About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Am I a murderer? You tell me . . .
You probably already know my name. Lucy Chase, the woman who doesn’t remember murdering her best friend.
Even though they couldn’t find enough evidence to charge me, I know you all think I did it. That’s OK. I realise being found wandering the streets the next day covered in her blood wasn't a great look.
Believe me, I’m as frustrated as you are. I’d love to know if I’m a murderer – it’s the sort of thing you really should know about yourself, isn’t it?
And now, thanks to true-crime podcast Listen for the Lie, I finally have the chance to find out. But will I be able to live with myself if it turns out it was me?
And if it wasn’t, will digging into the secrets of the night I forgot make me the next target of whoever did?
Perfect for fans of HOW TO KILL YOUR FAMILY by Bella Mackie, NONE OF THIS IS TRUE by Lisa Jewell and MURDER IN THE FAMILY by Cara Hunter.

It’s 5 November, and a woman awakens to a nightmare. Bound and gagged, she lies trapped in the heart of a towering bonfire.

Rewind eleven months: Margot, a faded TV star, and her long-suffering friend Anna watch as glamorous Liv and her flawless family move into their street.

Lucy is a character I both rooted for and doubted. She’s sarcastic, emotionally detached, and constantly pushing people away. But beneath all that, there’s a vulnerability that made me want to understand her. Her amnesia and the way people treat her—as if she’s a ticking time bomb—create this eerie atmosphere where I questioned everything. Did she really kill Savvy? Or is she the victim of something bigger?
One of my favorite characters was Lucy’s grandmother. It was so refreshing to see an 80-year-old woman living her best life, completely aware of her grandchild’s struggles from the very beginning. She was supportive in a way that Lucy’s parents weren’t—sensitive to her pain, pushing her to embrace who she was, and, above all, bringing a wonderful sense of humor. Having a grandparent like that is such a blessing, and I loved every scene she was in.
The visions and voices Lucy experiences were genuinely creepy and set the perfect mood for her unreliable narration. Every time she said something, I found myself questioning whether it was real. But her vulnerability in it all also made me believe in her. The circumstances she’s dealt with make you feel for her, and I wanted to know just how much of her version of events was true.
That said, I do think the book could have been shorter. At times, it felt like it got a little off track, especially with Lucy’s attraction to almost every man in her life. While that aspect was entertaining in moments, I felt it distracted a bit from the central mystery.
Still, Listen for the Lie was a compelling read—darkly funny, suspenseful, and full of unexpected twists. If you enjoy murder mysteries with flawed but compelling protagonists, a touch of humor, and a podcast twist, this one is worth listening to. Perfect audio book.
The grandmother!

not just by the gripping storyline, but by the incredible narration that brought every twist and emotion to life. The narrator did a phenomenal job capturing the tension, the wit, and the vulnerability of the characters. Her voice work added depth and nuance, making the experience feel more like a cinematic thriller than just a book.

The humour and dialogues are great especially the banter between Lucy and the Podcaster Ben. The author does a good job of keeping Lucy's character interesting. The voice in her head is interesting but later on just gets irritating and leads nowhere (used to make the book longer). The various people involved are also shown with distinct personalities and would have preferred to know them a bit better especially Nina (Lucy's best friend in school) and Matt (Lucy's ex husband). The audio performance elevates the story and keeps the listener guessing.
The biggest issue with this story is that it just keeps building up without any twists and finishes tamely. The ending seemed rushed and anti climatic.
The book has a very strong and long build up
