Truth Be Told - formerly titled Are You Sleeping - is an addictive psychological thriller about a hit podcast that reopens a murder case and threatens to unravel the carefully constructed life of the victim's daughter.
The only thing more dangerous than a lie . . . is the truth.
Josie Buhrman has spent the last ten years trying to escape her family. Following her father's murder thirteen years before, her mother ran away to join a cult and her twin sister betrayed her in an unimaginable way, leaving Josie alone.
Now, Josie finally has a happy new life in New York with her fiancé, Caleb. The only problem is that she has lied to Caleb about every detail of her past - starting with her last name.
When investigative reporter Poppy Parnell re-examines her father's case on her hit podcast Josie's world begins to unravel and then the unexpected death of her mother forces Josie to return home.
Now she must confront the secrets from her past - and the lies on which she has staked her future.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
A suspense-filled and distinctly modern thriller, Kathleen Barber’s debut novel is the inspiration for an Apple TV+ show starring Octavia Spencer. Warren Cave has been in prison for over a decade, convicted of a murder that the victim’s daughter claimed she witnessed. When the host of a hit true-crime podcast starts asking questions, the broken and still-grieving family becomes the center of an investigation that goes viral. Punctuated with the clever use of transcripts, this brilliantly assured thriller serves up a genuinely unguessable twist. We kept reading Truth Be Told far into the night, determined to find out the truth.
