Lucy is an accused murderer, who escaped her hometown, and is returning after years of avoidance. When she gets home, she realizes a few things. More people believe she is innocent than she thought, and her grandma has set her up by inviting the person doing a podcast of the case to town at the same time as Lucy.
Ben is the podcast director. He doesn't have a preconceived idea of who killed Savvy, he is open minded, and just wants the truth. His podcast is popular and has solved a few murders.
When Lucy finally agrees to be part of the podcast things change for both in a way they didn't expect.
The podcast aspect was well done in this book. The audiobook was good as you could hear the podcaster and the story they're telling like a real podcast. Well done, but the ending didn't really do it for me. It was a surprise, but seemed to come out of nowhere.
