She seemed like the perfect nanny. Until she vanished – and the truth emerged. Unmasking Samantha Cookes is a chilling true story of a master manipulator who spent more than a decade reinventing herself across the UK and Ireland with an arsenal of false identities. Once known to millions as ‘Carrie Jade Williams’, she slipped seamlessly from au pair and nanny to therapist, psychologist, terminally ill author and online ‘sickfluencer’. Each persona carefully crafted. Each lie more audacious than the last. And each one designed to gain trust – and exploit it. What followed was a trail of shattered lives, a surrogacy scam, and the death of a baby that would haunt Samantha as she fled across borders, changing her identity to evade scrutiny. Each reinvention brought new victims, until her most audacious lie, a fabricated terminal illness, triggered a TikTok reckoning. Drawing on exclusive evidence and firsthand accounts, Unmasking Samantha Cookes pulls back the curtain on a master manipulator hiding in plain sight, and reveals just how easily trust can be weaponised, with an unsettling question at its core: how well do we really know the people we trust with our children?

The Irish Interest web platform is purely a provider of information about new publications. The aim of the site is to have every publishing house in Ireland adding their latest titles as they become available. Hyperlinks to each title bring users of the site directly to the publisher's web area or to a sales site where books can be purchased.
