Katie Brenner has the perfect life: a flat in London, a glamorous job, and a supercool Instagram feed. Okay, so the truth is that she rents a tiny room with no space for a wardrobe, she has a hideous commute to a lowly admin job, and the life she shares on Instagram isn't really hers. But one day her dreams are bound to come true, aren't they? Until her not-so-perfect life comes crashing down when her megasuccessful boss, Demeter, gives her the sack. All Katie's hopes are shattered.

Or was it quirky, dreamy Gemma, the sister who can't keep a secret except for the most important one of all?

Critic reviews
"Slaughter has outdone herself with Pieces of Her – a novel that sets the standard for psychological thriller writing. Rarely in fiction have the past and the present collided with such force and in such a distinctive and compelling voice." (Jeffery Deaver)
"Amongst the world‘s greatest and finest crime writers." (Yrsa Sigurðardóttir)
"Slaughter judiciously keeps the characterisation of her imperilled protagonists to the fore." (Guardian)

Wonderful convoluted story
I download this book as soon as it was released without any reviews. However, it was not a risk as Karin Slaughter never disappoints. This book presented with a beautifully written convoluted plot which keeps you hooked. You wonder how the twin timescale plots will come together and be resolved, but they do! Good narration too.

I'm a huge fan of Karin Slaughter but I struggled to stay connected to this one. I can't quite believe I'm saying this, but I actually got a bit bored. I'm hoping the next one will grab me again.

Dont Get It
Normally I am a fan of Karin Slaughter's books, but this one defies explanation. I don't understand the plot - its confusing having characters of the same name in both current and historical scenarios. Not sure who is who, half way through the book. Main character in the current scenario is so wet I have no sympathy or compassion for her situation.
Cant be bothered to listen to the rest of the story

hugely disappointing
I usually like Karen slaughter's books but this was awful. the characters were unlikeable and frankly pathetic and the story was tedious. I eventually gave up listening and skim read the book just to finish it as I could not listen to s minute longer. so disappointed as her books are normally very good.

"The tops of the Tupperware."
For thirty years, Andrea's life had been an unsatisfactory drift and she'd been relieved to return home from her miserable New York existence to nurse Laura, her mother, through cancer treatment. Then a celebration of her 31st birthday turns to horror when a young gunman shoots two people only to be stopped and killed by her mother. Returning home, Laura tells her she must go, cannot stay even one more night. It was as if she were someone Andy didn't know at all - where had the kind and loving woman gone?
Written in alternating present and past chapters, the full story of her mother's youth is revealed. Descriptions are vivid, the story moves at a steady pace and characters are mostly well developed. And herein lies the problem: both the main protagonist, Andy, and in large part her mother, are such annoyingly silly people it is very hard to relate to them. However, the background story is sufficiently interesting to carry the reader onward, the text well written. But frequent repetition also cluttered the book, as if the reader needed periodic updates on what has gone before,l leaving a book which would have benefited in losing perhaps four or five hours of the sixteen of this book.
Narration is by Kathleen Early, whose pleasant voice is well modulated, with a steady pace but without clear definition of voices of the characters. It was a fine reading rather than an actual performance.
An enjoyable, stand alone mystery thriller perhaps better read in print where repetitious chunks can more easily be skipped.
