This was officially the first audiobook I have ever completed. I HATED audiobooks, as I typically found them hard to focus on. A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder showed me that some audiobooks can actually be entertaining; while this narrator wasn’t my favorite and I wish alternative speakers were used for more than just interview recordings, it did encourage me to give audiobooks another chance. I found the story itself interesting, and I kept trying to predict the ending as Pippa got new information. I liked that it was full of mistakes and unethical choices since it shows the real difficulties of conducting an unofficial investigation, although I wish they acknowledged that some of the information would never be admissible in court as such. I enjoyed learning about the characters, and I would give Jackson’s other novels a chance.
