Listen for the Lie by Amy Tintera

3.5

Five years ago there was a murder in a small Texas town. Lucy is found stumbling out from the woods covered in blood and cuts shortly after her best friend Savvy was found murdered.  Thing is, Lucy can't remember a thing!

Years later, a crime podcast tries to uncover the truth, and the lies….

Lucy had such a strong and distinct voice. Her internal dialogue had me giggling. She was so compelling m, even if it turned out she had committed the murder, I was convinced she would probably have had a good reason. 

And people hate that quality in a young woman, don’t they? They don’t know what to do with a girl who isn’t looking for their approval. They feel like they have to bring her down a peg

Lucy’s grandmother was also a delight. In a town full of people who hate Lucy and are all gossiping backstabbers, her grandmother is a matchmaker, day drinker, and the most sarcastic, strong willed old lady ever!

I definitely recommend the audiobook! I don’t think this would be nearly as enjoyable reading it what with the podcast format and the incredible narration!

I would recommend this if you enjoyed books such as None of the is True and A Good Girls Guide to Murder.
