This is a really gripping legal and family drama. I literally could not put it down! The story involves Andy Barber, an Assistant District Attorney in Newton Massachusetts. A middle school student is murdered in the park near the school and Andy is brought in to handle the case.

Good (not great) courtroom drama. Suspenseful. A little bit slow, but my interest picked up as the book continued.
