listened on Libby, but it returned itself (early!) so I had to buy it on Audible to finish.

Setting: contemporary small town Texas
My comments: Well, that was certainly an entertaining listen. You never knew who to believe, including the protagonish, who heard voices in her head. Many violent people, many nutso people, and a whole lot of extra marital screwing going on in this little town in Txas. I've never enjoyed a podcast-based story before, but this was not bad, the interruption of the podcast kept things moving along perfectly, pushing it in the right direction.
Goodreads synopsis: What if you thought you murdered your best friend? And if everyone else thought so too? And what if the truth doesn't matter?
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. But after Lucy is found wandering the streets, covered in her best friend Savvy’s blood, everyone thinks she is a murderer.
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 who did it.
The truth is out there, if we just listen.
