Newport Book Club: ‘Listen for the Lie’ by Amy Tintera

Tuesday, August 5, 2025
7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

What if you thought you murdered your best friend? What if everyone else thought so, too? 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 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 the blood of her best friend, Savvy, everyone thinks she’s a murderer.

It’s been years since that horrible night- a night Lucy can’t remember anything about- and she’s since moved to Los Angeles to start a new life. That is until the too-good looking Ben Owens starts investigating Savvy’s murder for the second season of his phenomenally huge true crime podcast, Listen for the Lie. 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’s the one who did it.

The truth is out there if we just listen.
