Publisher’s Summary
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.

Book Review: Listen for the Lie by Amy Tintera
Amy Tintera’s Listen for the Lie is an exciting mystery that combines suspense, humor, and a touch of darkness. The story follows Lucy, whose best friend was murdered, and Lucy herself was found holding the weapon, covered in blood—but with no memory of what happened. Years later, a true-crime podcaster digs into the case, bringing long-hidden secrets back to light in Lucy’s small town.
Lucy is a funny, relatable character who adds humor to an otherwise tense story. Her personality and interactions with other town characters, like her quirky grandma, make the story feel real and give it a few lighthearted moments.
The audiobook truly brings this story to life with its podcast-style format. Listening to it feels like tuning into a true-crime series, making the experience even more engaging. It’s a perfect choice for anyone who enjoys feeling like they’re piecing together clues along the way.
Listen for the Lie is full of twists and turns. Every character seems suspicious at some point, which kept me hooked until the end. Even though I suspected the killer, Tintera keeps you second-guessing until the final reveal.
Overall, this book isn’t just a mystery; it’s also a story about friendship, betrayal, and the lies people tell to protect themselves. If you’re looking for a thrilling audiobook that keeps you guessing, Listen for the Lie is a fantastic pick!

People don’t believe women who fight back. When a man lashes out, people say he’s lost control of his temper or made a terrible mistake. When a woman does it, she’s a psychopath.
