Good Girl, Bad Blood

Gr 7 Up–Jackson’s latest picks right up where The Good Girl’s Guide to Murder left off. Max Hastings is on trial, and Pippa and Ravi are diligently keeping the listeners of Pip’s true crime podcast up-to-date with what happens in court. Then Pip discovers another close friend is missing, and against her better instincts, she gets drawn into another case. This new case takes a while to unfold, asking patience of its audience, but once it starts listeners are thrown headlong into it. Pip adeptly uses her vast social media and research skills to investigate, and listeners will be figuring out the mystery along with Pip as clues are revealed. Bailey Carr does the bulk of the narration and conveys Pip’s angst while she recovers from the previous case as well as her tenacity as she works to solve the current one. Complete with sound effects, the richness of a full-cast audio is captured by Bailey and the 10 additional narrators: MacLeod Andrews, Donte Bonner, James Fouhey, Neil Hellegers, Cary Hite, Amy Landon, Raymond J. Lee, Keylor Leigh, Maggi-Meg Reed, and Shezi Sardar, who voice the parts of newspaper journalists and podcast participants and fans.
