Book Review: Listen for the Lie

𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐋𝐢𝐞 𝐛𝐲 𝐀𝐦𝐲 𝐓𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚

Wow! So so good! The first adult book by Amy Tintera and I loved it. I loved the witty and dry humor that was spread throughout the book but the story line was great! So unexpected and I loved the mixed media of the podcast episodes with hearing Lucy's POV.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

In 'Listen for the Lie,' readers are drawn into the haunting tale of Lucy, who returns to her Texas hometown to confront her past after her best friend Savvy's murder is revisited by a podcast. The narrative intertwines podcast episodes and Lucy’s perspective, creating a multifaceted reading experience. The book has garnered acclaim for its ability to deliver unexpected twists and deliver humor amid darkness. With Lucy entangled in the investigation, themes of friendship, betrayal, and the quest for truth resonate deeply. Notably, Tintera's shift to adult fiction pushes boundaries, addressing how past trauma can shape the present. The influence of popular true crime narratives amplifies the story, making it relatable amidst the intrigue. As Lucy navigates her challenges, readers witness her transformation and the unraveling of long-held secrets.
