About This Audiobook

When podcaster Lyra Voss digs into the unsolved murder of a teenage boy in her sleepy hometown, she expects a few dead ends—not a death threat. Margot Hunt’s *Tell Her Story* isn’t your average true-crime obsession; it’s a razor-sharp dive into obsession itself, where the line between investigator and target blurs faster than a podcast ad break. The prose crackles with urgency, landing punches in every chapter, and Hunt’s knack for small-town secrets makes this feel less like a mystery and more like a fever dream you can’t pause. The audiobook’s pacing is relentless, propelled by Lyra’s compulsive need to expose the truth—even if it burns her down in the process. Dakota Fanning’s narration nails Lyra’s paranoia, lacing each line with a breathless edge that lingers long after the credits roll. This isn’t a whodunit; it’s a *who’s next*—and the answer might be Lyra herself.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I finished *Tell Her Story* in one sitting because I couldn’t trust myself to press pause. Dakota Fanning’s performance is the secret weapon here, her voice trembling just shy of hysteria as she unpacks Lyra’s unraveling psyche. The audiobook’s star-studded cast delivers standout turns—LJ Ganser’s gravelly authority as a skeptical cop, Vikas Adam’s chilling calm as the town’s golden boy, and Fred Berman’s eerie, oily charm as a local oddball. The production is crisp, with sound design that drops you into Lyra’s claustrophobic world: the hum of a recorder, the static of a phone call, the creak of a porch swing in the dead of night. My only gripe? The denouement feels a tad too tidy for a story so gleefully messy—I wanted more blood on the floor. But that’s nitpicking. Hunt’s plotting is ruthless, and the audiobook’s short runtime disguises how densely packed it is. By the time Lyra’s podcast drops, you’ll be Googling local cold cases yourself. If you’ve ever wanted a thriller that reads like a binge-listened podcast but with the bite of a thriller, this is it.
