Myslela si, že to bude další příběh do jejího podcastu. Netušila, že se stane hlavní postavou zločinu, který se teprve odehraje. Když se populární podcastová moderátorka Alix seznámí v restauraci s Josie, připadá jí to jako obyčejná náhoda. Mají narozeniny ve stejný den a Josie působí nenápadně — možná až příliš. Jenže Josie má plán. Chce, aby Alix zaznamenala její životní příběh. Tvrdí, že žije v toxickém manželství a prochází zásadní změnou. Alix souhlasí. Netuší však, že tahle spolupráce se brzy změní v noční můru. Josie začne pronikat do Alixina života, přesouvá hranice mezi hostem a vetřelcem. A když Josie jednoho dne zmizí, zůstává po ní jen podcast… a děsivá otázka: Co je pravda a co je jen pečlivě vytvořená lež? Napínavé jako skutečný kriminální dokument. Působivé jako psychologické drama. Lisa Jewell opět dokazuje, proč je považována za mistryni psychologických thrillerů. A u tohoto budete mít chuť googlit: „Je to podle skutečné události?“
