Rules of Murder, Drew Farthering Series #1 by Julianna Deering
This week I'm going to be reviewing a book that I am half way finished with. I find it appropriate for this type of book in particular because I won't be able to give away all the mystery and intrigue in my review, plus the most important element: WHO DID IT?
There are a few components that set this book apart from other books I mostly read of Christian genre. One, it's told from Drew Farthering's - who is a male - perspective (not in first person), but the author focuses in on Drew's character mostly for the reader. Two, it has murder (actually quite a lot of it to be honest), and three romance is not the most important selling point for this book.
I think if you like the show Castle on ABC you will like this book. Actually, I imagine Drew as Castle, but that's just my personal take. By the end of chapter four there are already two deaths, and before the reader gets to chapter 10 Drew uncovers a shocking discover about himself. This book has it all.
Drew loves a good mystery, and when he finds it on the grounds of his estate he with the help of his best friend Nick Dennison, an avid mystery reader, and Madeline Parker, a whip-smart American staying as a quest, embark on an adventure to try and solve the mystery using the methods of their favorite novels.
Now the game has began and the trio have to fight to remain one step ahead of the killer, while overall deciding how far to take this game.
I give this book a four bookshelves out of five as of now and it will probably stay that way once I finish! Looking forward to finishing this novel and seeing what else Deering has in store for her readers!
