I am in the middle of the book The Pact. The boy is on trial for murder of Emily. Emily's father is in complete denial about him killing his daughter. He trusted the boy more than any other person with his daughter. So, he cannot figure out what happened. Due to the injuries to the boys head he cannot remember. Therefor, he cannot say he is innocent. The antisiapation keeps building up in the book. I cannot put it down.
