I thought this book was fantastic, I loved the two different timelines telling there stories together. Every chapter was like another cliff hanger encouraging you to read on to the next part of that story.

I found it interesting that the book showed how a few decisions can affect the rest of your life. Also how people can portray their lives and themselves however they choose even to the ones they love.

I really enjoyed this book and will keep an eye out for other books from this author.

This review has also been put on goodreads

Karin Slaughter continually blows my mind with each book as they just trap you in and almost force you to give up daily life till you have reached the end.
The writing is spectacular, the story is enthralling and you will not be disappointed!

Really struggled with this, I found the pace slow and the main character somewhat childish. A shame as normally I enjoy Karin Slaughter books but this one wasn’t for me.

Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my review.

Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for a copy of this book.

Karin Slaughter you've done it again. Absolutely fantastic i just love love love all the authors works i am the ultimate fan girls!! and this one does not disappoint!

This was my first Karin Slaughter book but it certainly won't be my last. Yes it was a bit far-fetched and a bit of a slow starter but the shifts in time, character perspectives and blood, guts and gore kept me on the edge of my seat. Thank you netgalley for the preview, I thoroughly enjoyed this wicked web of lies.

It is a long time since I read a Karen Slaughter book but this book will result in me seeking her out in the future..
Many themes were explored along the route from Mother Daughter relationships to cult developments. A great read and even though you feel you know who is who quite early on it doesnt answer the why which keeps you hooked.

I loved this book. Great characters, amazing plot line. The flashbacks kept the tension going throughout. Brilliant.

I enjoyed this modern thriller and it's worth reading. When Andrea and her mother are caught up in a mass shooting, her life changes dramatically.

Karin Slaughter always produces top drawer stuff and Pieces of Her doesn’t disappoint! Fast paced original thriller that has your brain working overtime and still gives you a ‘didn’t see that coming’ moment or two! The story, in brief, is of past events of the mother, catching up with her and the daughter trying to save herself and wondering who her mother is. I would recommend this book

Over the years I've read a number of Karin Slaughter books but it had been a while since I last read one. I wish I hadn't left it so long as remembered how much I enjoy her story telling. She brings you in from the first chapter and you have to find out how it will all end!

This got better as it went along - it took me a little while to get into it, which is unusual for me for this author. The story is good, but personally its not my favourite of her books.

I so enjoyed this read.

It starts with an incident in an American shopping mall and develops into much more as we follow the story of Andrea and her mother, Laura and Laura's past.
I'm a great fan of Karin Slaughter, although, I have to be honest, I found this to be much better than her recent writing. It had me absolutely hooked from the first to the last page.

I did wonder if it was going to get a bit silly towards the end, but, it maintained the intrigue, high tension, thrills from first to last.
I'm not a fan of action thrillers so I was surprised to be as invested in this as I was. However, I reckon that's due to the incredible storyline, twists and turns and the complexity and richness of the characters.

Just fabulous!

If you're looking for a holiday read that will keep you focused on either your travels or beach, look no further.

Great 4.5* from me.

Thanks so much to Netgalley, Karin Slaughter and HarperCollins for the opportunity to preview this fabulous read.

Absolutely chilling! What a fantastic, page turning journey for the reader. An exhilarating journey, which will leave you breathless. Such a great read.

This is the first Karin Slaughter book I have read. I became engaged with the story really early on and was excited to see where this was heading. It started off fast paced and was very intriguing. Unfortunately for me the story lost its memento and I found some parts very drawn out. The book itself took a very long time to read and I didn't feel as engaged by the end. Having read reviews for other Karin Slaughter books I think I need to try another one of her books before I fully make my mind up she is going on my included on my TBR pile.

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. I really like this author but seems to have changed to writing a different way and not sure whether or not I like it. I finished the book but honestly cannot give a review one way of the other as did not leave any lasting thoughts.

This was my first book by Karin Slaughter and will definitely not be my last. The book started with such intensity that I was immediately drawn in and found myself reading it almost obsessively.

The characters were drawn so well especially the two female protagonists- both so flawed and complex but their resilience so fascinating.

I enjoyed this book, with all its twists and turns along the way, I would reccomend fans of Karin to read this

Slow start but you need to persevere because once you get into the story it becomes extremely gripping and interesting.
After the start the pace picks up and reaches a good twisted ending.
Good background storyline helps move the story along
Highly recommendable

This is the first Karin Slaughter book I’ve read in quite a few years. I’ve really enjoyed her previous books, particularly the Will Trent series.

To be honest I don’t know what to make of this book.
The story begins when mother (Laura) and daughter (Andy) go for lunch to celebrate Andy’s birthday. The lunch ends with a shooter going into the restaurant where he kills his ex and her mother and wants to take Laura and Andy hostage. Laura then takes control of the situation and coldly kills the shooter.

The killing is caught on camera and Andy and the police get to look back at the cold and calculated way Laura killed the man, which makes Andy and the police question her history and who she really is.

The story flicks between the present day and 30 years ago. The backstory is slow, verging on boring and the plot itself which involves terrorism is unrealistic, although the backstory is told through the eyes of Laura who is one of the more interesting characters.

The present day story is told through the eyes of Andy who is naive, boring and drove me mad at times as she goes in search to find out her mums true identity. All in all the book dragged, shame though as I had hopes at the start of the book.

Excellent read, gripped from the beginning. A story with great character depth and great twists all along the way. Shows people are capable of a lot more than they believe. I would highly recommend it as a read.
