More to the point, <em>The Good Daughter</em> is Karin Slaughter's most ambitious, most emotional, and best novel. So far, anyway." --<strong>James Patterson</strong> on <em>The Good Daughter</em><br><br>"[Slaughter's] talent for writing convincingly flawed yet sympathetic characters is in high relief here... Readers will find themselves totally immersed in the suspenseful, alternating story lines and won't want either of them to end."<br/>--<em><strong>Booklist</strong></em> (starred review) on <em>Pieces of Her</em><br><br>"All of Slaughter's books... are satisfyingly surprising and plausible, but it's Slaughter's prodigious gifts of characterization that make her stand out among thriller writers.... Slaughter's satirical touches are as deft as her grimmer renditions of real life."--<em><strong>Washington Post</strong></em><br><br>"With an intrigue and suspense-filled plot, Slaughter's well-crafted, tense, and exhilarating story will keep readers on the edge of their seats."--<strong><em>Library Journal </em></strong>on <em>Pieces of Her</em><br><br>"Breathtaking.... Fiction doesn't get any better than this."--<strong>Jeffery Deaver</strong>, <em>New York Times</em>-bestselling author of <em>Solitude Creek</em> and <em>The Skin Collector</em><br><br>"Enter the world of Karin Slaughter. Just be forewarned, there's no going back."--<strong>Lisa Gardner</strong><br><br>"A propulsive, high-stakes thriller rife with intrigue and suspense."--<strong>USA Today</strong> on <em>Pieces of Her</em><br><br>"It's a compelling story that swept me along, unable to resist and unable to stop reading."--<strong>Suspense Magazine</strong> on <em>Pieces of Her</em><br><br>"The ever-popular crime novelist is back with another pulse-pounding standalone, this one considering the twisted relationship between a mother and a daughter after the latter realizes she may not know the woman who gave birth to her at all."--<strong><em>Entertainment Weekly </em></strong>on <em>Pieces of Her<strong>, </strong></em> "20 New Books to Read in August"<br><br>"It's a top-notch story that will keep the reader engrossed from start to finish. Karin Slaughter is a fabulous writer and one thing I love with her books is she has a way of creating characters that you care about."--<strong>Freshfiction.com</strong><br><br>"A hell-raising thriller . . . a genuinely exciting narrative driven by strong-willed female characters who can't wait around until the boys shake the lead out of their shoes."--<strong><em>New York Times Book Review</em> </strong>on <em>Pretty Girls</em><br><br>"A stunning family tragedy and a hold-your-breath pedal-to-the-metal thriller magically blended by Karin Slaughter's trademark passion, intensity, and humanity. Certain to be a book of the year."--<strong>Lee Child </strong>on <em>Pretty Girls</em><br><br>"But the success of writers like Gillian Flynn and Paula Hawkins and Karin Slaughter isn't just due to the fact that they're women... It's about writers comprehending why women are so compelled by stories about brutal, graphic violence in the first place."--<em><strong>The Atlantic</strong></em><br><br>"Searing, searching, soulful: a major achievement from a writer of extraordinary talents. Every Karin Slaughter novel is a cause for celebration--but simply put, <em>Pretty Girls</em> is the finest novel of her career."--<strong>Kathy Reichs</strong>, #1 <em>New York Times</em>-bestselling author of <em>Speaking in Bones</em>, on <em>Pretty Girls</em><br><br>"Simply one of the best thriller writers working today. I'd follow her anywhere."--<strong>Gillian Flynn</strong><br><br>"This is a great writer at the peak of her powers. Karin Slaughter is at her nail biting, heart stopping, emotionally draining best."--<strong>Peter James</strong> on <em>The Good Daughter</em><br>
