This book was great! I’ve never laughed so much reading a murder mystery/thriller before. Putting this book down in order to go to sleep each night was painful. I could be heard proclaiming, “Just 1 more chapter” several times over. This is definitely an author I would read from again.

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.

I LOVED this book. I am not easily impressed when it comes to mystery/thrillers because I read so many of them. But the writing style and the podcast aspect all went together well. It's a murder mystery but there are some funny/witty parts because of Lucy's dry sense of humor. It does talk about some acts of violence in pretty graphic detail so if you're not a fan of that, I would skip this. But overall would definitely recommend!
