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, 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

‘A great read’ Daily Mail

'The best suspense novel of the year' Daily Express

‘Fierce, savagely well-written’ Metro

loved listening to this, it was brilliant. The book itself is written so well, the performance is outstanding

A beautifully written story

Rarely have I come across characters that I have cared about so much. Some of the events were brutal, but the words were never gratuitous. The emotions were raw. There was guilt, self justification, self doubt and self discovery and an understanding of human imperfections. The truth came out in the end.
The reader had a lightness of touch which made the darkest parts seem believable, avoiding over dramatisation.

Not a comfortable read
