They raised me. Nurtured me. And lied about everything.
Sadie’s childhood has always been shrouded in mystery.
But there are three things she knows.
She was raised by two aunts.
She never knew her parents.
She is convinced she was stolen.
Cristy Ward, podcast host, is gripped by Sadie’s story. It’s perfect for her next true-crime investigation. Yet Sadie's aunt claims it’s all a fantasy.
As the evidence begins to stack up, and the lies fall apart, they all could be in a lot more danger than they thought…
Don't Believe A Word is the second Cristy Ward thriller but it's the first one I have read. I do feel that I was bombarded with a lot of characters at the start so I think it would have been beneficial to have read Nothing to See Here first. The plot itself is completely standalone though and I loved the podcast format.
When one of Sadie's aunts passes away, Sadie discovers that that she may not be related to her aunts after all. Aunt Lottie has left some intriguing papers that suggest Sadie was found abandoned on a beach but Lottie was an author so there's a big question mark as to whether the papers are fact or fiction. Cristy Ward picks up Sadie's story for her true-crime podcast and the investigation begins into who Sadie actually is.
Once I got my head around all of the characters at the start, I really started to enjoy the podcast investigation and I loved reading the podcast transcripts. There is quite a bit going on in the book with Cristy's entertaining personal life running alongside the intriguing podcast so Susan Lewis really keeps her readers on their toes.
Shocking, surprising and incredibly intriguing, Don't Believe A Word is very well named as there are so many secrets and lies within the pages. It's well worth a read and I am planning to read the first book in the near future while the characters are all still fresh in my head.
I received a gifted hardback to read and review for the blog tour and this is my honest and unbiased opinion.
