and found the narrator excellent.This isn't the main book, and it's not meant to take its place. I both read and listened to A Good Girls.
I'll have to buy a physical copy and read it. I fully understand and support an American narrator as it was set in the US but perhaps this was an issue? Maybe it was because an American narrator was reading a book by a British author, I just feel it was a real shame because it ruined the book for me. I know I sound like a terrible bore but it kept happening and got worse, this means you almost stop listening to the book and just waiting for the next trip up.
She also kept emphasising the wrong words in sentences making it sound stilted and it felt like they should have stopped and started again to say the sentence like any normal person would. There was very little nuance and felt very shouty at times. However, the performance of the narrator ruined it for me. The book itself is really good, excellent premise and plot. I wish I had read it rather than listened to it. I will say, the end credits of this audiobook is pure gold, which I can only assume was an oversight by the producers.Īs a massive fan of the A Good Girls Guide to Murder trilogy, I couldn't wait for this book! I even saved it until after Christmas to have something to look forward to. My only gripe, is that the words “walkie-talkie” got way overused, which for me personally, means that it has lost all of its meaning, and now if I find myself ever needing to use one, I will have to think if a new word for it. It is a “who done it” style book, where you will follow one thread and think one thing, then have it turn around, so you won't know who you can trust. This is a very tense and gripping story about friends, social standing, incredibly toxic masculinity (it is written incredibly well, and you will be satisfied with the outcome of it), and a very juicy mystery. GOOD LORDY! Holly Jackson has made a brilliant book. So it was recommended to me to give it a go. If you like twists and turns, you'll love this.įrom what I heard, this was a standalone book, and not a part of the trilogy (not having read them yet).
