Defending Jacob by William Landay

3.0

This novel revolves around the trial of the narrators son, Jacob, who has been accused of murdering his classmate. Made somewhat more interesting by the behind the scenes look at this family's implosion, and the reveal of the narrators hidden family secrets. My opinion was that this was the typical, predictable courtroom drama....until the end completely blindsided me. How far would you go to protect your child from others, or himself?
