Summary
The stunning No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling thriller from the critically acclaimed author.
One ran. One stayed. But who is…the good daughter?
Twenty-eight years ago, Charlotte and Samantha Quinn's childhoods were destroyed by a terrifying attack on their family home. It left their mother dead. It left their father – a notorious defence attorney – devastated. And it left the family consumed by secrets from that shocking night.
Twenty-eight years later, Charlie has followed in her father's footsteps to become a lawyer. But when violence comes to their home town again, the case triggers memories she's desperately tried to suppress. Because the shocking truth about the crime which destroyed her family won't stay buried for ever…
Critic reviews
"Karin Slaughter has - by far - the best name of all of us mystery novelists. More to the point, The Good Daughter is Karin Slaughter's most ambitious, most emotional, and best novel. So far, anyway." (James Patterson)
"Simply the best book you'll read all year. Raw, powerful and utterly gripping - yet written with a tenderness and empathy that will break your heart." (Kathryn Stockett, best-selling author of The Help)

Depressing
What would have made The Good Daughter better?
More about the characters and less dwelling on the graphic details of the horrible event at the beginning of the book.
What was most disappointing about Karin Slaughter’s story?
I found it very depressing with a constant rehashing of the event at the beginning in graphic detail, without really going anywhere as a story.
What character would you cut from The Good Daughter?
None
Any additional comments?
I nearly abandoned this at several points, but it would then offer a glimmer of hope that it was actually going to develop, only to disappoint again.

Disappointed
I'm a diehard fan of Karin Slaughter and was so excited to listen to her latest offering. However, this book left me rather disappointed. It is by no means up to her usual gripping standards - I in fact found it rather dull and tedious. The narrator did nothing to help matters either. I don't like being negative but this really wasn't great.

Her books just get better
I've always been a fan of Karin Slaughter but U actually think her stand alone novels are even better than the series books she writes, though I love them too. This book didn't disappoint.
