I could not put this down! The blend of sarcastic humour, murder mystery, and small town dynamics was so captivating. 

Lucy is such a great character. I loved her wit and her resilience in the face of almost everyone automatically assuming the worst about her.

The way the book was formatted, with transcripts of the podcast woven in, lent itself particularly well to an audiobook (and the narrators did a fantastic job with the different voices of the characters). 

The whole experience of this book was such an enjoyable one. There were plenty of twists and turns, but never any that went too over the top (there is so much pressure these days to have jaw-dropping plot twists, often at the expense of plausibility). It’s strange to say, but I was enjoying this book and its characters so much I didn’t even really try to guess what was going to happen next, I was just happy to be along for the ride
