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, Charlotte 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, Charlotte 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 thirty 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.Particularize Epithetical Books The Good Daughter (The Good Daughter #1)

This is a superb, dark and brutal novel from the talented Karin Slaughter set in Pikeville, North Georgia. Two tragic set of events occur 28 years apart and their catastrophic repercussions on a family and their community are observed. Rusty is a notoriously able lawyer who believes that justice should be for everybody, such as defending innocent black people, and others deemed beyond the pale, like rapists. This has made Rusty a host of enemies, seen the family home burn down and bring freshI have officially drank the Karin Slaughter kool-aid. It's not that I had an aversion to reading a book by Karin Slaughter, it's just that I kind of kept putting it off. Boy, what a mistake! This book was OUTSTANDING. It was chilling, explosive, and shocking. Those are just three words that I could use to describe this book. It was also so much more. In all honesty, I don't feel there is much more that I can add to the overwhelming amount of positive reviews that already exist for this novel,
It's 1989 and Samantha and Charlotte Quinn's lives are about to change forever. Their father Rusty is a lawyer, and he represents some of the worst criminals in small town Pikeville. Some of them have committed crimes so bad that they're now on death row. Someone in the community clearly has it in for Rusty, the family home is burned to the ground, and as we meet the family, they're living in an old farmhouse, that's seen better days. However, before they even get a chance to make this place a
Maybe not quite as graphic and shocking as some other Karin Slaughter offerings, but still pretty intense. She always takes a gruesome series of events and steps it up a notch. Definitely an author to approach carefully if you are easily queasy.I was enthralled by the story and the characters. There was a whole lot of "you think you know a person", but you realize every so often there is a lot that is not what it seems. Frequent flashbacks help to reveal new clues that bring two seemingly
My reviews can also be seen at: https://deesradreadsandreviews.wordpr...4.5 Stars!!!!After reading the description and the prequel for this novel, I knew I had to read it soon. This book was INTENSE! It honestly had me feeling ALL THE FEELS. I really did both laugh and cry while reading this novel. "The Good Daughter" had me in its clutches from page one until the very end, and I'm still feeling the after-effects. The book opens in 1989. Samantha Quinn is fifteen years-old and her younger
Full review:Anyone who knows me well knows that Im a Grade-A, Karin Slaughter junkie. I cant get enough of her stuff; its like crack for nerds who like all the dark things in their reading repertoire. I began devouring her books right around my 18th birthday and have continued to do so for almost 10 years. Shes the only living author that I have continued to read for such an extended period of time; I tell you all this so that you are aware just how good these books truly are. Im going to keep
Read this without realizing it was the same author as "Pretty Girls" and thought they were equally dark... well that explains it!Explicit sexual violence which was a bit too much for me but still an interesting character-driven mystery.Not my fav. Not sure if I should read more from this author.P.S. DO NOT GET THE AUDIOBOOK. The whispering then screaming was so annoying especially since I often listen to audiobooks in the shower... it was not fun.
