A review by katykelly
The Good Father by Noah Hawley
4.0
I listened to the audio edition and couldn't stop listening!
Did he do it? If he did, why? And if he did, who was to blame?
That's the crux of the book - a Presidential candidate is assassinated, by a young man.
The youth's father refuses to believe in his guilt and obsesses over proving the opposite.
It's a story about guilt, responsibility and what it means to be a parent, with the father's search for the truth and the son's story leading up to the shooting filling the narrative.
Chilling, sad, and thoughtful, it upset me thinking about how every killer is someone's child, was once their baby.
