About this listen

The stunning No. 1 Sunday Times bestselling thriller from the critically acclaimed author.

One ran. One stayed. But who is…the good daughter?

Twenty-eight years ago, Charlotte and Samantha Quinn's childhoods were destroyed by a terrifying attack on their family home. It left their mother dead. It left their father – a notorious defence attorney – devastated. And it left the family consumed by secrets from that shocking night.

Twenty-eight years later, Charlie has followed in her father's footsteps to become a lawyer. But when violence comes to their home town again, the case triggers memories she's desperately tried to suppress. Because the shocking truth about the crime which destroyed her family won't stay buried for ever…

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, best-selling author of The Help)

Story captures your attention from the start. Little details become available all through the book to keep the audience's attention. Enjoyed it very much. Narrator was a little dull at times but all in all worth the listen.

Great listen and very good story with many twists and guessing. I wasn’t crazy about the narration and I hated the blasphemy. I really battled to keep listening.....

I loved the story really but I didn’t like the narrator’s reading specifically when she changes her voice to a male character!! I couldn’t make my self finish it here so I read the rest of the book. I wish I could refund it.

Samantha and Charlotte are sisters that went through a terrible ordeal when they were young and their mother was murdered. There is now a new murder that they are investigating.

The story was very cleverly revealed, going through the past and present simultaneously and connecting the characters in mind blowing ways. There are a number of twists which wereamazing and hectic. The story was very good, but also a bit heavy so i would not recommend this for sensitive listeners.

Overall, the story was thrilling, mysterious and action packed.

Heavy but good

As a top fan of Slaughter (and is my best friend) we can both confirm this could be her best book! Excellently written as always but two major plot twists that you do not see coming! Very well read as well, loved it.

Best of Karin!

Great book, catches you right at the beginning and keeps you hooked right until the end. The performance is also great.

Riveting from start to finish

What a shame. Great story, I guess, at least from what I listened to so far, but the narrator spoils it totally for me and I am giving up listening after 3,5 chapters.
