Jodi Picoult's "House Rules" throws readers headfirst into a moral and emotional labyrinth, challenging our preconceived notions of justice, family, and the very definition of "normal." Get ready to have your perspective irrevocably altered.
Picoult, a master of exploring complex ethical dilemmas within the framework of a compelling narrative, delivers her seventeenth novel, "House Rules," with her signature blend of meticulous research and heart-wrenching storytelling. The novel centers around Jacob Hunt, a teenager with Asperger's Syndrome, whose intense fascination with forensic science places him squarely in the crosshairs of a murder investigation. When his social skills tutor, Jess Ogilvy, is found dead, Jacob's unique behaviors and obsessive tendencies make him the prime suspect. The ensuing legal battle and the unraveling of family secrets form the crux of this gripping tale.
