Let me start by saying this is probably the best audiobook production I’ve ever listened to. The main character, Lucy, is suspected of killing her bff. Most of the chapters are in her POV. However, some are from the POV of Ben, a podcaster, and those were like listening to an old timey radio show. The podcast chapters had intro and outro music, interviews that sounded like actual real-life interviews, and sound effects (like foot shuffling when the interviewee suddenly got up to leave the room). It was awesome. A++++

As for the story, it definitely held my attention. It’s kind of a large cast of characters along with twists and turns, so it keeps you on your toes. I’m terrible at guessing the endings of mysteries, so I’m not one to ask if it was predictable or not.
