The Murder Rule

First Rule: Make them like you.
Second Rule: Make them need you.
Third Rule: Make them pay.

Hannah is a third year law student who transfers to University of Virginia from Maine for a semester to join The Innocence Project who are representing Michael Dandridge. The project team is full when she gets there but she soon works her way in and onto Michaels team. However she is not there to free him she is there to make sure he stays in prison.

Her mother Laura has been telling her all her life that Michael killed Hannah's father and assaulted Laura years before. As Hannah gets more involved in the case and sees Michael she begins to question everything.

To me the beginning of the book was a little slow but it was a lot of build up and back story but I flew through the last 25% of it. I was not able to guess the ending and boy was it a good one.

Thank you to Netgalley and William Morrow for the advanced copy.
