Listen for the Lie

Reviews

Razor-sharp, original and highly entertaining. Lots of twisty, pitch-black fun in this genuine pageturner. ‘Edgy and scary, thrilling and twisty, laugh-out-loud funny. I loved it!' Amy Tintera gives the fashionable device of podcaster v detective a fresh spin in this scintillating comic noir. '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.' '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.' 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. A brilliantly dark subversive romp. It's a page-turner you'll absolutely race through. Readers will be hard-pressed not to wolf down this intelligent page-turner in a single sitting. ‘Smart, surprising and very funny - wickedly entertaining.’ Expand reviews
