HE’S GUARDING A DARK SECRET … BUT SO IS SHE

She was also his brother’s girlfriend.Tom Carruso hasn’t been home in over a decade. He left soon after Lizzie disappeared, under a darkening cloud of suspicion, and now he’s back for the inquest into Lizzie’s death – intent on telling his side of the story.
As the inquest looms, Noah meets Alice Pryce on holiday. They fall for each other fast and hard, but Noah can’t bear to tell Alice his deepest fears. And Alice is equally stricken – she carries a terrible secret of her own.

ADAPTED INTO A CHART-TOPPING PODCAST BY LISTNR CRIME
In 2014, 17-year-old Lizzie Burdett left her boyfriend’s house and never made it home. Her boyfriend, Tom Caruso was the last person to see her alive but he fled town soon after her disappearance. No charges were laid, the case went cold, and eight years later – her family want answers. Someone knows something… You Don’t Know Me – a six-part crime-thriller audio drama set in Sydney’s Northern beaches where the unsolved case of a missing teen exposes the secrets of those in the community around her. Adapted from a novel by award-winning Australian crime writer Sara Foster, this crime-mystery is full of unseen twists as each episode focuses on a different potential suspect.

PRAISE
‘Dark, compelling and truly memorable. Foster is one of my favourite writers.’
DERVLA McTIERNAN
‘You Don’t Know Me is a compelling, layered thriller with beautifully drawn characters.’
SARAH BAILEY
‘This book has it all: a gripping opening, characters I cared deeply for, a compelling mystery and heart-stopping pace. I couldn’t put it down. This is Sara Foster’s best book yet.’
NATASHA LESTER
‘With richly drawn characters and a tight, deftly handled plot, You Don’t Know Me is a propulsive, dark and mysterious thriller.’
CHRISTIAN WHITE
‘Part murder mystery, part family drama, altogether riveting; You Don’t Know Me is an emotionally-charged, fast-moving thriller, packed with familial secrets and lies. Foster keeps the plot simmering until unleashing a twist late in the proceedings that will stun readers as much as it does its protagonists.’
SIMON McDONALD, Australian bookseller
‘You Don’t Know Me proves yet again that Sara Foster is a writer at the top of her game. A compelling story of secrets, lies, and heartache.’
