About this audiobook

The stunning new novel from the international #1 bestselling author—a searing, spellbinding blend of cold-case thriller and psychological suspense.

Two girls are forced into the woods at gunpoint. One runs for her life. One is left behind ...

Twenty-eight years ago, Charlotte and Samantha Quinn’s happy small-town family life was torn apart by a terrifying attack on their family home. It left their mother dead. It left their father—Pikeville’s notorious defense attorney—devastated. And it left the family fractured beyond repair, consumed by secrets from that terrible night.

Twenty-eight years later, Charlie has followed in her father’s footsteps to become a lawyer herself—the ideal good daughter. But when violence comes to Pikeville again—and a shocking tragedy leaves the whole town traumatized—Charlie is plunged into a nightmare. Not only is she the first witness on the scene, but it’s a case that unleashes the terrible memories she’s spent so long trying to suppress. Because the shocking truth about the crime that destroyed her family nearly thirty years ago won’t stay buried forever ...

Packed with twists and turns, brimming with emotion and heart, The Good Daughter is fiction at its most thrilling.

Ratings and reviews

Not for everyone. The details can be quite raw and the tragedies may be overwhelming or triggering for some. The book starts off with a bang, literally, and keeps your attention and interest until the end. There are bits of the story that do get repeated, and some parts where I had to fast forward (irrelevant details that kept droning on), but I never wanted to put it down. The narration was good too. I'll definitely keep the author and narrator on my watch list.

This book irritated me so bad. I goes on and on about nothing. I had to stop listening to it and delete it. sorry, but its boring as hell!

Really enjoyed this book.
