Listen for the Lie
by Amy Tintera
My siblings and I were searching for an audiobook to listen to for some long road trip days (which was quite the struggle to find anything that didn’t immediately turn us off), but we finally found this one, which completely sucked us in! This follows a woman with amnesia who is also the prime suspect in a murder, which is dragged up again years later when a true crime podcast tries to uncover the answers. It’s often hard to find mysteries and thrillers that work for me, but this had the right balance of twisty enough to keep you engaged but not too dark. The characters were intriguing (if also intentionally frustrating), and I enjoyed the small town dynamics in this story. The story was also well structured, alternating between our unreliable narrator’s perspective and clips from the podcast’s episodes. That element was fun with the audiobook. At times the characters and story went in directions that were a bit much for me, and it didn’t feel like the most unique or surprising mystery I’d ever read. However, this was unexpectedly just the type of mystery/thriller I enjoy, and I would love to read more of these! 🗣🫂👥👯♀️🤕☁️
