Book Overview

Now on Netflix! Starring Toni Collette and Bella Heathcote!

Mother. Hero. Liar. Killer. How can you tell when all you have is... Pieces of Her.

What if the person you thought you knew best turns out to be someone you never knew at all . . . ?

Andrea Oliver knows everything about her mother Laura. She's knows she's spent her whole life in the small beachside town of Gullaway Island; she knows she's never wanted anything more than to live a quiet life as a pillar of the community; she knows she's never kept a secret in her life. Because we all know our mothers, don't we?

But all that changes when a Saturday afternoon trip to the mall explodes into violence and Andrea suddenly sees a completely different side to Laura. Because it turns out that before Laura was Laura, she was someone completely different. For nearly thirty years she's been hiding from her previous identity, lying low in the hope that no one will ever find her. But now she's been exposed, and nothing will ever be the same again.

Twenty-four hours later Laura is in the hospital, shot by an intruder who's spent thirty years trying to track her down and discover what she knows. Andrea is on a desperate journey following the breadcrumbs of her mother's past. And if she can't uncover the secrets hidden there, there may be no future for either one of them. . . .

Didn't Want to Put it Down!

I'm a big fan of Karin Slaughter's novels and this book did not disappoint! The characters were great, the story wasn't what I was expecting, and the ending was a great conclusion to the novel's journey. Even if you've already watched the TV series on Netflix, still give this a read. Netflix took quite a few liberties with the story, and in my opinion the novel's original story is much more satisfying and compelling. Andy's journey into finding the truth behind her mother's past and who she wants to be herself kept me on my toes til the end!

Great story!

This story is so suspenseful and well written! I love the detail Slaughter puts into her characters. The multiple timelines is confusing at first but well worth it in the end! Definitely one of my favorite stories read.

got a different book

got a different book than what i ordered. be cautious ordering!

Pieces of Her

I ordered this book in LARGE PRINT but was very upset when I received it. Not only it wasn't in LARGE PRINT but the print was so small I could not even read it with a magnifying glass. I am now out $6.89. VERY DISAPPOINTED.

Fantastic Read!

Definitely one to read! Depth, suspense, exciting. Loved it.

Could not put down!!

If you love thrillers and a little mystery this is a must read for you!!

Awesome book! Love this author.

Great book by a great author . This book kept me guessing the whole time!

"Pieces of Her" - Complex, Uncompromising, and Explosive!

This complex book lulls the reader at first into thinking the characters are just odd people, not unlike folks you may have known in your time. The suspense begins to build early and with each chapter the reader is both confounded and consumed by the story. This is Slaughter's best book since "Cop Town," and that is indeed a high bar to reach!
