"What if you thought you murdered your best friend? And if everyone else thought so too? And what if the truth doesn't matter?
Lucy and Savvy were the golden girls of their small Texas town: pretty, smart and enviable. Lucy married a dream guy with a big ring and an even bigger new home. Savvy was the social butterfly loved by all and, if you believe the rumors, especially popular with the men in town. But after Lucy is found wandering the streets, covered in her best friend Savvy's blood, everyone thinks she is a murderer.
It's been years since that horrible night, a night that lucy can't remember anything about, and she has since moved to LA and started a new life. But now the phenomenally huge hit true crime podcast Listen for the Lie and it's too-good-looking host, Ben Owens, have decided to investigate Savvy's murder for the show's second season. Lucy is forced to returns to the place she vowed never to set foot in again to solve her friend's murder, even if she is the one who did it.
The truth is out there, if we just listen."
My Rating: 4.75/5
I love a mystery that has a podcast element, especially an audiobook. The idea that we're partially solving the mystery beside the podcast host is already a draw for me, add figuring it out with the main character and I was hooked. I was incredibly surprised by the humor in this book too. For something pretty intense and dark, I laughed more than I thought I would (alot actually). The red herrings were well done, and the ending was surprising while still being logical. If anyone has further podcast mystery books they'd recommend I'd be open to suggestions.
Thanks for reading,
Sidny
