Pieces of Her by Karin Slaughter

*MINOR SPOILER ALERT*

We all think we know our mothers, as did Andy. Until one morning at a diner, when her mother,Laura,  saves her life by taking another.

Shocked and appalled, Andy realises she doesn't know anything about her mother.

After a series of frightening events, Andy sets out to find out who her mother really is , who she was and why this is happening.

In her absolute naivety, she uncovers things about her mother that are shocking, as well  as things about herself.

I gave this four stars, and not five as it was not as gripping as 'The Good Daughter' and because I hate loose ends...both Laura and Gordon, the step father, speak about the event  that kicked off this story as if they know why it happened. This loose end is just dangling there, a thread I'm hoping Karin Slaughter weaves into another delightfully macabre read...
