Description
From the bestselling author of Cry Baby, The Rule is the dark and thrilling tale of two parents who will go to any lengths to protect their child.
A cunning demonstration of the law of unintended consequences. It is horrific, hilarious and often rather moving
A stomach-lurching descent into parental desperation, full of surprises from start to finish. A gasp-out-loud read after which I dare you to break The Rule...
The master of razor-sharp one liners, David Jackson's The Rule is an absolute belter
Brilliant. Spiralling tension, wit and heart, this is British crime writing at its best
I really enjoyed The Rule. Jackson doesn't do cosy thrillers. You've been warned
An intense and compelling read, that will evoke complicated emotions in every reader. Highly recommended
Excellent as always. Grimy and heartbreaking in equal measure, peppered with Jackson's trademark wit and humour. May be his best yet
Jackson is one of the finest British thriller writers... a thrilling, propulsive and ultimately heart-breaking tale of the lengths a father will go to in order to protect his family
A pacy, smart and darkly funny heartbreaker of a crime novel
David Jackson has done it again. The Rule is incredible. Creepy, emotive, dark tense and disturbing
