    About this audiobook

    ¿Y si la persona a la que mejor creías conocer se convierte en alguien que no conoces en absoluto? Andrea Cooper lo sabe todo sobre su madre, Laura. Sabe que pasó toda su vida en el pequeño pueblo costero de Gullaway Island; sabe que lo único que ha querido siempre es vivir una vida tranquila como pilar de la comunidad; sabe que nunca ha ocultado un secreto en su vida. Y es que todos conocemos a nuestras madres, ¿no es así?

    Sin embargo, todo esto cambia cuando acude un sábado por la tarde al centro comercial, donde se desencadena la violencia, y Andrea ve de repente una cara completamente diferente de Laura. Y es que resulta que antes de que Laura fuera Laura, era alguien distinta poro completo. Durante casi treinta años ha estado escondiendo su anterior identidad, disimulando, con la esperanza de que nadie la encontrara jamás. Pero ahora ha quedado al descubierto, y nada volverá a ser lo mismo.

    Veinticuatro horas después, Laura está en el hospital: le ha disparado un intruso que había pasado treinta años intentando seguir su rastro, y descubrir lo que sabe. Andrea realiza un desesperado viaje siguiendo las huellas que llevan al pasado de su madre. Y, si ella no puede destapar los secretos allí escondidos, tal vez no haya futuro para ninguna de las dos.

      "What if the person you thought you knew best turns out to be someone you never knew at all?" Andrea thought she knew her mother but did she really? This book pacts a powerful punch and Karin Slaughter is the best writer out there to throw that punch. She is one of my favorite writers and I have read all her books. The book is filled with intrigue, surprise and an excellent cast of characters. It hooks you from the start and does not let go. The unraveling of Laura, Andrea's mother, and her secrets bring forth pieces of her that would scare any daughter. This is Karin Slaughter at her best and should not be missed! Recommended for those who love mystery thrillers.

      I feel so far behind on reviews. I have not read much of Karin Slaughter, but this was enjoyable. I am enjoying stories that don’t follow the normal pattern and aren’t the same type of story told in a different way. This was sort of a new idea and kept me guessing until almost the end.
    • 4/5
      Karin Slaughter has a real proficiency for pacing thrillers. Although I knew mostly what would happen, I enjoyed all of the action anyway as well as the relationship between mother and daughter.

      Pieces of Her is the story of the slow reveal of a mother's past to her daughter. Andrea has returned home to live with her mother, Laura, while her mother goes through treatment for cancer. While out to lunch with her mother and friends, a violent murder takes place in which the two people Andrea and Laura are dining with are murdered. Andrea witnesses her mother in turn killing the killer as though she had done it before. As it turns out, her mother is not in fact just a speech pathologist living quietly at the Georgia shore. Andrea is forced to leave her mother's house with strict guidelines which takes her on a journey of discovery. Her mother, Jane Queller, was a former world class pianist who decided to end her career and join a cult headed by her charismatic boyfriend succeeded in assassinating her business tycoon father. Jane eventually serves time in prison and then enters a protective custody program. Andrea, nicknamed Andy and named after her Uncle Andrew, was the product of Jane's relationship with Nick, the head of the cult. It takes a while for all of the pieces to come together but they eventually do.

      Solid 3.5. Definitely different than her other stand alones, but it had a nice slow burn feeling to it.
    • 3/5
      I really liked this plot. A lot. Which was good because if ever a book needed an editor it was this one. The melodrama was applied with a pallet knife. Everyone stress vomited way too much. The last 10% of the book could have/should have been wrapped up in a sentence. It was just too much. But, I did like the plot and had wondered why no one had ever used it before.
    • 4/5
      Andrea doesn't quite work as the character described - she doesn't act like a 31 year old. But I do think that the sense of unreality and fear that Andy experiences rings true. The backflashes, while effective in revealing the truth slowly, got annoying - maybe I'm just tired of the technique. The theme of honesty and the past was interesting - and the idea of how much someone can be hiding. But overall I didn't get captured by the characters.
    • 3/5
      Thriller, Grabbed me in pretty quickly, and listened to it over a 2 day weekend on audible. Basically a couple of rich kids decide to make a statement politically, and it gets out of hand and they end up inciting a bereaved woman into a murder/suicide of a powerful man in public who happens to be the father of 2 of the conspirators. The story takes you from the time of the murder 1980's to present 2013; It ends up being a "jim jones or charles-Manson" type situation where one of the conspirators who leads the pack is basically mentally controlling the others. Bombings are planned and people being harmed - which is totally what the group's message is suppose to be protecting. Makes me think of our political scene today where Normal People Stop knownig Right from Wrong * and What we all use to know was unacceptable Behavior is totally okay now because 1 Man in Power somehow serves the Kool-aide & a bunch of people drink it. I know - that may Sound like a stretch... but is it? --- Gave it 3 stars because it totally makes me feel ill that this situation is actually possible and is happening in real time (or as some would view as our Reality Show in real time.

      Wow. Grabbed it off a shelf and had no idea what it was about- EXCELLENT!! It's always the quiet ones. You never really know everything about someone- even your mother.
    • 4/5
      Pieces of Her by Karin Slaughter is an even-paced, intriguing mystery that weaves back and forth between events in the present and the mid-1980s.

      The story opens with Andrea "Andy" Oliver is celebrating her 31st birthday at a diner in a local mall with her mom Laura. Just as Laura is chatting with a former patient's daughter, a gunman opens fire, killing two people. As the shooter aims his sights on her and Andy, Laura calmly attempts to prevent him from harming Andy. As the situation grows more tense, Laura saves herself and her daughter, but her actions place her at the forefront of the police investigation and ensuing media frenzy.  As Andy is soon to discover, Laura is not who she seems. After a stunning turns of events, Andy's quest for the truth is about to put herself and others in danger.

      Andy is drifting through life aimlessly after her return to Belle Isle from New York. Working as a police dispatcher, she lives in an apartment over Laura's garage and she has no real plans for the future.  Andy freezes in the face of danger and finds it virtually impossible to focus on Laura's commands. However, after another menacing situation arises, Andy forces herself to act and soon finds herself on a collision course with Laura's secret past.

      Events from the 1980s unfold in a series of well-place flashbacks. As Andy picks through the detritus of her mother's life, the two story arcs gradually converge in the present. Andy has no idea she is about to set in motion a harrowing series of events that will endanger herself and others. How will Andy deal with the shocking answers she learns about herself and Laura?

      Pieces of Her is an engrossing mystery with a storyline that feels familiar since many elements are reminiscent of true life events. Andy is initially a frustrating character who is helpless in the face of danger. Fortunately, her quest to uncover the long buried secrets of her mother's past turns into a life-altering journey of self-discovery.  With a few unanticipated twists and turns, Karin Slaughter brings the novel to an action-packed conclusion that is quite satisfying.
    • 2/5
      Well, that was disappointing! This started off so strong. I was flying threw the beginning and was hooked. As the story continued on and jumped back in time, I started to lose interest. I kept pushing through as I still wanted to know what was going to happen. I ended up getting so bored, I skipped ahead. I had no clue what was going on and had no desire to go back where I left off. This one just did not work for me.
    • 3/5
      Karin Slaughter’s Bronx cheer to Millennials. It takes quite a push to get Laura’s 30 year old offspring Andrea out of her parent’s house, it appears. Andrea is the dorkiest creation since The New Girl. However, as we look into Laura’s past, one sees that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Passivity seems to run in the family. She’s been seduced by the left wing of the Boomer Generation. You can’t escape the past, including earlier fictional iterations of the Patty Hearst saga. One nice touch. Laura dispatches the mass murderer with the seeming efficiency of a trained killer. It turns out she was mimicking the futile gesture of a hostage from a past escapade. Also, we learn that she was at one time a piano prodigy, so getting a knife through her hand is a way of cutting the apron strings from her long dead Daddy who forced her to learn the piano when he wasn’t … well I won’t give it away. I regularly use the website fivebooks.com for reading suggestions. Summer Reading 2019: Thrillers, had recommendations by Anthony Franze, organizer of the International Thriller Awards for 2019, and this was one of them. Got the book from the New Haven Public Library. Jacket blurbs were all by fellow thriller writers. You scratch my back, I guess. Not a diss on fivebooks; just don’t trust thrillers solely blurbed by others in the profession.

      I always enjoy Karin's books. This one is a fabulous read. It is told from two different viewpoints. Then and now which is a common technique used. Really great writing and a lot of hard work I am sure.

      This is my first book by Karin Saughter and after reading this, I am going to check out some of her older books. This was a roller coaster ride of a book that kept me turning pages until 2 a.m. just to find out how it all ended. I had a few things figured out before the end but there was still a lot of surprises that I never saw coming.Andrea is 31 years old and living with her mother. She had lived in NYC but came home to help her mom through her cancer scare and never went back. She is a dispatcher at the police department and lives a pretty basic life without any close friends or family other than her mother and her step father who are divorced. Andrea is socially awkward and can't has trouble speaking at all in social situations. Her mom, Laura, has always been the strong person who helped her through her life. When Andrea and Laura are caught in a random violent attack at a shopping mall, Laura intervenes and acts in a way that is unrecognizable to her daughter. Andrea begins to question who her mom really is and when he mom tells her to run and hide, she is determined to find out about her mom's past - for better or worse. This is an incredible book about the love between a mother and a daughter and how far a mother will go to protect her child. I thought that Laura was a wonderful multi-layered character who had a lot of secrets and Andrea, despite her social awkwardness, showed a lot of strength to help her mom. This is a fast-paced thriller, well-written, with solid characters that will keep readers guessing until the end.Thanks to the publisher for a copy of this book to read and review. All opinions are my own.
    • 4/5
      A good read. A little unrealistic but I liked the way she managed to live.
    • 4/5
      I really like this author and have read everything she has ever written. I'm especially partial to her Grant County-Will Trent series but have read and enjoyed her stand alone books also. I approached this one with a fair amount of caution and tried not to form any opinions based on some really low ratings I had seen. Even though the book started out rather slow it soon picked up with the two main characters, Andrea and Laura. I truly couldn't work up much compassion for Andrea. She was like and android on Ritalin and she has raised a 31-year old who is going on 15. The redeeming feature of the book was the story in itself. Who was this woman and what had she been running from for most of her life? If you are a Karin Slaughter fan you will more than likely find enough to carry you to the conclusion. if you are a new reader to this author you may want to start with a few Will Trent series before this one.
    • 5/5
      Really different and very compelling.
    • 3/5
      This is my third Karin Slaughter and it was a decent read but not a show stopper for me. I know she is a very popular author so maybe it's just me that doesn't seem to jive. This was an interesting story but something kept me from be completely enmeshed in the experience. Maybe it felt a bit long? Maybe it was the completely inept MC? I'm not sure. But, in the end, it was a good plot, well written and kept me interested enough to keep reading and find out what happened. So - job well done! I would like to thank Jellybooks and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this book to read.
    • 4/5
      This edge-of-your-seat thriller goes back and forth in time between 1986 and 2018. Stunning revelations punctuate the story from the very beginning, set in August, 2018. Andrea (“Andy”), 31, is living at home with her mother in Belle Isle, Georgia. Andy’s life has pretty much been a failure up to this point, and Andy lacks confidence and quick-wittedness, especially in comparison to her popular and competent mother Laura. Laura Oliver is 55, and works as a speech therapist. As the story opens, the two are at a diner at the mall when a killer comes into the diner and starts shooting. Andy is paralyzed with fear, but her mother takes matters into hand. Afterwards, although her mother is injured, she roughly tells Andy to move out that very night. It’s all very bizarre. Andy wonders, who was this woman who could do what she did? Who was her mother? The shocks are only just beginning for Andy. She left to go stay at her dad’s house, but decided to go back for her bicycle. She discovers Laura in yet another life-or-death situation. This time Andy reluctantly helps, with horrendous consequences. She is forced to flee - her mother gives her money and an address for a storage facility in a small town hours away. Andy realizes she has never known her mother; she has only seen pieces. She knows only that she might be followed, and the level of tension is almost unbearable.Then the narration switches to 1986 and we find out a bit more about Laura’s life. This doesn’t mean the action slows at all, however. The twists and turns on the road to enlightenment for the reader seem like driving on narrow switchbacks over the mountains. I admit to doing what I rarely do, which is occasionally paging ahead so I could breathe sufficiently to make it through the next segment of the story.In the end, a final twist caught me totally unawares.Evaluation: I’ve read a great deal of Karin Slaughter’s books, and this one felt very different than the others. But I’m not complaining!
    • 4/5
      This was my first Karin Slaughter book, and as I've been really picky of late as to which thrillers I will read, I took a chance on this one. So many popular thrillers just don't live up to the hype for me. This one did though. It's an edge-of-your-seat book that will have you wildly turning pages or flipping screens as the case may be. It all starts with a bang when Andrea (Andy) is with her mother Laura having lunch in a diner that they frequent regularly in their southern home. A young man walks in with a gun and starts shooting up the place, killing a mother and her teenage daughter right in front of Andy's eyes. But what stops her heart is the way that her usually calm and serene mother handles the situation. She confronts the shooter, putting herself between Andy and him. Andy's whole world changes from this day forward. She discovers "pieces" of her mother as each day passes as she's on a cross-country road trip trying to find out more about her mother. She even confronts a killer in mother's home, and deals with him in a way she never thought she could. As we read we go back and forth between the 1986 and 2018, and from the southern states to Texas and Indiana and all places in-between. There is a lot of blood and guts, and numerous dead bodies along the way, but apparently that is Ms. Slaughter's signature, and the way she handles it in her writing makes it not just "shock-value", but intricate pieces to the puzzle. There are lots of intriguing twists in both timelines, but we grow with Andy as she learns about her mother's past life. My only complaint is that there were a lot of dangling strings in the plot. Some were tied up nicely, others were tied up messily, and some that were not tied up at all. But this is a great thriller, and I recommend it for anyone who likes this genre. I may have to read more of Karin Slaughter's work.

      This is the story of Andrea Oliver who left her life in New York City to return home to nurse her mother through her breast cancer. One day at a mall Andrea discovers a different side of Laura as her mother ends up killing a man. After this, Laura tells Andrea to just leave, but provides her with enough clues so Andrea starts to learn more about her mother and her history. In the end Laura still has some secrets but it is a fascinating look at militant groups, who joins them and why, as well as how they work. There were some interesting insights and some compelling drama, making it an enjoyable read.
    • 4/5
      Karin Slaughter's latest is Pieces of Her.Her own life has had its ups and downs, but the one person Andrea could always count was her mother Laura. Laura has lived in the same city for over thirty years, she's recognized as a community leader, speech pathologist, reliable, kind, generous and more. But when Laura and Andrea are caught in the middle of a shooting, Laura reacts unexpectedly. And after the event, she won't talk about it and tells Andrea to leave - now. Andrea procrastinates and again witnesses her mother in another unthinkable situation. A cryptic set of instructions send Andrea on a search for the past.Who is her mother - or rather who was she? What a great premise!Pieces of Her is told in alternating POV's from Andrea and Laura, both past (1986) and present (2018). The beginning belongs to Andrea and the tension of those first chapters is almost unbearable - I was tempted to commit the sin of peeking ahead and then going back. And where Slaughter takes her story next is completely unpredictable - I did not see what was coming at all. Laura's history was genuinely a surprise. But you know what they say - you can't keep the past buried. Past and present have collided and how it plays out is a non-stop, action filled read. I did find some of the plot a bit improbable and needed to take it with a few grains of salt, but this didn't detract from my enjoyment of the book.My feelings for both women changed over the course of the book many times. Andrea is an immature whiner in the beginning, but grows as she pursues her search for answers. And I'd have to say the same for Laura. Present day Laura is kick-butt, but the Laura of the past is weaker as well.Pieces of Her was a good, albeit somewhat different read from Slaughter. I enjoyed it, but am hoping Will is due for a new book next up.
    • 5/5
      Pieces of Her asks: What if everything you thought you knew about your quiet, middle-age mother was wrong? What if she has spent the past 30 years hiding in plain sight? What if, when violence erupts at your local mall and a shooter goes on a rampage, the person who stops him, dead, is your mother? What if everything you thought you knew changed in an instant? Pieces of Her follows Andrea, a woman who thought she knew everything about her mother, Laura, until the moment she realized she didn’t, and their world unravels.We know all about our parents, especially if they are staid or boring or conventional, predictable, successful in ways that we are not. At least we think we know all about them. Andy certainly thinks she knows her mother, Laura. Laura has survived cancer and a divorce and has a successful career. She’s supportive of Andy but Andy always feels she’s disappointing her mother. And Andy, frankly, is pretty much a loser, a misfit, a slacker who by the age of 31 still can’t stick with anything and is back home living over her mother’s garage. Her thoughts and actions seem like those of a whiny, insecure teenager. And then suddenly nothing is the same, nothing is as Andy thought it was. This new Laura, this new mother, is someone Andy doesn’t know at all and she is hiding things or lying. The first part of the story is fast-paced, exciting and scary. But when things become even worse (how can that be?) and Laura tells Andy to leave town, the story takes on another aspect entirely and now in addition to being fast-paced, exciting and scary, it’s supremely intriguing with endless twists and turns and hints and clues. When Andy goes “on the run” you expect her to fold, to make mistakes. And she does make mistakes. Her actions cause a lot of dangerous, unexpected reactions, but we also begin to see a stronger side of Andy. She is fiercely determined to find out just who her mother is, or was, and she is not happy with this new, secretive Laura she is learning about. Laura’s past life and secrets go way beyond “my mother was kind of wild in her youth, drinking and fooling around.” The more she learns the less she likes, but Andy must find the truth about Laura, and about herself.Pieces of Her opens with a short prologue, specific enough to pique your interest but vague enough that you don’t know who “he” and “she” were and can’t imagine what happened. And so the tension and suspense build, page by page, until you almost want to stop, close the book, cover your eyes, take a breath, because you are on edge fearing what Andy will stumble upon in the present or what will be revealed from 1986. It’s a fast paced page turner with an intricate plot, mixing clue upon clue with stunning twists & events, and a cast of characters you love and hate and feel sorry for and suspect. Events from 30 years ago are still as important and critical and dangerous today as they were then.Pieces of Her is a compelling story that pushes you to the edge of your comfort zone. There are so many personal and family secrets, lies and deception that it’s hard to know who is good and who is evil, and what can be justified in the name of family and human nature.Thanks to William Morrow Harper Collins Publishers for providing me with an advanced copy of Pieces of Her. I was not required to provide a review; my opinions are my own. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and recommend it without hesitation – and I was thrilled to learn that Pieces of Her is currently in development for film and television.
