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.

Jamie’s review

I freaking LOVE a good mystery/thriller and this one DELIVERSSS. Wow. I am quite impressed. It was like peeling the layers of an onion the way this unfolds and reveals more and more juicy tidbits of info 🧅

Lucy Chase is suspected of murdering her best friend Savannah 5 years ago, but she has amnesia from the night in question. A new true crime podcast focused on the case forces her back to her hometown where she has to face her past and whether or not she is guilty.

It's funny and dark and fast paced and will have you on the edge of your seat until the very last page!

Excellent for fans of true crime podcasts, especially 🙋🏼‍♀️
