Listen for the Lie | By Amy Tintera

Lucy and Savvy might not have been bestfriends in High School but they formed a strong bond as adults. They were the "it" girls of their small town of Plumpton, TX but on the night Savvy is murdered it all changes. Lucy is found covered in Savvy's blood and has no memory of that night. She is quickly judged by her community as the perpetrator and flees. 

Lucy's, Grandmother convinces her to come back home to celebrate her birthday despite not wanting to ever return. Ben Owens the host of a true crime podcast is also in Plumpton and hopes that this time Lucy will let him interview her for his podcast. Ben Owens mission is to find out if Lucy is responsible for Savvy's brutal murder. 

Listen for the Lie alternates between Lucy's voice and Ben Owens podcast. The chapters are short and engaging. The town is full of gossiping characters and the gossip is thrilling! This books is twisty and there is never a dull moment.
