Listen for the Lie : Discussion Thread

[Trisha]

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.

ooooh this one is good so far but I already feel like so many people are lying!

(view spoiler)[ I believe Lucy but I also believe she's holding things back. I don't think Savvy was the sweet girl everyone made her out to be. I mean, I think that's the side she showed but not to everyone.

I'm not sure about Matt or what happened there. We definitely don't have the whole story there. Or the whole story Emmett knows. So many secrets have been held back.

I wonder when we'll start to find out -what were they fighting about.

and I knew she threw a ball at that one kid for being a jerk.

Love the grandma! she's adorable! I love her little house!
Lucy's mom is exhausting, even to read! lol she needs to calm down lol (hide spoiler)]

WOW (view spoiler)[ it's absolutely shocking how many secrets are in this town and, yet, everyone pointed a finger at Lucy - the one person with a head injury and additional damage from an attacker.

her parents really are assholes. I can't believe they treated her and the whole town like Lucy really did it.

Matt is a jerk but I don't think he's the answer
but, honestly, I don't know who is. It's not the dad, I hope.
Could it have been Nina? I don't think so - but what all is she hiding? SHE seems to come up again and again! (hide spoiler)]

oh wow!
and I'm done

this one was SO good!!

(view spoiler)[ YES! I love this plot. I can see someone like Emmett being so mad - thinking if he just waited long enough, he could 'have' Lucy

typical "nice guy" thinking he IS a nice guy but he's not. he was hurting Nina. It breaks my heart she was silent about it too (and with kids. Ugh)

and Matt. Yep, just believing it was "his crazy wife"
so awful

this one was great (hide spoiler)]
