Karin Slaughter Knihy

Manželia a manželky. Matky a dcéry. Minulosť a budúcnosť. Tajomstvá ich spájajú. A tajomstvá ich môžu zničiť. Autorka knihy Pekné dievčatá sa vracia s pútavým, citovo spletitým trilerom, v ktorom sa šarmantný hlavný hrdina dostane do najtemnejších hlbín tajomstva, ktoré ho môže zničiť. Willa Trenta z Georgijského vyšetrovacieho úradu (GBI) privolajú k prípadu vraždy na opustenom stavenisku. Všetko sa skomplikuje, keď mŕtveho muža identifikujú ako bývalého policajta. Keď však Sara Lintonová – nová súdna lekárka GBI a Willova milenka – obhliadne telo, zistí, že obrovské množstvo krvi nájdené na mieste činu nepatrí mŕtvemu policajtovi. Krvavé stopy vedúce z miesta činu naznačujú, že môže ísť o ďalšiu obeť – ženu, ktorá zmizla... a ktorá zomrie, ak ju nenájdu včas. Will ťahá za kratší koniec, pretože stavba patrí najobľúbenejšiemu človeku v meste: bohatému a mocnému športovcovi s konexiami na tých najvyšších miestach – mužovi, ktorému napriek Willovej snahe prešlo znásilnenie. Keď však dôkazy spoja Willovu problematickú minulosť s prípadom, následky na seba nedajú dlho čakať a spôsobia v jeho živote, ako aj živote jeho blízkych vrátane kolegov, rodiny a priateľov a rovnako v živote podozrivých, ktorých prenasleduje – hotovú smršť.

Pred dvadsiatimi ôsmimi rokmi sa pokojný malomestský rodinný život dvoch sestier, Charlotte a Samanthy Quinnovej, zmenil na nočnú moru. Dvaja ozbrojení muži im zavraždili mamu a ich otec – neslávne známy advokát z mestečka Pikeville – sa z toho nikdy nespamätal. Tajomstvo z tej hroznej noci navždy roztrhalo ich rodinné putá. Samantha sa odsťahovala do New Yorku, zatiaľ čo Charlie kráčala v šľapajach svojho otca a stala sa právničkou v rodnom meste – dokonalou dobrou dcérou. Ale keď sa do Pikevillu vráti násilie a Charlotte sa stane svedkom dvoch brutálnych vrážd, ktoré paralyzujú celé mesto, musí sa vyrovnať so svojou dávnou nočnou morou. Strašné spomienky, ktoré Charlotte vo svojej mysli roky potláčala, sa začínajú predierať na povrch. Sestry preto musia spojiť svoje sily, aby túto desivú životnú kapitolu uzavreli... tentokrát už navždy. Dobrá dcéra je psychologický triler plný nečakaných zvratov a emócií vyrážajúcich dych. Karin Slaughter sa podarilo skvelým spôsobom, citlivo a zručne, preniknúť do duší svojich postáv a vykresliť ich v rovnováhe viny a utrpenia.
