Didn’t really care for the podcast format or the amnesia (too convenient a plot device). Characters were too superficial. Only one I really liked was the grandmother. Everyone should have a gran like her.

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 😏)
