I loved this!! I listened to the audio and it was fantastic. I’m not sure how the book would be laid out with the podcast and Lucy’s chapters, but the audio was really well done and easy to follow. I love mysteries with a true crime podcaster investing. Lucy’s character was really well written, with all her complexities. She really had a hard life. I was all over the place with guessing who did it, but with all the twists and turns and Lucy slowly getting her memory back, it wasn’t an easy one to figure out.

Audio. I love books involving podcasts, and in this book I was guessing the whole time who did it.
I'd recommend you listen to this on audio because production quality was 10/10

I read this book as an audiobook, and I highly recommend that format. The podcast segments are produced and sound like a real podcast episode. In fact, even though I tend not to read mystery thrillers, and I have never listened to a murder podcast, I really liked this book. It kept me guessing the whole time, which is a challenge for most books. However, I didn't believe the "twist" ending at all. I won't give spoilers, but I will say this would have been a 4.5 for me, but the ending makes it a solid 4.
