Book Description:
What if you thought you murdered your best friend? And if everyone else thought so too? And what if the truth doesn’t matter?
After Lucy is found wandering the streets, covered in her best friend Savvy’s blood, everyone thinks she is a murderer. 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. It’s been years since that horrible night, a night 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 its too-good looking host Ben Owens, have decided to investigate Savvy’s murder for the show’s second season. Lucy is forced to return to the place she vowed never to set foot in again to solve her friend’s murder, even if she is the one that did it.
The truth is out there, if we just listen.
Jessica’s Review:
Listen For the Lie is a fast moving and fun book that needs to be listened to! An interesting premise that has mystery, suspense and well… a girl murdered and her BFF is the suspect. And this suspect doesn’t remember anything! Now, years later a popular podcast creator is interested in the case and determined to solve it!
We go between the story and the podcast. And the narration keeps the listener fully involved in the story. Both January LaVoy and Will Damron did a fabulous job with their narrations. LaVoy is one of my ‘must listen to’ narrators and Damron really pulled me into the podcast sections!
Who the killer was didn’t totally work for me, but otherwise I enjoyed this audiobook! Definitely listen to this one!
