What a great read! Intriguing, good character development, interesting premise and plot. The story takes place in Newton, MA, which is a comfortable, well-to-do suburb of Boston. A murder takes place and it's a young teenage boy, Ben Rifkin, stabbed in the park on his way to school. Jacob Barber ends up getting charged in the murder - he happens to be the son of Andy Barber who is the Assistant District Attorney, and he is well respected in the community.
But as we learn more, the fact that Jacob is accused is not so far-fetched. Turns out that Andy comes from a lineage of murderers. Does Jacob have this gene? Why hasn't Andy told his wife Laurie about his relatives - his father!
The story is suspenseful and gripping and the end is a shocker! But I won't give it away.
