interesting plot that had me hooked from the start. sure it was kind of easy to guess the twist, personally I enjoy how we get to that point. 
the only thing for me was the writing, it felt more like a YA book at times such as scenes with her love interest. Nothing wrong with YA books but this is not marketed as such so sometimes I felt like I was reading YA romance due to the wordings and descriptions. 
I really did enjoyed the discussion on the ‘perfect victim’, very true and unfortunately always relevant.

This book was great! Was into it enough that I read it really fast, but my only complaint that prevented me from giving it a full 5 stars is that I predicted who the killer was, it was pretty obvious. Otherwise, loved this book!

I completed this book via audiobook. And it was such a great listening experience!! I was wowed. And I’m team physical copies of books! 
A classic thriller and mystery in many ways, dare I say it also had a bit of a beach read vibe to it. (When I tell you, I was all ears!!) 🎧 
“Listen for the Lie” was funny at times, definitely had a handful of sarcastic and petty characters on deck and there’s a scene of overt smut for those of you who love a steamy read or chapter 😏. But the underside of this very entertaining novel was that domestic abuse, infidelity, and male incel behavior were also included and explored. As well as the impact and importance of friendships, past and present.

When I got into the nitty gritty of this and realized it was another murder podcast book, I thought it would be just that. I was happily mistaken!! I found myself NEEDING to listen to more as the story progressed, waiting for the truth to be revealed. I loved the parallel of learning about Past Lucy and Current Lucy, and I have high hopes for Future Lucy!

Writing was great, audio narration was five stars. Story was good- though a little predictable. I liked the fmc - she was flawed and strong.
