None of This is True: The new addictive psychological thriller from the #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of The Family Upstairs

Product Information

These sections are well written because you know that what she says cannot be taken as gospel, but there are bits of truth hidden among the lies and it challenges you to pick them apart. One of the women is a podcaster and the small piece of information about being birthday twins starts a relationship that is faster than a runaway locomotive. I felt it was too ambiguous, and was confused what kind of conclusion the reader was supposed to make.

Nathan sits heavily next to her and rolls his Scotch around a solitary ice cube, one of the huge cylindrical ones he makes from mineral water. Unfortunately, Josie isn’t content to just complain about her own husband … Alix’s husband is also subject to Josie’s scathing opinions. That said, this game of cat and mouse was such a deviously delightful read that I can’t help but highly recommend it for your 2022 TBR. She opens her eyes, slides the cat off her lap, and runs to the toilet off the hallway, where she is violently sick.But then I thought it was pretty clear from the off she was just a manipulator obsessed with her own victim complex, and that Alix is going to lift her up into a new life. Before long, though, Josie divulges that beneath her modest middle-class home life lie instances of pedophilia, child abuse, and even murder. She worked for the fashion chain Warehouse for three years as a PR assistant and then for Thomas Pink, the Jermyn Street shirt company for four years as a receptionist and PA. With the Netflix documentary on top, the concept of the podcast offers the right amount of originality to stand out alongside other titles with similar formats, and the mystery is never simple to decipher at any step of the way. I adored the unreliable characters, their dark secrets, the fateful collision of their two different worlds in the same corner of London.

When Josie and Walter come for dinner at Alix and Nathan’s, it becomes clear that Josie hasn’t told Walter about the podcast. We both ended up with similar feelings on None of This Is True, and foremost agreed that it was a compulsive, must read suspense tale. After reading a few pages, you find yourself drawn into riveting psychological thriller with unreliable characters, shocking revelations in podcast meets documentary blending in narration of incidents by hours and dates. Lisa is a New York Times and Sunday Times number one bestselling author who has been published worldwide in over twenty-five languages.
