Listen for the Lie by Amy Tintera
5.0
The BEST thriller I have read in YEARS! This was my first Amy Tintera novel, but it surely will not be my last. As her first adult thriller novel this book had me invested from page one. I needed to know what was going to happen and “who done it” and just when I thought I had it figured out, nope, not in the least.
What would you do if your best friend was murdered and everyone including your husband and parents thought you did it? The worst part is, you can’t even say for sure you didn’t do it because you have no memories of that one fatal night in the woods. The only thing you know is that you were with her and covered in her blood. This is Lucy’s life and has been for 5 very long years.
This book had it all. Never a dull moment as I flipped through the pages. Everyone had their opinions about Lucy and although those opinions differed with each person being interviewed for Ben Owens True Crime Podcast, one thing remained the same, Lucy murdered her best friend, “The sweetest girl you ever met”, Savannah! Was Savannah, aka Savvy, the sweetest?
Amongst all this darkness, Amy brings humor, sarcasm, and “laugh-out-loud moments into the story. How did she do this?!? Remarkably well. When I tell you there was not a word out of place in this book, I mean it. I was completely and utterly engaged and invested in Listen For The Lie. Non-stop action with twists and turns right up until the end.
