À propos de cet audio

A 2025 Audie Award winner for Best Mystery!

"A world-class whodunit."—Stephen King

“An extremely successful high-wire act, balancing between dark comedy and darker thrills.”—Alex Michaelides, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“Laugh-out-loud funny, thrilling and twisty...”—Liane Moriarty, #1 New York Times bestselling author

What if you thought you murdered your best friend? And if everyone else thought so too? And what if the truth doesn't matter?

After Lucy is found wandering the streets, covered in her best friend Savvy’s blood, everyone thinks she is a murderer. Lucy and Savvy were the golden girls of their small Texas town: pretty, smart, and enviable. Lucy married a dream guy with a big ring and an even bigger new home. Savvy was the social butterfly loved by all, and if you believe the rumors, especially popular with the men in town. It’s been years since that horrible night, a night Lucy can’t remember anything about, and she has since moved to LA and started a new life.

But now the phenomenally huge hit true crime podcast "Listen for the Lie," and its too-good looking host Ben Owens, have decided to investigate Savvy’s murder for the show’s second season. Lucy is forced to return to the place she vowed never to set foot in again to solve her friend’s murder, even if she is the one that did it.

The truth is out there, if we just listen.

"A lot of thrillers these days use the murder podcast as a plot device. This production simulates one better than any audiobook I’ve listened to, to an often hilarious effect. Also, January LaVoy expertly voices one of Lucy’s funniest tics: imagining how she would murder nearly every person with whom she comes in contact."—Vulture

"Narrator January LaVoy is a treat to listen to, as she gives Lucy the sardonic tone she needs as she grapples with life. LaVoy is also a genius in the way she gives life to Lucy's inner voice—a psychological shoulder demon who wants to solve every issue with ... "let's kill him."—The Berkshire Eagle

"Narrator LaVoy absolutely shines as the broken yet charmingly cheeky heroine. Her tale is organically intermixed with podcast excerpts delivered in honeyed and wry tones by Will Damron, each bookended by delightful 'podcasty' melodies."—Booklist

Ce que les critiques en disent

Listen for the Lie is a page-turner from the first sentence to the very last. In addition to being a world-class whodunit, full of carefully doled-out twists, Lucy is a terrific character, feisty and funny and, it turns out, brave as hell. It’s great fun. Readers will rip through this one.”—Stephen King

“Original and deliciously dark with a wicked sense of humor. An addictive page-turner that will keep you guessing until the end.”—Alice Feeney, New York Times bestselling author

“A singular voice that explodes off the page, Amy Tintera's writing flashes with sharp comebacks and pointed commentary as she expertly knits her web of secrets and small town lies. Hands down the most fun I've had reading about murder.”—Chandler Baker, New York Times bestselling author of The Husbands

I loved this story - I finished it in 2 days because I had to know what happened. So fun uncovering memories/mysteries at the same time as the narrator, and the story really lends itself to the audiobook form. The sometimes-sexy tension doesn’t hurt either! SO GOOD. I hope the author writes more in this genre.

great unfolding mystery!

It’s a great and enjoyable story to listen. The performance was excellent. The story makes you guessing and it’s entertaining. For those who are like me and listen to audiobooks while falling asleep. There is a music part before and after each podcast chapter. It can be a bit distracting and can keep you awake. The performance is more of an audio play rather than book.

Great thriller should be made into a movie

I loved the performance by the voice actors, I loved the podcasts episodes in the book so great. The twist in the end you can kinda envision a bit but it's still surprising.
I did find a bit too many sex references or graphic descriptions than necessary IMO but it is a great listen.

Lovely performance by the voice actors

Enjoyable

I enjoyed this book as an audibook. I thought the voice acting and podcast element were very well done! I would recommend as an audibook for sure.

I loved Gramma Beverly, she was the best. Made me laugh quite a few times. I loved getting to know Lucy and Savy's characters through the memories in the story. I loved the plot twist at the end.

One of my favourites of the year!

Story is interesting and a good listen, in large part due to the fantastic narration. Story plot itself is good, though the “intrusive thoughts” part of it I found really irritating (although eventually does make some sense, I still found it annoying). I recommend this audio book overall.

Good story with fantastic narration.
