Story
It takes only one person to break the silence. When solicitor Finn Fitzpatrick is approached by a man to investigate the death of his daughter, her first instinct is to refuse. The father is grieving and unable to accept that his daughter committed suicide. And yet something about the man’s story chimes with Finn. Why did a bright, confident, beautiful young girl suddenly drop out of school, isolating herself from everyone who cared about her? Could it be that the father's suspicion is right and that his daughter was groomed and abused by the most famous film director in Ireland?

Story
It's June 2008 and 21-year-old Adam Lattimer vanishes, presumed dead. The strain of his disappearance breaks his already fragile family. Ten years later, with his mother deceased and siblings scattered across the globe, Adam turns up unannounced at the family home. His siblings return reluctantly to Spanish Cove, but Adam's reappearance poses more questions than answers. The past is a tangled web of deceit. And, as tension builds, it's apparent somebody has planned murderous revenge for the events of 10 years ago.

The other four children say Ivy is dead.

Crime and Drama
It took me a few chapters to get into this I also had to Re listen at times… but as the story unfolded it the characters became interesting as in discovering some things were not what they seemed great ending and realisations. Recommend for those who love crime and drama.

Enjoyable except for the third narrator Michael Crouch
A good story with complex charaters and twists ruined by the wooden performance of the third narrator Michael Crouch. His reading was terrible, it ruined the whole experience for me.

The Murder Rule
Really enjoyed this book! Great storyline. Well presented by the narrators. A wee bit predictable but still it had enough twists and turns to keep it interesting. I’d be interested in reading the next book about Hannah to see exactly where she ends up, but sadly I think that’s unlikely, boo hoo.
