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.

A good story
My first Karin Slaughter book…
I battled to get into it at first
The narrator is ok but a bit lackluster but the story was great
I am glad I stuck with it in the end

Complex and compelling
Loved it. Spent way too long in the car listening instead of going inside.
Well drawn characters and a twisting, turning plot that kept me interested until the very last word.

A compelling and thought provoking story
I really enjoyed this book. Not fitting in, crime, trauma, disability, death, estrangement, poverty, justice ... so many thought provoking issues. When the plot tool a turn I wasn't expecting, it was well backed up by small clues earlier in the story.
I found the narration a little fast so listened at 0.85 speed.

Hooked from the first sentence!
I so enjoyed this book. The storyline, although unbelievable to think one family can go through so much, was so engaging. Definitely worth listening to!
