The Deepest Secret (1/1/2014)

Defending Jacob
Defending Jacob: A Novel
by William Landay
Defending Jacob (10/2/2011)
I read this book very quickly. It was hard to put down. The character development was excellent, I felt like I was a member of Jacob's family. I predicted some of the events that happened, but it was suspenseful until the end. I would recommend this book to a friend.
