About this listen
The electrifying new thriller from international best seller Karin Slaughter explores the deadly secrets kept between a mother and daughter.
"Slaughter has outdone herself with Pieces of Her—a novel that sets the standard for psychological thriller writing. Rarely in fiction have the past and the present collided with such force and in such a distinctive and compelling voice" (Jeffery Deaver)
What if the person you thought you knew best turned out to be someone you never knew at all?
Andrea Oliver's mother, Laura, is the perfect small-town mum. Laura lives a quiet but happy life in sleepy beachside Belle Isle. She's a pillar of the community: a speech therapist, business owner, and everybody's friend. And she's never kept a secret from anyone. Or so Andrea thinks.
When Andrea is caught in a random violent attack at a shopping mall, Laura intervenes and acts in a way that is unrecognizable to her daughter. It"s like Laura is a completely different person—and that's because she was. Thirty years ago. Before Andrea. Before Belle Isle.
Laura is hailed as a hero for her actions at the mall, but 24 hours later she is in hospital, shot by an intruder, who's spent decades trying to track her down.
What is Andrea's mother trying to hide? As elements of the past return and put them both in danger, Andrea is left to piece together Laura's former identity and discover the truth—for better or worse—about her mother. Is the gentle, loving woman who raised her also a violent killer?

Not for me
I couldn't get past the first chapter.... The (I believe) main character is so passive i was cringing! Now, that might be a sign that she has been portrayed as intended but obviously not for me.

Original story is a treat
Well I was not expecting that. This is an original story that has some great twists and turns I wasn’t expecting. It was a relief to not so easily work out the ending. But the book rolled along at a beautiful pace the narration was absolutely fantastic. The characters were likeable some not so. I could not recommend this title highly enough; enjoy.

Would be better read in book form
A bit disappointing. I feel this book would be better read in book form. The narrator was not strong enough and was monotone so a lot of the excitement of book was lost.

Fascinating
The Andrea character struck me a a little 2 dimensional but I enjoyed the references to militant activism and how easy it is for the average person to be sucked into a vortex of destruction. I wanted more from Laura at the end... it didn’t ring true that she would be so hypnotised by the psycho dude... he had killed one of her babies and tried to kill the other. I believe that mother lion would take over.

It was ok
The story was alright. The main character Andrea was irritating in her mute behaviours, I just wanted to shake her.

Starts good but ends frustrating
The story was fast paced and interesting for the first half but I lost interest when it got to the militant activism stuff. I had to go over the second half twice to understand what it was about. It’s funny because Andi’s character is a bit annoying in the beginning but she improves, in the end it was her mother’s character that annoyed the hell out of me. Hated the ending.
I watched the Netflix and it was OK but again the ending just annoyed me all over again.
