Defending Jacob

Defending Jacob by William Landay
Assistant District Attorney Andy Barber is on the stand at the Grand Jury investigation recalling details from the murder case - a bloody fingerprint, a serrated hunting knife, a handful of Facebook accusations - clues that seem to point in one direction - his own 14 year-old son. As an audiobook, Grover Gardner's cool, calm, and collected narration was perfectly matched to courtroom testimony told through flashbacks - all the more chilling for its control even without much character differentiation. His voice wrapped around my heart like a cold hand from the opening line until the final punch to the gut with the surprise ending.
