The Good Daughter de Karin Slaughter

The Good Daughter

Autor Karin Slaughter
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 mai 2018

Găsim în The Good Daughter o etapă definitorie în opera lui Karin Slaughter, marcând trecerea de la investigația pură către o explorare viscerală a traumei generaționale. După succesul răsunător cu Pieces of Her, autoarea revine la temele sale predilecte: secretele de familie și urmările devastatoare ale violenței. Două fete sunt duse în pădure sub amenințarea armei. Una fuge. Una rămâne. Douăzeci și opt de ani mai târziu, trecutul refuză să rămână îngropat. Charlotte Quinn, acum avocat, este aruncată din nou în coșmar când Pikeville este lovit de o nouă tragedie. Tensiunea este sufocantă. Propozițiile sunt tăioase. Stilul este brut. Credem că forța acestui roman polițist rezidă în dualitatea sa: este atât un thriller alert, cât și o dramă juridică profundă. Pe același raft cu Fractured de Karin Slaughter, cartea se distinge prin perspectiva unică a avocatului apărării care trebuie să își apere propriul trecut în timp ce orașul se prăbușește sub greutatea amintirilor. Comparând-o cu A Flicker in the Dark de Stacy Willingham, ambele explorează fiicele unor bărbați marcați de crime, însă Slaughter aduce o doză suplimentară de realism juridic și brutalitate emoțională. Suntem de părere că este cea mai personală lucrare a autoarei de până acum.

De ce să citești această carte

Recomandăm această carte celor care caută un thriller psihologic unde miza nu este doar descoperirea criminalului, ci supraviețuirea emoțională a personajelor. Cititorul câștigă o perspectivă crudă asupra modului în care o singură noapte de violență poate dicta cursul a trei decenii. Este o lectură intensă pentru fanii genului cold-case care apreciază personajele feminine puternice, dar vulnerabile.

Textul de pe ultima copertă

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.
Now 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. . . .
