Prequel to Slaughter's new novel, The Good Daughter, but completely unnecessary if you want to read just the novel. We are introduced to female lawyer, Charlie Quinn, whose family has suffered a twisted and devastating tragedy (in Slaughter's usual style) when Charlie was just a girl because his father felt everyone deserved a good lawyer. Now 28 years old, Charlie decides to help a young Girl Scout pursue emancipation from her grandparents, but all is not what it seems to be. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

HTML: The fantastic prequel to The Good Daughter, the stunning new standalone from the #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 Charlie's home-and after that shocking night, her 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 honor 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? .No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

When Charlie was thirteen did her life change forever when two men broke into their home. Now, is she working as a lawyer herself and when a young girl called Flora Faulkner begs her to help her is she taken in by the girl's sad story. But, it turns out that not everything is at it seems.
I really liked this short story. Often when I read novellas that take place before or between books do they feel incomplete, like they would have needed to have more meat on their bones to really tell a story. But, Last Breath manages to both introduce Charlie and tell a story that is perfectly told without feeling like it would have needed more pages to flesh out the story. I enjoyed it very much and I was looking forward to reading The Good Daughter as soon as possible after finishing this novella!
PS. I just finished The Good Daugther and it was splendid as well! ;)
I want to thank the publisher for providing me with a free copy through NetGalley for an honest review! ( )
