The Murder Rule

A Novel

By: Dervla McTiernan

Narrated by: Kate Orsini, Sophie Amoss, Michael Crouch

A New York Times best thriller of the year! Read by Kate Orsini, Sophie Amoss, and Michael Crouch

"Matters culminate in a courtroom fireworks display worthy of Perry Mason in his prime. The Murder Rule holds one’s interest from its cheeky opening pages through its final scene." —Wall Street Journal

For fans of the compulsive psychological suspense of Ruth Ware and Tana French, a mother daughter story—one running from a horrible truth, and the other fighting to reveal it—that twists and turns in shocking ways, from the internationally bestselling author of The Scholar and The Ruin.

First Rule: Make them like you.

Second Rule: Make them need you.

Third Rule: Make them pay.

They think I’m a young, idealistic law student, that I’m passionate about reforming a corrupt and brutal system.

They think I’m working hard to impress them.

They think I’m here to save an innocent man on death row.

They're wrong. I’m going to bury him.

What happened Dervla?? Did you have a deadline??

What a disappointment from one of my favorite authors.

Sad because with more time spent, this could have been brilliant! Truly, it was a great story line.

I don’t want to give anything away so I will only say that it is ridiculous that a law student would get where she got so easily and figure things out ahead of the experienced folks she was working with. Seriously disappointing.

Entertaining

Very different from Dervla McTiernan’s other work. I was quite entertained. The final sequence jumped the shark a bit for me, but it was still worth a listen.

Great Story!!

Absolutely loved it and the twists! Highly recommend!! A great suspenseful story and happy to learn about The Innocent Project

Never a disappointment

Dervla never disappoints. Her writing is clever, creative, well-researched… I’ll be impatiently waiting for her next release. She is absolutely brilliant!

A gripping and inventive tale

I enjoyed this book. It is based on a very clever and interesting premise. It has a rather trite ending however.
