I read (listened to) another crime/thriller novel. This one was Defending Jacob by William Landay. The plot involves Andy Barber, his wife, Laurie, and his 14 year old son, Jacob. Andy is a respected assistant district attorney in a suburb in Massachusetts. When another 14 year old boy in his town is found murdered, he leads the investigation. After a few days evidence is found that makes his son, Jacob, a suspect so he is taken off the case. How long can a parent believe in the innocence of their child? How much evidence will it take to make them admit the truth? Andy is a kind and loyal father to Jacob. This novel is being converted to a mini-series on Apple TV. This is the kind of book that is made for a mini-series.
