Listen for the Lie

Brigid says: A darkly comedic and twisty tale of true crime podcasts and small town murder. It has been five years since Lucy’s best friend Savvy was murdered in their Texas hometown and Lucy was found covered in her blood with no memory of what occurred. After the traumatizing events, Lucy has successfully slipped into anonymity by moving to LA and trying to forget all about her old life. All her hard work is completely ruined when hugely popular Listen for the Lie podcast host Ben Owens starts investigating the unsolved case. The captivating audiobook narrated by real life husband and wife duo, Will Damron and January LaVoy, is a must-listen due to their performances bringing the interspersed podcast episodes to life in a way that is lost in print. It reminded me of an R-rated Only Murders in the Building. Content warnings apply.
