(Good Daughter 0.5)

Last Breath

The fantastic prequel to THE GOOD DAUGHTER, the stunning new standalone from the No. 1 bestselling author of the Will Trent and Grant County series. Protecting someone always comes at a cost. At the age of thirteen, Charlie Quinn's childhood came to an abrupt and devastating end. Two men, with a grudge against her lawyer father, broke into her home - and after that shocking night, Charlie's world was never the same. Now a lawyer herself, Charlie has made it her mission to defend those with no one else to turn to. So when Flora Faulkner, a motherless teen, begs for help, Charlie is reminded of her own past, and is powerless to say no. But honour-student Flora is in far deeper trouble than Charlie could ever have anticipated. Soon she must ask herself: how far should she go to protect her client? And can she truly believe everything she is being told?

3.5 stars
I was very happy to see another story starring Charlie and it was very interesting to see her at an earlier moment of her life, a happier time. 
The plot was very clever and I loved Flora's character, even though the final twist was a bit far-fetched

Started off slow but really worth persevering with.

I don't like the way Karin ended this story. Usually I am in love with her writing. (which I was with this up until the wedding) I wanted more from her and Ben.

A short read but very entertaining. Found out it's the prequel for the other book I just happened to grab at the library. My first introduction to this author and I'll keep reading her.
