards Fiction Audiobook of the Year.

PREPARE TO BE HOOKED: Nailbiting suspense from the addictive number one million-copy bestselling author.


Read by Nicola Walker (Unforgotten, The Split, Last Tango in Halifax) and Louise Brealey (Sherlock, Lockwood & Co.), alongside a full cast, this breath-taking audiobook includes original music and a gripping soundscape, which immerses you in the production and leaves your spine tingling.

Celebrating her 45th birthday at her local pub, popular podcaster Alix Summers crosses paths with an unassuming woman called Josie Fair. Josie, it turns out, is also celebrating her 45th 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, which you will hear, fully produced, throughout this audiobook.

Slowly Alix starts to realise 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, her life and her family's lives under mortal threat.

Who is Josie Fair? And what has she done?

This audiobook includes additional performances from: Jenny Walser, Kristin Atherton, Tom Judd, Ayesha Antoine, Elliot Fitzpatrick, Alix Dunmore, Dominic Thorburn, and Lisa Jewell herself.

'Utterly addictive, twisty and so dark and clever with characters that burst off the page. This is my favourite Lisa Jewell book yet!' Claire Douglas

'I don't wanna be dramatic, but this book was effing brilliant. Could not recommend it more! Have never read a book so fast!' Hayley Morris

'Twisty twisty twisty' Emily Henry

Truly the best book EVER, if I was able to give it 100 stars I would. I'm delighted I stumbled across this absolute ace of a book. From the story plot, to the format, music, narration, cast it was like nothing I had listened to before. I found myself unable to switch it off painting away oblivious of time way into the early hours of the morning. I loved the different style of the audio book it was like being at the cinema/theatre and being so engrossed and invested in the characters visualising everything that was unfolding. I am away to find any other books by this author and I'm so looking forward to discovering them. A must read/listen for anyone u2728ud83dudcabud83cudf1fu2b50

I was looking for a bit of a change and happened on None of this is true, it's is a rather clever story that starts slowly. But my word does it grab your attention, it's a stunning book brilliantly told, a definite must have. ud83dude01ud83dude01ud83dude01ud83dude01ud83dude01ud83dude01ud83dude01ud83dude01ud83dude01ud83dude01

Good twist at the end, and amazing work to turn the whole narration into a very real podcast-like experience.

This book is extraordinary! It's bonkers and brilliant - and really quite disturbing. I have no idea how Lisa Jewell came up with the concept but it is really is unputdownable. Or in this case, can't stop listening to. And that, I think, is the best way to experience this novel. The amazing narration skills of both Nicola Walker and Louise Brearley bring the characters of Alex and Josie to life, in a way I don't think reading the book could. This was my first Lisa Jewell novel but I know it won't be my last.
