The dark comedy and whip-smart voice of You elevates the twisty suspense of Lisa Jewell's None of This is True in this read-until-four-am mystery thriller.

Am I a murderer? You tell me . . .

Lucy Chase can't remember anything about the night her best friend was murdered. Lucky her, you're probably thinking. Who would want that to be their last memory of someone they love? But for Lucy, it's become an issue.

Because everyone thinks she did it.

But that was five years ago, and Lucy has put it all behind her. Or at least, she thought she had, until an interfering yet not bad-looking podcaster offers her the opportunity to join his investigation into the night she forgot.

On the one hand, if she's a murderer, it's probably better to know - right? On the other, if she didn't do it, she'll be putting herself back in the sights of the person who did.

And either way, if you've already killed once, what's to stop you from doing it again?

Perfect for fans of None of This is True by Lisa Jewell and Murder in the Family by Cara Hunter.

Reviews for Listen for the Lie: She has no idea if she murdered her best friend – and she’d do just about anything to find out…

‘Edgy and scary, thrilling and twisty, laugh-out-loud funny. I loved it!' * Liane Moriarty * '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 * 'Amy Tintera's highly compelling voice grips you from the opening line and won't let you go. Listen For the Lie is an extremely successful high-wire act, balancing between dark comedy and darker thrills. A delight from start to finish.' * Alex Michaelides * What turns this set-up into scintillating comic noir is Lucy’s narrating voice, which is as smart and sardonic about her own words and thoughts as it is about her relatives, former bedmates and other interviewees. * Sunday Times * A brilliantly dark subversive romp. * Daily Mail *
