"The Good Daughter" by Karin Slaughter
Oh, Karin. I never know if I should love you or loathe you.
This book had me sucked in from the get-go which is how Slaughter got me on last book I read, "The Kept Women". Even though I love how she keeps you on the edge trying to figure out who did what, I really do not like how she puts her books together. She seems to be all over the place and I don't know if I start to space off a little while reading but I will come across a paragraph and sit in wonder of how I got from there to here. Drives me crazy!
There are a lot of twists which keeps you engaged. There were times when I figured out a plot twist before it was exposed. There were times when I was completely thrown off. I also am annoyed with how Slaughter takes one scene and repeats it multiple times from a different characters point of view. It's a waste of pages to me, especially when my reading time is limited!
"The Good Daughter" is about two sisters who experience the most unimaginable tragedy only to have it drudged up again 28 years later. They've barely spoken to each other, or their father, throughout that time and all three end up back in their hometown to lawyer up for the innocent until proven guilty.
All-in-all, this was a good book from the suspense persepective, and maybe I'll read another one of her books, but I'll leave it up to you to take Karin Slaughter upon yourself!
