Quick Book Reviews with Philippa Hall

Jane Casey on Everything She Didn't Say


Listen Later

Celebrate the weekend (nearly) with crime fiction royalty!

In this episode of Quick Book Reviews, Philippa Hall sits down with the brilliant, Sunday Times bestselling author Jane Casey to talk about her highly anticipated, mind-bending standalone thriller, Everything She Didn't Say.

Marking an exciting, fresh departure from her iconic series fiction, Jane's new Irish-set novel weaves an intricate web of secrets, unreliable narration, and deep betrayal. In this exclusive, spoiler-free conversation, Jane reveals how she maps out complex plot twists mid-walk, why she relies on her phone's Notes app for real life, and her ultimate dream writing cottage (where Wi-Fi is strictly banned!).

Plus, Jane shares a hilarious breakdown of her absolute nightmare writing environment—a turbulent, short-haul flight in a middle seat—and shares her surprisingly practical, real-life advice as a self-proclaimed "professor of falling over."

In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • Why Everything She Didn't Say is a unique standalone departure for Jane Casey.
  • How Jane crafts her plots while walking through the woods without taking notes.
  • The psychology of adrenaline in crime fiction versus real-life clumsy mishaps.
  • Jane’s ideal, isolated writing cottage (and why the internet is a total disaster!).
  • The hilarious horrors of trying to type a high-stakes thriller on a cramped airplane.
