A sensational debut thriller featuring an unforgettable heroine who just might have murdered her mother.
Former "It Girl" Janie Jenkins is acerbic, whip smart, and fresh out of prison. Ten years ago, at the height of her glamour and fame, she was incarcerated for the murder of her mother, a philanthropist best known for her string of rich husbands. Now, released on a technicality, Janie chops off her trademark hair, determined to chase down the one lead she has about her mother's killer. The only problem? Janie doesn't know if she's the one she's looking for.
In an isolated South Dakota town whose secrets rival Janie's own, with the unwitting help of the locals, she pieces together a shocking picture of her mother's supposedly pristine past. On the run from the press, the police, and possibly even a murderer, Janie is forced to choose between the anonymity she craves and the truth she so desperately needs.
A gripping debut novel, Dear Daughter follows every twist and turn as Janie unravels the mystery of what happened the night her mother died - whatever the cost.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"When former It Girl Janie Jenkins is released from prison, she embarks on a mission to discover if it was really she who murdered her mother. The debut novel’s twists will easily hook you, but it’s the narrator’s dark wit and sharp observations that make this a truly fun read." (Entertainment Weekly)
"Little keeps you guessing until the end - and then closes her book with a final, twisted flourish." (Daneet Steffens, The Boston Globe)
"Compelling.... This novel's engrossing suspense comes from its unreliable (and not especially likable) narrator who pursues answers with relentless fervor, regardless of the painful truths she turns up about herself.... Excellent." (Stephanie Klose, Oprah.com)

Some of the aspects of the book were inventive enough, but the solution to who murdered Jane’s mom was a bit Scooby Doo - you can picture tearing off a mask so totally. If you believe in karma, the wages of sin, Murphy’s Law or any similar claptrap, Jane’s ultimate fate will satisfy you, but even for me it was pretty good.
Jane’s basic story is told in the first person, but there are interruptions from CNN, TMZ and a blogger named Trace. All of these are done with musical intros and outros and a male narrator takes over. At first it was jarring and somewhat annoying, but overall I think it was a great way to take advantage of the medium. Giving us each and every sound of text messages coming through was a bit much though.
Creatively presented, but smacks of Scooby Doo

Somewhat hard to follow, but that could have been due to my tuning in and out at times from the slow movement of the book.
Good concept though
