Über diesen Titel

A 2025 Audie Award winner for Best Mystery!

"A world-class whodunit."—Stephen King

“An extremely successful high-wire act, balancing between dark comedy and darker thrills.”—Alex Michaelides, #1 New York Times bestselling author

“Laugh-out-loud funny, thrilling and twisty...”—Liane Moriarty, #1 New York Times bestselling author

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.

The truth is out there, if we just listen.

"A lot of thrillers these days use the murder podcast as a plot device. This production simulates one better than any audiobook I’ve listened to, to an often hilarious effect. Also, January LaVoy expertly voices one of Lucy’s funniest tics: imagining how she would murder nearly every person with whom she comes in contact."—Vulture

"Narrator January LaVoy is a treat to listen to, as she gives Lucy the sardonic tone she needs as she grapples with life. LaVoy is also a genius in the way she gives life to Lucy's inner voice—a psychological shoulder demon who wants to solve every issue with ... "let's kill him."—The Berkshire Eagle

"Narrator LaVoy absolutely shines as the broken yet charmingly cheeky heroine. Her tale is organically intermixed with podcast excerpts delivered in honeyed and wry tones by Will Damron, each bookended by delightful 'podcasty' melodies."—Booklist

A Macmillan Audio production from Celadon Books.

Kritikerstimmen

“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

“Original and deliciously dark with a wicked sense of humor. An addictive page-turner that will keep you guessing until the end.”—Alice Feeney, New York Times bestselling author

“A singular voice that explodes off the page, Amy Tintera's writing flashes with sharp comebacks and pointed commentary as she expertly knits her web of secrets and small town lies. Hands down the most fun I've had reading about murder.”—Chandler Baker, New York Times bestselling author of The Husbands

i didn't know who'd done it until the end. very engaging all the way throughout. Perfect Mix

surprised me

I enjoyed the format a lot and always was extremely excited to hear the Podcast excerpts. I loved following Lucy's Storyline since her voice is extremely entertaining. She has every reason to pity herself, however she resorts to dark humour, which makes it always fun to hear more. Not saying that's the way to deal with things, it sure isn't, as she knows herself.

The only slight thing I wasn't happy with was the "voice" that kept repeating "Let's kill". Not the repetition itself (the twist was great) but the annoying way it was said.

Also I loved the societal criticism that was always present about likability and how (female) victims are expected to act. Highly recommended.

Funny, modern and dark

I didn’t really click with the protagonist - she wasn’t very likeable or interesting imo. But I liked the stöbern enough to listen to it during housework or driving. But one thing reaaally bugged me - when the male VO was up, the female voices were done by women, which was fine, but when the female VO was up she also did the male voices and it wasn’t done very well.. maybe it’s because one is the podcast and the other the „personal“ experience but I found it weird.

Interesting story, mid voice actors

Great plot and a new narrative style embedding the crime story in a podcast scenario.

A really great experience listening to this different style of an audiobook.

Switching between a good story and a podcast i never listened to before in an Audiobook. But I liked it a lot. It's quite entertaining til the end.

Loved the story with the podcast

Ich habe das Buch nicht gelesen, aber als Hörbuch, in dem live-Podcasts eingespielt werden können, vermutlich noch überzeugender. Das Thema ‚Gedächtnisverlust‘ des Opfers/Täters (in dem Fall geht es gerade darum) ist in der Krimiliteratur beliebt, wird hier aber originell umgesetzt. Das alles ist gut und humorvoll geschrieben. Schein und Wirklichkeit in einer kleinen texanischen Gemeinde werden schleichend aufgedeckt und die Paranoia der Bewohner entlarvt. Besonders gut gelungen ist die Darstellung der etwas unangepassten Hauptfigur. Empfehlenswert für alle, die genug von blutrünstigen Serienmördern haben und einfach auf amüsante Weise unterhalten werden wollen.

Amüsant und spannend

Witzig, twisty und absolut großartig gesprochen. Konnte den Täter vorhersehen, aber gefesselt war ich trotzdem fast dauerhaft. Sehr empfehlenswert!

Genial gesprochen

it was the best Audio Book I ever listened to. Just taking me into this world.

just great

I really enjoyed the mystery and suspense that this book had to offer. It keeps chasing you into every red herring imagineable, and the final conclusion is satisfying.
The voice acting decisions were mildly irritating to me. While the female voice actor came up with several "voices" for other characters in her part of the narration, the male voice actor always had other voice actors accompanying him in his sections.
Even the part where they both overlap - if it was from the female perspective, she made up his voice, even though they could have just had the male voice actor speak those lines, too? Like I said, that was so irritating to me.

Good mystery for in-between books

at some point I just couldn't stop listening anymore!! total recommend to everyone who wants to stay in doubt about what really happened up to the end :)

loved it 😍
