The Andrea Oliver series centers on a young deputy U.S. Marshal who discovers that her mother has been hiding a violent past. Pieces of Her kicked off the storyline with a shooting in a small-town diner that sets Andrea on a path to uncover who her mother really is. Girl, Forgotten continued the story by connecting the present-day investigation to a cold case from decades earlier.
The series is tied to Karin Slaughter’s wider Georgia-set universe. Readers familiar with the Grant County and Will Trent books will recognize overlapping characters and locations, though the Andrea Oliver novels can be read on their own. The focus on family secrets and generational trauma gives these books a different feel from Slaughter’s more procedural work.
