The Bad Daughter by Joy Fielding is a bit of a slow burn mystery/thriller read that was full of secrets and lies surrounding the family involved.
The Bad Daughter explores the deadly differences between the lies we want to believe and the truths we wish not to know. New York Times bestselling author Joy Fielding has written a gripping edge-of-your-seat thriller of family intrigue and dark secrets. And someone may have put them all in grave danger. It seems that everyone-Robin’s mercurial sister, her less-than-communicative nephew, her absent brother, and even Tara, her father’s wife-has something to hide. As she attempts to mend fences while her father clings to life, Robin begins to wonder if there is more to the tragedy than a botched burglary attempt. Now she must return to the family she left behind. Yet even with all that distance and time and acrimony, the past is always with Robin. More than two years since Robin and Melanie have spoken. Five years since she said goodbye to her hometown of Red Bluff, California, and became a therapist. It’s been more than five years since Robin turned her back on her father when he married her best friend. Melanie’s message is dire: Their father, his second wife, and his twelve-year-old stepdaughter have been shot-likely in a home invasion-and lie in the hospital in critical condition. There was no shortage of words she could use to describe her father, almost none of them complimentary. Serves you damn right, she thought.Ī voice mail from her estranged sister, Melanie, sends Robin’s heart racing and her mind spiraling in a full-blown panic attack. A gripping, edge-of-your-seat thriller of family intrigue and dark secrets, from the author of Someone Is Watching and See Jane Run.
