mikitastic's review against another edition
4.0
I saw a lot of readers praising this book, so I knew I had to dive in.
"Listen for the Lie" is a compelling psychological thriller full of twists and turns that will make it impossible for the reader to put it down.
☁️ True Crime podcasts are so popular nowadays, and while this was not my first thriller surrounding podcasts...
☁️ I usually don't like thrillers that have a little of romance, but in this case, I enjoyed it and actually found myself craving it.
☁️ The main character, Lucy, was unlikeable at first and has an acid humor, but as the story progresses you slowly warm up to her. She has a unique and authentic personality and speech.
☁️ I do feel like some elements of the story were ignored or not further explored.
☁️ The story took a totally different turn than the one I was expecting when I started to read it. Which honestly was very welcoming and stunned me.
☁️ When I first started it, I thought the ending would be predictable, but it has a lot of twists and I did not expect the resolution.
☁️ The pacing was just right for me.
I was really invested in this story and I could not stop reading!
Thank you to the author and the publisher for the opportunity to read an e-ARC of “Listen for the Lie” through Netgalley!

A solid thriller that kept me engaged, and I didn’t guess the ending! And the audiobook was great, especially since the book centered so much around a podcast, and the audiobook made those chapters actually sound like one.
