How The Good Daughter is my first book by Karin Slaughter is beyond me. A Father raises two daughters who each go their own way as young adults. A childhood tragedy marks them for life. The daughters inherit intelligent genes from their mother which contributes to their adult challenges. Only after the father suffers a heart attack so the girls get back together as adults and solve the real mystery of their childhood tragedy which eventually brings back the bond they had before the childhood tragedy. This book was a very good read. The characters were vivid and colorful. The plot peels the story back in unexpected ways. I got involved with each of the characters as they each went through a transformation. I will be reading more by this author.

As usual with Karin Slaughter’s books it was a wow! She has written a sequel to this one. It had me glued from page 1 and didn’t let up u til the last page. I just love her books and have worked my way through the Grant County and the Will Trent series…..not one of them is a bad read…..they are all fabulous. ( )

I'm learning life is too short to read badly written books and, unfortunately, this was another one I just couldn't get into.

There were no characters that I could invest in, and the writing at time just rambled on, being even repetitive in some scenarios. ( )

4.5 stars. I highly recommend this one. One of her best. ( )

Epigraph
"...what you call my struggle to submit ... is not struggle to submit but a struggle to accept and with passion. I mean, possibly, with joy. Picture me with my ground teeth stalking joy--fully armed too as it's a highly dangerous quest." - Flannery O'Connor
Dedication
First words
Samantha Quinn felt the stinging of a thousand hornets inside her legs as she ran down the long, forlorn driveway toward the farmhouse.
