The Good Father by Noah Hawley
4.0
Hawley tells a story by sucking you in slowly. Like Before The Fall, The Good Father has a major incident happen and then you learn more about the characters through memories or journals or from a third-person POV. Because this is about a political figure's assassination, Hawley includes details from other assassinations and infamous murders. They were interesting reads and added to my analysis of Daniel.
This is not a happy story, no real revelation occurs, and also like BTF, the mystery and thrill of reading leads to a sort-of letdown. That's not necessarily a bad thing; you hold out hope with Daniel's father, Paul, that maybe there is some other reason than the obvious.
