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 . . .

My name is Lucy Chase, but you already know that. Yes, I'm the woman who doesn't remember murdering her best friend.

You probably think I did it, too. I get it. Being found covered in her blood doesn't exactly scream 'innocent'.

Look, I'm as frustrated as you. I'd love to know if I'm a murderer - it's something you really should know about yourself, right?

And now, thanks to true-crime podcast Listen for the Lie, I could finally have my answer. But how will I live with myself if it was me?

And if I didn't kill her, then who the hell did?

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

‘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 *
