The Good Son Reviews
"Starred Review. [A] provocative thriller that readers won't soon forget." - Publishers Weekly
"Starred Review. The pace here isn’t as rapid as usual, and much of the story is told in flashback or as discourse. But there are twists and tension aplenty - ideas, too." - Booklist
"Gruber… weaves threads together masterfully while successfully exploring themes of family, duty, loyalty, cultural identity and more, without ever slowing the momentum. Smart, tense and vastly entertaining." - Kirkus Reviews
"Starred Review. There are many surprises in this excellent thriller, including its ability to inform." - Library Journal

The Good Son is a Good Read
This is the best book I've read in a long time. As a mother of a son who is in the army now, I've been searching for a book to help me understand that psyche of those who go to war and want to be in the military. This book served that purpose for me and more. I could not put it down.
The author is masterful with each character's development. There are 2 - 3 story lines. This story also gave me insight into Pakistani and Afghan culture that most westerners are not privy to.
Sonia Bailey Laghiri is a kick ass heroine as are her son(s). I'll look for another book by Gruber soon.
