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)

One of those books one can't stop listening to.

Though an excellent story the outcome of the tale was predictable by early in the story, however a lovely use of description kept the listener engaged.

a good story

I initially found the narrator really hard to listen to and not very expressive. I think it suited the story in a way but she read very quickly and in quite a monotone. the story was good enough that I still wanted to continue listening.
