Publisher's Summary

"I've been following her for the past few days. I know where she buys her groceries, where she has her dry cleaning done, where she works. I don't know the color of her eyes or what they look like when she's scared. But I will."

Born to a prominent Chicago judge and his stifled socialite wife, Mia Dennett moves against the grain as a young inner-city art teacher. One night, Mia enters a bar to meet her on-again, off-again boyfriend. But when he doesn't show, she unwisely leaves with an enigmatic stranger. With his smooth moves and modest wit, Colin Thatcher seems at first like a safe one-night stand. But following Colin home will turn out to be the worst mistake of Mia's life.

Colin's job was to abduct Mia as part of a wild extortion plot and deliver her to his employers. But the plan takes an unexpected turn when Colin suddenly decides to hide Mia in a secluded cabin in rural Minnesota, evading the police and his deadly superiors. Mia's mother, Eve, and Detective Gabe Hoffman will stop at nothing to find them, but no one could have predicted the emotional entanglements that eventually cause this family's world to shatter.

An addictively suspenseful and tautly written thriller, The Good Girl is a compulsive debut that reveals how, even in the perfect family, nothing is as it seems.

Featured Article: The Best Female Narrators You Can Listen To All Day


When considering a new audiobook, one of the biggest questions listeners have is whether they’ll enjoy the narration style. This is understandable as audiobooks span at least a few hours, and sticking with one person’s voice for that period can feel like a big commitment. Luckily, there are so many excellent voice actors performing audiobooks that you might just find yourself gravitating to certain audiobooks based solely on the narrator’s strength.

Painful to finish

I had the hardest time finishing this book, it started out decent and ended good but the bulk of the story was boring.

Good book

I enjoyed the story but was not too excited about the English narrator, when she had to speak the other parts it sounded too forced. Not sure why the character had to have an English accent

Started good, but...

I finished this book a few days ago, but refrained from posting my review. I liked the ending and the author should have left it where it ended. I hated the prologue. A good man died because Mia/Chloe was a selfish brat! She may think she had a good reason for doing what she did, but it sounded like she wanted to extort money from her dad. I really wanted to understand where the author was coming from, but I just kept saying I wish she didn't do that.

Narrator issues

A pretty decent story...I figured out the ending in advance . Would have been so much better with better narrators. A good narrator can make an even mediocre story interesting to listen to...but the narrator for Eve was like nails on a chalk board.

Love it

I loved this book! The different narrators truly make the story, I really hope this becomes a movie one day.
I love the way books can make you fall in love with “the bad guy”.
