[Read by Kathleen Early]
The stunning new novel from the international #1 bestselling author — a searing, spellbinding blend of cold-case thriller and psychological suspense.
Two girls are forced into the woods at gunpoint. One runs for her life. One is left behind …
Twenty-eight years ago, Charlotte and Samantha Quinn’s happy small-town family life was torn apart by a terrifying attack on their family home. It left their mother dead. It left their father — Pikeville’s notorious defense attorney — devastated. And it left the family fractured beyond repair, consumed by secrets from that terrible night.
Twenty-eight years later, and Charlie has followed in her father’s footsteps to become a lawyer herself — the ideal good daughter. But when violence comes to Pikeville again — and a shocking tragedy leaves the whole town traumatized — Charlie is plunged into a nightmare. Not only is she the first witness on the scene, but it’s a case that unleashes the terrible memories she’s spent so long trying to suppress. Because the shocking truth about the crime that destroyed her family nearly thirty years ago won’t stay buried forever …
Packed with twists and turns, brimming with emotion and heart, The Good Daughter is fiction at its most thrilling.
Slaughter ‘s talent just gets better with every book This is the best book she has written. I have them all and have been a fan from the first chapter in the first book.I always think can she get better and she always does. This story winds through 30 years of the lives of amazing people. Intertwined with each other in so many ways. RMB was right to point me to this author. I am forever grateful to both authors for hours of great reading. ThAnk you.
I recommend this book. I didn’t want to miss a single word in the story. I think this is one of her best books and I highly recommend it to readers of “thriller/mystery” books. I usually don’t like stories that are written from the “then” and “now” perspective, but this one seamlessly pulled it off. There was a surprise or two toward the end. The book held my attention and I didn’t skip any pages nor did I want to skip any pages. The main characters were flawed and extremely like-able (even Rusty). I enjoyed this as much as I enjoyed the…
Another great Karin Slaughter mystery I enjoy everything Karin Slaughter writes. I have to admit that I like the series novels (especially the Will Trent series) better than the stand alone books, but I haven’t read one of her books that isn’t good.
