Description



About the Book



"What would you do if you thought you murdered your best friend? And if everyone else thinks so too? What if the truth doesn't matter? As Lucy Chase's Texas hometown begins to tell versions of what happened and who Lucy is to a nationwide, true crime obsessed audience, at the bequest of her grandmother, she returns to the place she vowed never to set foot in again to solve her friend's murder, even if she is the one that did it"--



Book Synopsis



"A world-class whodunit."
--Stephen King

"An extremely successful high-wire act, balancing between dark comedy and darker thrills."
--Alex Michaelides, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"Laugh-out-loud funny, thrilling and twisty..."
--Liane Moriarty, #1 New York Times bestselling author

What if you thought you murdered your best friend? And if everyone else thought so too? And what if the truth doesn't matter?

After Lucy is found wandering the streets, covered in her best friend Savvy's blood, everyone thinks she is a murderer. Lucy and Savvy were the golden girls of their small Texas town: pretty, smart, and enviable. Lucy married a dream guy with a big ring and an even bigger new home. Savvy was the social butterfly loved by all, and if you believe the rumors, especially popular with the men in town. It's been years since that horrible night, a night Lucy can't remember anything about, and she has since moved to LA and started a new life.

But now the phenomenally huge hit true crime podcast "Listen for the Lie," and its too-good looking host Ben Owens, have decided to investigate Savvy's murder for the show's second season. Lucy is forced to return to the place she vowed never to set foot in again to solve her friend's murder, even if she is the one that did it.

The truth is out there, if we just listen.



Review Quotes




"Listen for the Lie is a page-turner from the first sentence to the very last. In addition to being a world-class whodunit, full of carefully doled-out twists, Lucy is a terrific character, feisty and funny and, it turns out, brave as hell. It's great fun. Readers will rip through this one."
--Stephen King

"Original and deliciously dark with a wicked sense of humor. An addictive page-turner that will keep you guessing until the end."
--Alice Feeney, New York Times bestselling author

"A singular voice that explodes off the page, Amy Tintera's writing flashes with sharp comebacks and pointed commentary as she expertly knits her web of secrets and small town lies. Hands down the most fun I've had reading about murder."
--Chandler Baker, New York Times bestselling author of The Husbands

"Amy Tintera's highly compelling voice grips you from the opening line and won't let you go. A delight from start to finish."
--Alex Michaelides, bestselling author of The Silent Patient and The Fury

"Every so often, a book comes along that takes you for a ride--now buckle up, because Amy Tintera has written it. Listen for the Lie explores the cruelest kind of world through the eyes of a woman whose grit is only outmatched by her razor-sharp wit. This bitingly funny and subversive thriller is one of the freshest and fiercest you'll read this year."
--Courtney Summers, New York Times bestselling author of Sadie

"Edgy and scary, but also surprisingly sweet. I loved it!"
--Liane Moriarty, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Big Little Lies, Nine Perfect Strangers, and Apples Never Fall
