an interesting “whodunnit” story that sadly continues to highlight violence against women used as a plot point. the story telling style is what gives this a higher rating, i enjoyed how it was a back and forth with the podcast as a means of progressing the story forward. are there stories that don’t involve violence against women as a plot point?

I was hooked from the first pages. I fell asleep reading and picked it back up in the morning.  I loved Ben’s cocky but sweet smugness. Lucy’s sarcastic comments during awkward situations were hilarious. I loved her grandmother’s personality even more. I’ve never laughed so much while reading a thriller like I did while reading Lucy & the grandmother’s interactions with other people. I would love to see a series come from this with Ben’s podcasts solving other cold cases (but not without Lucy and her grandmother of course 😏)

With the unreliable narrator and excellent storytelling, I raced through this novel.  The author kept me engaged with the twists, and I didn't realize the ending until she told me.   I bet this would be great on audio, too.

If you like messy small-town drama and true crime podcasts, you will love this book. A fast-paced and entertaining read, though the big-name blurbs on the cover are a little too effusive.
