Best Bailey Carr Audiobooks
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.
