audiobook was so fun bc you got to listen to the podcast. genuinely every character was so messy but like in a “small town everyone hooks up with everyone” way. entertaining! predicted the ending but it didn’t take away from the experience

I love a podcast plot for a thriller. This one was good, but maybe not great. Lots of small town drama and a hilarious Grandma. The narration definitely kept me going.

Listen for the Lie by Amy Tintera was such an addictive and clever read! From the very first chapter, I was pulled into this small-town mystery and could not put it down. The mix of true-crime podcast elements with the slow unraveling of Lucy’s past was done so well—it kept me guessing and questioning everyone.
Lucy is such a layered character—messy, sharp, and refreshingly honest about her flaws. I loved the tension between what she remembers, what the town believes, and what the podcast reveals. Tintera nails that balance of suspense with just the right amount of humor and wit sprinkled in.
The pacing was tight, the twists were sharp, and by the end I was shocked yet fully satisfied. If you enjoy mysteries that feel modern and binge-worthy but still pack emotional depth, this one needs to be on your TBR!
