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.
