I did like this book and honestly was surprised that I did. It was not filled with action or plot twists. It kind of slowly plodded through the story going back and forth between the present and past. It revealed the killer early so the booked focused on the why he did it. You need to pay attention as some of the changes between past and present were hard to follow. I also think the author could have eliminated the unnecessary detail. Made the book seem longer than it needed to be. The ending was great. Was the basis for the higher rating despite comments above.
The Good Son
Who can you trust if you can't trust yourself?
Early one morning, twenty-six-year-old Yu-jin wakes up to a strange metallic smell, and a phone call from his brother asking if everything's all right at home – he missed a call from their mother in the middle of the night. Yu-jin soon discovers her murdered body, lying in a pool of blood at the bottom of the stairs of their stylish Seoul duplex. He can't remember much about the night before; having suffered from seizures for most of his life, Yu-jin often has trouble with his memory. All he has is a faint impression of his mother calling his name. But was she calling for help? Or begging for her life?
Thus begins Yu-jin's frantic three-day search to uncover what happened that night, and to finally learn the truth about himself and his family. A shocking and addictive psychological thriller, The Good Son explores the mysteries of mind and memory, and the twisted relationship between a mother and son, with incredible urgency.
