A big thank you to @netgalley & @macmillianaudio for the ALC of this book! 
 
When your memory fails you, your best friend is dead and you’re found wandering the streets covered in her blood - you’re quickly deemed the prime suspect in her murder. Which is exactly the case for Lucy & due to the amnesia surrounding the event, she has a very challenging time exonerating her name. 
 
This story was told through Lucy’s POV, with interspersed chapters done by the True Crime Podcaster Ben, which was a fun listen on audio! 
Small town Texas dynamics play out in this story, which include a lot of dark humor and witty one-liners, which in my thoughts are always appreciated 😂 I will be honest, I did not guess the ending on this one & that is always a good thing for me as a reader - but I do not want to spoil anything else, so I’ll leave it at that! 
 
If you’re looking for a funny, mysterious & unique thriller - look no further than Listen For The Lie!

This is not a book you want to listen to in audible. I would have rated it higher if I had read instead of listened to it. The narrator does the main characters internal voice in a very annoying way
