About this listen
The stunning new stand-alone, with a chilling edge of psychological suspense, from the best-selling author of Pretty Girls.
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 archetypal 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 which can't help triggering the terrible memories she's spent so long trying to suppress. Because the shocking truth about the crime which destroyed her family nearly 30 years ago won't stay buried for ever....
"A compelling thriller with immense heart.... The Good Daughter is To Kill a Mockingbird times 100—dark yet endearing and a classic of its time." (Australian Women's Weekly)
"This is a great writer at the peak of her powers. Karin Slaughter is at her nail biting, heart stopping, emotionally draining best." (Peter James)
"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)

I couldn't stop listening!
This book drew me in from the start and developed quickly but deceptively to keep me wired to my phone or laptop. The author certainly has a way with words, her descriptions sometimes took my breath away. The story held me - sometimes I smiled at the characters, sometimes I laughed out loud, a couple of times I cried - all of which often drew bemused looks from people in my local supermarket, in the gym or on my morning walk. Highly recommend "The Good Daughter" for enthralling listening.

Loved this book
This was one of those stories that I really got into. The narration was perfect (no putting on extreme accents) and the story was told in an interesting way that sometimes had me thinking that I’d accidentally gone back to a previous chapter.

Riveting and emotional
My first Karin Slaughter, and purchased due to high ratings. Did not know what to expect, and this blew me away. Clever structure, simple yet effective narration, and rounded characters. Gripping story, with numerous twists and emotional pangs. Will try Slaughter again.

Brilliant, mesmerising from beginning to end.
This is the first Karin Slaughter novel I've heard or read. Characters drawn so exquisitely. Plot moving so naturally.
Normally I take longer to get through an Audible book. This was so compelling I had to listen any spare minute available. And some not spare.
How wonderful to know I can now go back to mine her rich lode of previous novels. Of course they may not be as believable, graphic and transporting as The Good Daughter but they'll be so much better than most of the dross out there.

Crime writing at its very best
This is a brilliantly written book and the tone and atmosphere were set exceptionally well by the narrator- sometimes the story is so perverse and graphic in its nature that you may forget this was intended. The detailed repetitive descriptions are designed to reinforce the main characters, their emotions, feelings and the terrible events unfolding in their lives. Karin Slaughter has written a masterpiece with an entanglement of present and past mysteries overlaying the main characters and their lives.

Brutal, Raw and Magnificent.
A book that very accurately depicts post-tragedy emotions, with subsequent estranged/destructive relationships. Two sisters overcoming a horrific tragedy, attempting to cope with inconsolable grief and rebuilding their friendship. Highly recommend this book to any and all readers.
