The plot of The Murder Rule by Dervla McTiernan is filled with stunning twists and turns which make for a terrifically good mystery story. Hannah is a young woman on a mission to right a wrong and find justice for her mother, Laura.
The way in which Hannah goes about getting herself accepted into the Innocence Project is quite ingenious and the story takes off from there. It is wonderfully refreshing to read something totally new and different in the crime/mystery genre. Hannah’s course of action emanates entirely from what she has learned from her mother’s diary, the contents of which are revealed in alternating chapters with the third person account of Hannah’s progress. Hannah’s investigations involve risks and at times danger to herself and others as she discovers all is not necessarily as it seems.
This is such a well written book that it was an absolute pleasure to read. It is full of surprises, tension and moments of heart-stopping action. It deserves all the accolades which I am sure are coming its way!
