I thought I had figured it out pretty early on, and I was wrong! I enjoyed this book. It’s very conversation-centric without much descriptive content, but I didn’t mind it. My favorite character by far is Lucy’s grandmother. I loved this line she said twice: It’s better to be interesting than likable. ( )

disappointing. I didn't like the main character and the killer came out of nowhere ( )

Lucy Chase has no recollection of what happened the night her best friend, Savvy, was killed. She suffered a head injury, but was seen covered in Savvy's blood. However, due to lack of evidence, she was not charged with Savvy's murder. Now, Ben Owens, host of Listen for the Lie, is featuring Savvy's murder and the question of Lucy's innocence in season 2 of his podcast. The small town of Plumpton, TX is her hometown, but she left 5 years ago for Los Angeles. Lucy never wanted to return, but her grandmother begged Lucy to come to her birthday party. Her grandmother never doubted Lucy, but the town did. Through interviews with various townspeople and Lucy's ex-husband, the truth about that night unfolds.
This kept me interested throughout and I read it in one sitting! Entertaining and sarcastic - a great thriller! ( )

This is actually pretty good, it feels like your run-of-the-mill true crime podcast murder mystery at first, but the tone, character work, and pace all make this better than most. Often funny, relatable, and dark. ( )

Loved this on audio! Completely held my interest and kept me up too late! ( )
