House Rules by Jodi Picoult


1. Clean up your own messes.
2. Tell the truth.
3. Brush your teeth twice a day.
4. Don’t be late for school.
5. Take care of your brother; he’s the only one you’ve got.

These are the "House Rules".

Emma Hunt is a single mom of two teenage boys, Jacob and Theo. Theo seems to be an average sixteen year old kid, he loves skateboarding, listening to music, and is embarrassed by the thought of his family. Jacob… isn’t so average. Jacob is eighteen years old, loves crime scene investigation, and has Aspergers. The Hunt household will never be the same, now that Jacob is the top suspect in the murder of Jess Ogilvy, his personal tutor. Emma is willing to do anything to keep her family intact. Before she can do this, she needs some very important questions to be answered; “What is Theo hiding?” and “Did Jacob kill that girl?”
Find out exactly what happened, in Jodi Picoult’s "House Rules".

This book was a little slow at first, but very interesting. Once I got about halfway through, I could not put the book down. House Rules is the perfect mystery novel, it lets you play detective while the case is progressing. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is willing to spend a little extra time reading.
