Listen for the Lie by Amy TinteraMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Book Published: 14th March 2024
Absolutely adored this book from the first page.
The story focuses on Lucy and a true crime podcaster trying to figure out if Lucy really did kill her best friend Savvy, Lucy claims she has no memory of the night five years ago, but is the main suspect in Savvy's murder. After leaving her hometown, her grandma invites Lucy back for her birthday party, where she meets the podcaster Ben and encounters the distain from the people of the town she left where everyone assumes she has murdered her best friend.
I instantly loved Lucy and her Grandma, some of the others not so much, but they are fully thought out and rounded characters, looking at them as a whole with their good points and flaws. All the characters felt relevant and crucial to the story and all added their own stamp too. Lucy's sarcasm and quick dark wit kept me entertained and amused throughout.
I really enjoyed Amy's writing style and the story being told from Lucy's perspective and the interviews on the podcast.
It was a book that I didn't want to end nor say goodbye to those characters.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for this ARC
