Andy Barber has been an assistant district attorney in his suburban Massachusetts county for more than twenty years. When a shocking crime shatters their New England town, Andy is blindsided by what happens next: his fourteen-year-old son is charged with the murder of a fellow student. As the crisis reveals how little a father knows about his son, Andy will face a trial of his own-- between loyalty and justice, between truth and allegation, between a past he's tried to bury and a future he cannot conceive.

Review of 'Defending Jacob' on 'Storygraph'

4 stars

The plot was great, as were all the twists. What was hard for me to stomach was how sexist Andy was. He was a POS when it came to women. Being in his head while he mentioned just about any woman, any time was not a happy place for me to be. I wanted to boot him in the nuts a lot.
