The good Daughter

Description

Twenty-eight years ago, Charlotte and Samantha Quinn's happy small-town family life was torn apart by a terrifying attack on their family home. It left their mother dead. It left their father—Pikeville's notorious defense attorney—devastated. And it left the family fractured beyond repair, consumed by secrets from that terrible night. Twenty-eight years later, Charlotte has followed in her father's footsteps to become a lawyer herself—the ideal good daughter. But when violence comes to Pikeville again, and a shocking tragedy leaves the whole town traumatized, Charlotte is plunged into a nightmare. Not only is she the first witness on the scene, but it's a case that unleashes the terrible memories she's spent so long trying to suppress--because the shocking truth about the crime that destroyed her family nearly thirty years ago won't stay buried forever. Packed with twists and turns, brimming with emotion and heart, The Good Daughter is fiction at its most thrilling.


Review

This was from someone else's collection. It took me a while to complete this, partly because I was busy but mostly because of the setting of the book. I don't like books set in American small towns because the theme almost always surrounds some form of sexual violence and victim blaming which I find really annoying. It might seem unfair to generalize but even this book had the same theme. The story was good (unbiased, it was great) and would probably make a good movie and I like the twist at the end but I hated 50% of the characters.

Special thanks to the person who lent it to me and didn't pester me to return it after all the delay.
