Review: The Good Daughter

The Good Daughter by Karin Slaughter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m a big Karin Slaughter fan and have read most of her books. I always devour them, finding myself hooked, and The Good Daughter was no different. In fact, The Good Daughter is one of my favourite Karin Slaughter reads. It’s a strong four-point-five-star rating, one that will stay with me long after finishing.

The Good Daughter is more than just your average crime thriller from Karin Slaughter. It certainly has the classic elements to it, but it’s also much more. It’s a look at society, at right and wrong. It looks at how small things can change our life, at the choices we make and the things we experience. It’s a look at the relationships we have, the way things are intertwined. Mostly, it’s a story that will hook you in countless ways. Both the past and the present of the story, the truth and the lies, the good and the bad, all will hook you. You’ll fall in love with characters, you’ll hate characters, and you’ll constantly be second-guessing the information you’ve been given.

With there being so much to this one, it’s hard to write up a detailed review without giving spoilers. Just know, there is a lot to enjoy with this one. It will have you on the edge of your seat about countless elements, and there are twists you will not see coming. There will be some elements you work out, but some are complete shockers. All in all, it makes for a book that pulls at all your emotions.

Without a doubt, Karin Slaughter gave us another winner with The Good Daughter.
