Yes
Five years ago Andie Bell disappeared and her boyfriend, Sal Singh, was accused of murdering her. Pippa (Pip) Fitz-Amobi doesn't believe that Sal's the one responsible for Andie's disappearance and she is going to use her senior capstone project to prove it.
A Good Girl's Guide to Murder is an excellent fast-paced YA thriller that I thoroughly enjoyed. However, the audiobook is the best one I have ever listened to. In general, I enjoy multiple narrators on audiobooks, but A Good Girl's Guide to Murder had an additional element that made it stand out. At the end of each chapter, Pip puts an entry into her capstone project log. Some are tape recordings where you hear Pip switching on the tape and can hear her interviewing another person, voiced by another narrator. Other entries are phone calls which start off with a phone ringing and a change in audio so you can tell they are talking on the phone. These little additions made this audiobook so much more engaging.
