Defending Jacob #1

I really like the start of the book. Andy Barber seems to be the main character. He is an assistant district attorney in his county. Andy has a wife and son, named Jacob. Recently a boy the same age as his son was murdered, and he has taken interest into the case. The incident makes him more appreciative of his son being alive and that the tragic happening didn't occur to his family. I can relate to this because I have seen stories on the news that make me more appreciative of my family. I predict that Jacob will have something to do with this case.
