Listen for the Lie

Lucy Chase was found beside her best friend's body with no memory of that night, and years later a true crime podcast decides to find out what she has forgotten. Amy Tintera alternates Lucy's own narration with episodes of the podcast chasing her, a structure that lets rumour, evidence and Lucy's very dry commentary contradict one another. The town has long since decided what happened; going back forces her to sit among people who have spent years certain of her guilt. The humour is unusually sharp for a thriller this dark, and it keeps the book moving without lowering the stakes. What the reading experience is like: • Dual structure: first-person chapters interleaved with podcast transcripts • An unreliable narrator whose memory gaps drive the entire plot • A darkly comic voice set against a small-town murder investigation • Standalone psychological suspense with a late reversal Recommended for readers of psychological thrillers and true crime narratives, available at Boipoka.
