Alice Feeney's latest book is Good Bad Girl.
What's it about? From Flatiron Books and Macmillan Audio:
"Twenty years after a baby is stolen from a stroller, a woman is murdered in a care home. The two crimes are somehow linked, and a good bad girl may be the key to discovering the truth.
Edith may have been tricked into a nursing home, but at eighty-years-young, she’s planning her escape. Patience works there, cleaning messes and bonding with Edith, a kindred spirit. But Patience is lying to Edith about almost everything.
Edith’s own daughter, Clio, won’t speak to her. And someone new is about to knock on Clio’s door…and their intentions aren’t good.
With every reason to distrust each other, the women must solve a mystery with three suspects, two murders, and one victim. If they do, they might just find out what happened to the baby who disappeared, the mother who lost her, and the connections that bind them."
My Thoughts:
This is an author I really like. Her writing is so addictive. She's a master of diversion, directing the listener one way without us even aware that's there another path to take. The storyline is wonderfully fresh with no way to guess what's next. I love twists and turns in a book - and there are many in Good Bad Girl (I like that title too). But the last few chapters - I couldn't believe what the last twist was. I went back and listened again to make sure I had heard right. I had. Bravo Alice Feeney!
I chose to listen to Good Bad Girl. There were two narrators - Katherine Press and Stephanie Racine. Their presentations were excellent. The dialogue is easy to understand and is spoken at a good pace. The voices for the various characters are wonderful - matching the mental images I had envisioned. The actions and emotions are believable. Hear for yourself - listen to an excerpt.
