The Good Daughter

A Novel

By: Karin Slaughter

Narrated by: Kathleen Early

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, 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 30 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.

Wow!!

I listen to 7-10 books a week. This is one of the best ever. I will and gave recommended this book. It's intense, funny, and wonderfully read.

I love this book

I have every book of Karin Slaughter's books on Audible. This is the best so far. I'm getting ready to listen to it for the 3rd time

Great Book if a tad Intense

This book was a very entertaining read/listen.
Initially, I was not a fan of the author as she created a whiny victim of the main character of the novel. That annoys me but it is a perception issue I think, more than her doing a bad job.
As the book went along I became more appreciative of her skills. Some of her narration was annoying "to me" all throughout the novel but definitely not enough to stop reading.
She did a wonderful job of giving her all to the characters and I give her respect for that.
The storyline was terrific, if a bit graphic, so if you are sensitive to rape and extremely graphic violence, I give you plenty warning. The author does not go overboard but gives details you might actually get from a real-life crime.
I have enjoyed all Karin Slaughter novels and this was no slouch to her collection of well written, entertaining books.
I recommend it to mature, mentally stable people but if you are in therapy for PTSD or rape/violence you may want to head over to Danielle Steele for a gander. This one may be a little intense for you right now.
God Bless...

Good overall

Good story, kept me engaged until the end. Enjoyable to listen to. My criticism is that near the end when we were hit with the plot twists, things really contorted and the connections were a bit far fetched to get to the tidy ended. Instead of the big “aha!” reaction, I was left thinking “that’s a bit of a stretch”. Still an entertaining book though.

A good one

Best book I’ve read in a long time. It was interesting from beginning to end.
