About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
Am I a murderer? You tell me . . .
You probably already know my name. Lucy Chase, the woman who doesn’t remember murdering her best friend.
Even though they couldn’t find enough evidence to charge me, I know you all think I did it. That’s OK. I realise being found wandering the streets the next day covered in her blood wasn't a great look.
Believe me, I’m as frustrated as you are. I’d love to know if I’m a murderer – it’s the sort of thing you really should know about yourself, isn’t it?
And now, thanks to true-crime podcast Listen for the Lie, I finally have the chance to find out. But will I be able to live with myself if it turns out it was me?
And if it wasn’t, will digging into the secrets of the night I forgot make me the next target of whoever did?
Perfect for fans of HOW TO KILL YOUR FAMILY by Bella Mackie, NONE OF THIS IS TRUE by Lisa Jewell and MURDER IN THE FAMILY by Cara Hunter.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,844
Psychiatrist Dr. Gwen Moore is an expert on killers. She’s spent a decade treating California’s most depraved predators and unlocking their motives - predators much like the notorious Bloody Heart serial killer, whose latest teenage victim escaped and then identified local high school teacher Randall Thompson as his captor. The case against Thompson as the Bloody Heart Killer is damning - and closed, as far as Gwen and the media are concerned. If not for one new development.

The correspondence between Carrie Allsop and David Mayer reveals, piece by piece, the painful details of a devastating affair between their spouses. With each commiserating scratch of the pen, they confess their fears and bare their souls. They share the bewilderment over how things went so wrong and come to wonder where to go from here. Told entirely through the letters of two comforting strangers and those of two illicit lovers, Evidence of the Affair explores the complex nature of the heart. And ultimately, for one woman, how liberating it can be when it’s broken.

Loved It
Loved the pace of this book. It kept me interested from the first chapter and I was up nights listening to it. I loved how it kept me guessing as to who did it. I definitely didn’t see the end coming at all!! Lots of great twists and I loved Lucy’s dark sense of humour throughout! Highly recommend this book.

Who did it?
I have listened to books read by Will before but the combination of him and his wife narrating this made it come alive. I love the humour and the serious aspects including domestic violence. Great book

Best Book Ever
I was hook from chapter 1. I loved everything about this book! The performance was amazing btw, such a well-rounded audio production- not just read, it is honestly performed. But the story? Wow! I honestly don't always love every single thing about a book, but this had every little thing you need. Mystery, thrill, romance… just wow! I listened to it straight through the night, and I adore this kind of books.
