Named One of the 50 Best Thriller Books of the 21st Century by The New York Times
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER | Over 1 million copies sold!
This unputdownable psychological thriller by New York Times bestselling author Lisa Jewell follows 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?

The book kept me reading well into the night, needing to know what happened next. I feel like there could be a second book, the true story of Jose Fair.

Absolutely amazing, I devoured this book. Loved the multiple points of view, it gave such a well rounded picture for the story. A great twist, though I KNEW something was wonky with that woman. The ending left me with questions that I'll never be able to answer but that will keep me thinking of this book. Perfection, couldn't put it down from the very beginning. Can't wait to read more from this author!
