Critic reviews

‘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 has – by far – the best name of all of us mystery novelists. More to the point, THE GOOD DAUGHTER is 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, bestselling author of THE HELP

‘The darkness of the past is very present in this utterly chilling thriller. With heart and skill Karin Slaughter keeps you hooked from the first page until the last’ Camilla Lackberg

‘It’s big, dark, rich, satisfying, and bloody – like a perfectly cooked steak’ Stuart MacBride

‘The best yet’ Lesley Pearse

‘This is Slaughter at her best, and that’s really saying something’ Guardian

Karin Slaughter is the only author I buy the day it hits the shelf.
This is a very satisfying stand alone story. Very well articulated and has lots of depth and layers.
Recommended.

Great Read

Found this quite hard to listen to as the story is quite brutal. American society as well is very different to ours and at times the story highlighted a very troubled place to live. Her books are disturbing.

Again, Karin makes us completely engaged with theses characters. We feel their pain, joy, fear, disappointment and excitement. We mourn with them and laugh with them. And at the end we regret finishing the book because we know we will miss them.

Awesome
