985. Dervla McTiernan - The Murder Rule


Better than no.984, but that wasn’t difficult to achieve.

Hannah is convinced by her mother’s diaries that her father was murdered and his mother raped by a man now in prison for another murder. She inveigles her way into a team of quasi-lawyers trying to expose miscarriages of justice and mounting a defence for him, intending to subvert it. But it transpires that her mother’s diaries are fictional in places and the truth is somewhat different.

Not unlike RJ Ellory, although he writes better prose. Not bad, but not special.
