I was hooked from the first pages. I fell asleep reading and picked it back up in the morning.  I loved Ben’s cocky but sweet smugness. Lucy’s sarcastic comments during awkward situations were hilarious. I loved her grandmother’s personality even more. I’ve never laughed so much while reading a thriller like I did while reading Lucy & the grandmother’s interactions with other people. I would love to see a series come from this with Ben’s podcasts solving other cold cases (but not without Lucy and her grandmother of course 😏)

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

Initial Thoughts. Funny, which is truly an odd thing to say about a murder mystery. The blatant “fuck you” attitude that Lucy projects most of the novel is refreshing even if the plot isn’t always the most surprising thing. I've read similar storylines, I saw some things coming; but not everything. Most of all I was fucking entertained. I’ll be reading from this author again. Hell, I’ll probably reading this exact book again. Which is high praise for a thriller. Also the audiobook is a 10/10.

This book was great! I’ve never laughed so much reading a murder mystery/thriller before. Putting this book down in order to go to sleep each night was painful. I could be heard proclaiming, “Just 1 more chapter” several times over. This is definitely an author I would read from again.

With the unreliable narrator and excellent storytelling, I raced through this novel.  The author kept me engaged with the twists, and I didn't realize the ending until she told me.   I bet this would be great on audio, too.

OMG this book really had me captivated. I could not put the book down. I also couldn’t figure out the whodunit part till much later into the book. This book was really good. I gave it five stars because honestly I was really into the plot , the characters. Everything was a huge part of why I enjoyed it so much. I would read another book from the Author for sure.
Also her hearing a voice over and over again about killing really drew me in. The MC’s Dark humor and bad placed jokes were also a fun part of the story.
