The Good Son by Jacquelyn Mitchard

3.0

Mitchard is always good if you like a domestic thriller with deep characters.
She did not disappoint with The Good Son.
Thea's son Stefan was a good son. Until at 17, while under the influence of drugs, he killed his childhood girlfriend in a brutal beating. Now three years later he is being released from prison. How do you pick up the pieces after something so tragic? Can you continue life as normal? Thea's family has been so broken but she has to try, for Stefan's sake. Stefan who can't remember what happened that terrible night. How could her son have done such a horrible thing? We think we know our kids but do we? Deep down though we question everything as Thea does.
It seems that she's not the only one that questions the murder and that someone is not happy her son is free now.
A well woven suspense that keeps you guessing till the end and makes you think, what would I do or believe?
