Booktopia Comments
"A fast-paced, darkly funny mystery with an unreliable narrator, that leaves you second guessing every prediction you make about where the plot will go next." - Steph

Product Description
The dark comedy and whip-smart voice of You elevates the twisty suspense of Lisa Jewell's None of This is True in this read-until-four-am mystery thriller.

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 None of This is True by Lisa Jewell and Murder in the Family by Cara Hunter.

Readers will rip through this one.' * Stephen King *
