Will I love Listen for the Lie?

Lucy's best friend Savannah was murdered, and Lucy is suspected of having killed her. But Lucy can't remember anything about that night. Convenient? Plenty of people think so, including those closest to her. Is Lucy doing the gaslighting?

This plot is masterfully constructed, and I can’t say much more without spoilers. I loved it, and the gaslighting is out of this world.

This book falls into a particular murder mystery niche I really go for - snarky, sexy, dark comedy murder mystery. It has a great premise and delivers on it. How can you resist a book where a true crime podcaster teams up with the person accused of murder to find the real killer? I have to say the ending could have been a bit sharper and there were probably almost too many characters and twists and turns but it was a fun ride anyway. I usually don't like audiobooks with multiple voices and musical interludes but this book knocked it… show more.

I’ve recommended this book so many times.

I loved the premise of Listen for a Lie. Lucy has amnesia about the night Savvy died. She goes back to the town they grew up in to try and solve her best friend’s murder, even though she might be the one who did it. Throw in a couple of podcasters obsessed by cold cases and some dark humour, and I am HOOKED. It made me laugh—and gasp—out loud.

Lucy is smart, sarcastic, and possibly murderous. Is it wrong that I could relate to her?
