"For Your Listening Pleasure!"

Good Girl

by Mary Kubica

I have an hour long commute so I listen to a lot  of books!  I borrow some of the library’s books on CD or Playaways or I download an audio book to my iPhone through Overdrive, and play it via bluetooth in the car.  It all works.

Good Girl has been compared to Gone Girl and I have to agree that there are many elements that are similar.  The suspense, uncertainty, complicated and flawed characters are all here but in listening to this book, I really enjoyed the narration ; a full cast made it richer and more entertaining.

A  young woman of a prominent, wealthy family is kidnapped while waiting for her on-again, off-again boyfriend in a local bar.  Seems predictable but enter a conflicted kidnapper, strained family relations, and an unforeseen twist at the end, makes this book anything but predictable!
