A wealthy woman suspects something is off about the luxurious complex she lives in . . . and she is right, in this riveting domestic-suspense novel from international bestselling author Alexandra Burt. Donna Pryor lives in the lap of luxury. She spends her days in a beautifully appointed condo. Her every whim is catered to by a dedicated staff, and she does not want for anything. Except for news of her adult daughter. Or an ex-husband who takes her calls. Donna knows something is wrong, but she can't quite put her finger on it. As her life of privilege starts to feel more and more like a prison, the facade she has depended on begins to crumble. Somewhere in the ruins is the truth, and the closer Donna Pryor gets to it, the more likely it is to destroy her.
Praise for The Good Daughter An eerily beautiful novel...Alexandra Burt fills
the Texas woods with her haunting prose and multiple layers of faithfulness,
blood ties and betrayals. The suspense draws you in those woods and keeps you
there until the final page.-Kathy Hepinstall, author Blue Asylum In The Good
Daughter , Alexandra Burt expertly weaves a rich tapestry of a story that is
surprising at every turn and impossible to put down. I was incredibly
impressed with her ability to take seemingly unrelated threads and connect
each one to the core of the story. Excellent read!-Rena Olsen, author of The
Girl Before A stunning read from a superb storyteller.-Clare Mackintosh,
international bestselling author of I See You The Good Daughter by Alexandra
Burt is stunning. Every landscape, from rural Texas to the dark past of the
characters, is intricately and beautifully crafted, pulling you in from the
very first page to the very last. Rarely do we get to enjoy psychological
suspense with such extraordinary descriptive narration. It's a wonderful
read!-Wendy Walker, bestselling author of All is Not Forgotten The Good
Daughter pulled me in tight and didn't let go. Eerie and wrenching, it's a
captivating story of love, obsession, and the power of secrets.-Meg Gardiner,
Edgar Award-winning author of Phantom Instinct Burt knows how to propel a
strongly character-driven novel forward, using intrigue, mystery, plot twists,
and rich-sometimes grisly-sensory imagery. Her insightful ability to make the
turmoil within Memphis and Dahlia visible and believable makes for strong
female characters who are nevertheless flawed and somewhat unreliable
narrators. The look into their inner chaos is both fascinating and unsettling
and speaks to the strength of the human will to survive even under the most
adverse conditions. Burt's tale captivates to the bitter end, by which time
'everything that was done in the dark has come into the light.'- Kirkus
