DAUGHTER. FRIEND. LOVER. VICTIM. MURDERER. WHO IS THE REAL KATIE COLE?
A LISA JEWELL pick in Woman & Home
When four influential members of London’s most exclusive private club are poisoned, a young waitress is charged with their murder after being caught fleeing the scene of the crime. As the trial grips the nation, five men begin to question how well they really knew her.
There’s her father, who remembers the sweet girl growing up in Devon; her childhood friend, who is swept up in her fascination with conspiracy theories; her lover, who wants to distance himself from a young woman with an obsession; her barrister, who knows she’s hiding something; and the journalist investigating the case, who is convinced he knows exactly who she is: a cold-blooded killer.
Five men. Five stories. But are you ready to hear hers?

Customer Reviews
*Intriguing*
This was a tricky one for me because, despite differing opinions about the main character Katie, do we truly know the real person?
We know that there is the poisoning of four influential members of a private London club, leading to Katie’s arrest. When questioned, she delivers the damning words, “They deserved it.” The differing opinions stem from five men: her father, her friend, her lover, her lawyer, and a journalist. Each presents their own perspective, leaving the jury to unravel the mystery.
The story baffled me because I couldn’t definitively say whether she was guilty or not. Despite this, I found it addictive. I finished reading it a few days ago but only just started writing this review. It’s my first book by this author, and I’ll definitely explore more of her work.
