Good Bad Girl

Feeney’s (Daisy Darker) latest starts as a baby is abducted from its stroller. Twenty years later, a woman is found murdered in a care home, setting off an investigation that reveals the connection between the two events. In the present, listeners meet Edith, a spunky octogenarian trying her best to escape the care home. Edith has bonded with the young new worker, Patience, but she doesn’t know that Patience is constantly telling her lies. Meanwhile, Clio, Edith’s estranged daughter, wants nothing to do with her mother. When an ill-intentioned stranger enters the scene, the women must work together to discover the truth of the murders, the abduction, and their own closely held secrets. Narrators Katherine Press and Stephanie Racine keep the tension high in this fast-paced and gripping story. Listeners will need to pay close attention as the novel jumps from past to present and includes multiple POVs, but this is all part of the fun.
