Listen for the Lie

Listen for the Lie

Blurb:

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.

My Reaction:
DNF.  I don't know how far along I was when I gave up on it... 20-ish percent through?  I think it was soon after Lucy went to her old friend's shop... Wherever it was, I decided I couldn't face slogging through the rest of this one.  It's just not my style at all, and I don't understand the high average of ratings.  I skimmed through the last chapters just to see the solution of the mystery and... Nope, no regrets.  

I didn't like any of these characters, the humor fell flat for me, and that voice in Lucy's head was beyond annoying.  Oh well!
