General Description: Lucy thought she was home free from her hometown rumors around her best friends' murder. However, when a popular podcast picks up the case, Lucy finds herself in a unique position: run from the rumors, or get justice for her best friend. Lucy was there the night of her best friends murder but can't remember a thing. Can this podcast actually help her or will it solidify her as a murderer?

The good:
- The format of the podcast was exquisite to hear in the audiobook format
- It was quick paced
- I really enjoyed the resolution at the end.

The loss of a star and a half:
- The romance subplot was unnecessary and took away from the story for me.
- This book needed no spice. I don't know why there was any in this book.

Overall, if you're looking for a unique audiobook, this should be your next pick if you like mysteries in your ears!
