The Mystery, Crime, and Thriller Group discussion

Welcome to your space for discussing Amy Tintera's Listen for the Lie. Please note: there is also a spoiler thread for this discussion. Have fun, be nice, and happy reading!

Hello fellow readers! Thanks for voting for this book. I am excited to read this book.

I searched for this book on Libby and got to skip the line! I'm going to speed-read the rest of the crappy book I'm currently reading and start this one ASAP! 😁

I am looking forward to reading this book.

I have started reading this,and it's intriguing. Imagine hearing about yourself and your thoughts by an absolute stranger. It's chilling.

Just downloaded the Audible version -- currently finishing up one by Megan Miranda and this one is next!

Finished this today! I really liked it!

I finished it and really enjoyed it. It's a fun novel, definitely predictable, and yet I found it difficult to put it down.
Thank you for the group choice.

Didn’t really love this one. It was a nice easy read, but not gripping enough for me! The main character was funny and fairly likeable, but hated the voice in her head and everybody ‘getting’ with each other. Felt a bit young adult/romance rather than a proper mystery that I prefer. 3/5 for me ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jumping in on this just started reading it today. My first read from this author.

Skipping this one but am new to this group and happy to be here.

I'm enjoying the inner dialog. It increases the suspense. The slow reveal and how opinions change as new information is slowly revealed.

Im really enjoying this. I like Lucy and feel for her.

Just finished. OMG I had a great experience reading this book. It was entertaining, interesting, and satisfying. I can identify with a lot in this book (excluding the murder of course). The characters were believable and they delivered. The story line was beautifully written. I just found a new author to follow. Excellent book.

I loved it. The story was well written and believable.

Amy Tintera in the afterward writes that she wanted to write a story about female friendship and she did, but I wish there had more more scenes from the past so we could see how Lucy and Savvy bonded. In a way I thought this was a book about how women don't trust themselves.

We stay in bad relationships. We believe the mean things people say about us. We wonder if we could commit murder.

This book has a lot of characters and red herrings but it also has likable protagonists in Lucy and Ben. Using the plot device of the podcast to relay information (& misinformation) was a fun way to keep the present and past separate. My favorite reveal was the voice in Lucy's head and wish we'd heard more from her. Fun mystery that kept me guessing til almost the end.
⭐️⭐️⭐️

I listened to this on Audible and both narrators, male and female, were great. I did find myself keen to listen each day but I also started to feel it was a bit on the repetitious side and wanted her to cut to the chase a bit sooner. And I saw the end coming a mile away. That said, I liked Savvy and Lucy, I'm a fan of multiple POVs, and the podcast angle was clever. 3.5 for me.

This might be my favorite thing I’ve read this year. What a fantastic surprise this turned out to be.

I started reading this and it’s dragging for me

I really enjoyed the story, especially the Lucy character. Her wickedly sarcastic remarks made me laugh more than some comedic books I've read.

Do men come off very well in the book? Not even close. There are no male role models to be found here.

The author is better known for YA books but I hope she writes more adult (and no, I don't mean erotic or triple XXX types!) level books.

This book was so good!

I loved this on audiobook!!!

I listened to the audiobook a while back and thought the story was compelling but that it seemed unrealistic that everyone in town was a liar.
