Die gute Tochter

"Run!" pleads her older sister Samantha. With a gun pointed at them, two masked men drive Charlotte and her to the edge of the woods. "Run away!" And Charlie runs. On that day. And for the rest of her life. She is haunted by the memories of that horrific attack in her childhood. The bloody bones of her shot mother. The terror of her sister. The panting of her pursuer. As the daughters of a notorious lawyer, they were always the outcasts, the hunted. 28 years later, Charlie is a successful lawyer herself. When she witnesses another brutal act of violence, her past unexpectedly catches up with her. "The Good Daughter" is a masterpiece of psychological suspense. Karin Slaughter has never done a better job of delving deep into the souls of her characters, burdening each one with guilt and suffering.

"Karin Slaughter is the most celebrated author of suspense entertainment. But 'The Good Daughter' is her most ambitious, her most emotional - her best novel. At least until now." James Patterson. "It is simply the best book you can read this year. Honest, powerful, and incredibly gripping - yet written with a gentleness and empathy that breaks your heart." Kathryn Stockett. "A great author at the peak of her powers. Karin Slaughter shows in a nerve-wracking, breathtaking, and captivating way what she can do." Peter James. "I would follow the author anywhere." Gillian Flynn. "One of the strongest thriller authors of our time." Tess Gerritsen.
