A family’s past returns to Pikeville

The Good Daughter connects two moments in the Quinn family’s history: an attack on their home that killed their mother and left the family fractured, and a later act of violence in Pikeville. Nearly three decades on, Charlie Quinn has become a lawyer like her father. When she is the first witness at a new crime scene, the case brings back memories she has tried to suppress and revives questions about the original attack. The novel’s mystery is closely tied to family secrets, the lasting consequences of violence, and Charlie’s place within a damaged family.

An instant New York Times bestseller

Two girls are forced into the woods at gunpoint. One runs for her life. One is left behind...

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, and Charlie 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 -- Charlie 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.
