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

I started with the audio version of the book and it began with a such an intensity I almost decided not to continue for I thought that if this is the first chapter of the book, does it just get more graphic and heart-pounding from here? Did I really want to read a book full of suffering, anguish, and evil? As "Chapter 1" begins it is 28 years later and you are thrown into another tragic scene with one of the sisters, Charlie. Karen Slaughter definitely keeps you at the edge of your seat throughout the book but slowly unravels relationships, redemption, the will to survive, and amazingly you'll smile during some of the interactions between family members . I switched back and further from reading the book and listening to it. The characters and relationships are interesting and the intrigue of the story line will hold you through the end.
