Bailey Carr made her mark narrating Holly Jackson's A Good Girl's Guide to Murder and its sequel Good Girl, Bad Blood — two of the most beloved YA mysteries of the last decade — and she nails the genre's specific demands: clear-headed pacing, a voice that sounds young without sounding lightweight, and the ability to hold tension through slow-burn investigative beats. Her delivery is crisp and direct, which suits Pip Fitz-Amobi's methodical, notebook-and-podcast approach to murder. Carr also appears in the ensemble cast of A Killer in the Low Country, where holding your own among a dozen narrators requires real presence. If you're a fan of smart, character-driven mysteries with a contemporary feel and you haven't heard Carr work through the AGGGTM series, that's the place to start.

How We Rank Audiobooks

Rankings are driven by listener ratings and review counts from Audible and Goodreads. Books with high ratings across a large number of listeners rank higher — a 4.5 with 50,000 ratings says more than a 4.8 with 200.

Unlike most book lists, we weight audiobook-specific factors: narrator performance, production quality, and how well a story translates to audio. A great book with a poor narration isn't a great audiobook.

We don't accept paid placements or prioritize new releases. These rankings reflect what listeners actually enjoy, not what's being promoted.

Rankings update periodically as new ratings come in and new titles are added to the collection.
