Chloe Hadjimatheou: Breaking The Salt Path Scandal
It was the salty scandal of the year. Raynor and Moth, two beloved, intrepid underdogs had a bestselling story. One of gritty determination that told of their tale along the South West Coast Path in the face of homelessness and ruin. We loved them for it. It inspired us. Entertained us. As Raynor wrote more books, we read. She even joined us at The Trouble Club for a virtual interview during lockdown.
But it was all based on a lie.
The detective who found them out? Chloe Hadjimatheou, the Observer's Narrative Editor and an award winning investigative journalist. It started with an Instagram DM and ended with one of the biggest upsets in British publishing history.
Join us as we sit down with Chloe to learn how the truth came to light, from the reporting to the fallout.
Embezzlement, deceit, lies, cream teas and the big question... will we ever look at Cornwall the same way again?
