Critics Review
Brilliant and heartbreaking, THE GOOD FATHER is a thriller, a mystery and above all else a savagely contemporary, hugely important story … it will haunt the reader for a long time. - Tony Parsons
It is rare that a novel so considered is also so gripping. Intense and utterly humane, THE GOOD FATHER is a book, the moment you finish it, you just know you will want to read again. A tremendous achievement. - Simon LelicRiveting, moving, unique. This novel deserves to become a classic. - Sophie HannahI read THE GOOD FATHER into the small hours. It is that rare gem: a genuine literary thriller, as deep as it is wide. A beautiful, moving and important novel. - Erin Kelly, author of The Poison TreeAn unblinking look at the ills of modern America, and a conclusion: love might address them in a way that wealth cannot. - Justin Webb, presenter of the Today programme on BBC Radio 4An examination of conspiracy theories and political assassinations. - Mark BillinghamDiscovering a way to be the good father in this context requires great imagination, and Hawley has written a convincing novel about the disturbing endurance of parental responsibility. - The Times Literary SupplementNoah Hawley’s flawless writing and staggeringly impressive narrative authority make THE GOOD FATHER so harrowingly plausible … a memorable, moving and unputdownable masterpiece. - Sunday ExpressAbout The Author
