Alice Feeney has become a favorite reliable author for me over the years. I was excited to learn that she had written a new book, Good Bad Girl. I got to listen to the audiobook that was very well narrated by Katharine Press and Stephanie Racine. Good Bad Girl was captivating and twisty. This well plotted novel centered around the abduction of a six month old baby girl and a murder at a senior care facility. The chapters alternated between past and present and were told from the perspective of two different mothers and daughters on Mother’s Day twenty years apart. The many characters proved to be quite overwhelming and a bit confusing in the beginning but eventually they all came together. I applaud Alice Feeney for the unconventional way she wrote Good Bad Girl. It started with the ending and ended with the beginning. Good Bad Girl kept me guessing right up until the surprising ending. Alice Feeney has proved again what a masterful storyteller she is. I highly recommend this book.

I loved your review. Once again I wonder why you aren't an author. Your writing is so easy to read and full of phrases "surprising ending" "masterful storyteller". For sure you have advertised the book for the writer and publisher to thousands of Goodreaders. I appreciate you. Sincerely.
Sandy you once again have put a big smile on my face. It takes me a long time to compose each of my reviews and responses like yours makes it all worth the time I spend on each review. I have recently moved so I am quite a bit behind on writing my reviews and I will probably fall even further behind since i am having surgery in the next couple of weeks. Thank you for your appreciated compliments. You made my night.
Great review Marilyn. I started the audiobook, but like you said, it's a bit confusing with all the characters. I'm gonna give it a go with my eyes
Marvelous review, Marilyn. Loved your comment about "It started with the ending and ended with the beginning." That is the perfect way to describe the way Alice Feeney structured this book.
Thanks so much, Darla! I have come to expect the unusual and unexpected from Alice Feeney. Glad we both enjoyed this one.😊
This is one book I've been meaning to read. I'm glad you enjoyed it and it had a surprising ending. Wishing you all the best on your surgery and a speedy recovery! 💗
Fabulous review, Marilyn! I am so glad you enjoyed this too. I hope all goes well with your surgery.
