Truth Be Told (Media Tie-In)
Truth Be Told (Media Tie-In) | Kathleen Barber
4 posts | 3 read | 6 to read
Soon to be a major TV series from Apple TV+ and produced by Reese Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine! Serial meets Ruth Ware's In A Dark, Dark Wood in this inventive and twisty psychological thriller--formerly titled Are You Sleeping--about a mega-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 and with good reason. After her father's murder thirteen years prior, her mother ran away to join a cult and her twin sister Lanie, once Josie's closest friend and confidant, betrayed her in an unimaginable way. Now, Josie has finally put down roots in New York, settling into domestic life with her partner Caleb, and that's where she intends to stay. 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 sets off a media firestorm with a megahit podcast that reopens the long-closed case of Josie's father's murder, questioning whether the wrong person may be behind bars, Josie's world begins to unravel. Meanwhile, the unexpected death of Josie's long-absent mother forces her to return to her Midwestern hometown where she must confront the demons from her past--and the lies on which she has staked her future.

Great adaptation of the tagged book on Apple TV. #booktoscreen

Octavia Spencer plays a podcast host trying to over turn a conviction. I wish she hosted a podcast in real life! I could listen to her forever!

Mehso-so

I had high hopes for this thriller / fiction true crimeish novel, but it really felt very lackluster. The story was compelling and I wanted to know the truth and how it would end, but I had to force myself there. There wasn‘t much action or intrigue. This was more boring than it should have been. Very middle of the road. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
