Gosh, what a story this is, dramatic, powerful, and so incredibly addictive. The Good Daughter is a standalone novel from Karin Slaughter. 28 years ago, as murder tore apart their family in a small town in North Georgia, one girl fled while the other stayed behind; in 2017 another act of violence threatens the family once more. From the very first page my whole attention was captured and kept prisoner until I had reached the end, and even now my thoughts still pop and burn. We start in 1989, and within a short time I found my body tensing, I was almost in fight or flight mode myself. I couldn't stop reading, each sentence branded my minds eye, and I could clearly see the drama as it unfolded in front of me. This really is clever writing, dots start to join up, creating a sinuous, convincing storyline. Even if thoughts of suspicion are already present, the impact of what is to come still breaks with intensity. The Good Daughter is a breathtaking whammy of a read, pure escapism at its best, and I can highly recommend it!

THE NO.1 BESTSELLER. Special Agent Will Trent finds himself forced to confront his past. From the bestselling author of Fallen. A woman is found brutally murdered in a sordid Atlanta apartment.

Soon Special Agent Will Trent finds himself returning to the home he grew up in, and a past that could hold the clue to the killings...
January 2011 Guest Editor Lisa Gardner on Karin Slaughter... Her detective Will Trent is one of the best series characters in suspense today. Here’s a complex character whose greatness weakness—his severe dyslexia—is also his greatest strength, as it has made him a master observer of human behaviour. And his love/hate relationship with his wife Angie…powerful, powerful stuff.
What a terrific author and this, her fourth, gives you an interesting insight into her protagonist’s relationship. A good place to start if you haven’t read her, then go back to the beginning, Blindsighted. She is definitely one of my favourites in the fast-paced, gritty American crime tales. Totally addictive.Comparison: Patricia Cornwell, Kathy Reichs, Tess Gerritsen.Similar this month: Vena Cork, Ian Rankin.
Only her third novel but her success grows and grows. The main character remains Sara Linton, medical examiner in the small town of Heartsdale, this time on the case of an apparent suicide on the local college campus - but for Sara and police chief Jeffrey Tolliver, things don't add up. Strong, real characters and a great plot.
