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.…

"Another highlight was Listen for the Lie by Amy Tintera, which revolves around a main character who does not know whether or not she committed the crime of murdering her best friend. Everyone else, however, thinks she did it. Five years later, a true crime podcaster gets involved and all is revealed. Again, the main character is strong with a wry sense of humour, and you find yourself wanting to be as blunt as she is. Support Five Books Five Books interviews are expensive to produce.

Owens is investigating the unsolved murder of a young woman, Savvy, whose best friend, Lucy, was found wandering the street covered in Savvy’s blood. Lucy was clearly at the scene of the crime but can’t remember anything about what happened.
