The Good Daughter is the latest novel from author J.A. Baker to be published via Boldwood Books.
She will have her day of reckoning…
As a teenager, Penny Collins always tried to be a good daughter. Until the night she was brutally attacked as she lay in her bed. The assault, from a man she knew all too well, traumatised Penny. Worse still, after her family refused to believe her initial fears about being watched, Penny told nobody, afraid her family would be convinced she was making the whole thing up…
Now, twenty years later, Penny cares for her elderly mother whose memory is fading daily. Still a good daughter, Penny tries not to think about the past, but her mother seems more insistent to talk about what happened that night…to drag up painful memories.
So when Penny comes face to face with her attacker again, she knows it’s time for her to take action and get answers for them all. This time he’s in the dock where he belongs, accused of the same terrible crime. And Penny, a good daughter and now a good citizen, sits on the jury – his fate finally in her hands…
If only she can convince the others of his guilt…
The Good Daughter is one of those psychological thrillers that grips you from the very first page and does not let go.
J.A. Baker does such a fantastic job pulling us into Penny Collins’s deeply tangled web of trauma, family duty, and long-overdue justice. Penny is honestly such a compelling character — she’s vulnerable, yes, but not fragile.
The author builds rising tension that keeps you turning pages. While the tension is a slow climb (which works!), I think thriller fans who crave nonstop adrenaline might get a tad impatient in the middle.
If you love your psychological thrillers with emotional weight and justice served cold (but deserved), The Good Daughter deserves a spot on your TBR.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (4 out of 5 stars)
