Résumé

Présentation de l'éditeur Jacob Hunt is a teenager: brilliant at maths, wicked sense of humour, extraordinarily organised, hopeless at reading social cues. And Jacob has Asperger's. He is locked in his own world - aware of the world outside, and wanting to make a connection. Jacob tries to be like everyone else, but doesn't know how. When his tutor is found dead, all the hallmark behaviours of Jacob's syndrome - not looking someone in the eye, odd movements, inappropriate actions - start looking a lot like guilt to the police. And Jacob's mother must ask herself the hardest question in the world: is her child capable of murder? Revue de presse A national favourite . . . touching and emotive. ( Sunday Express) It's impossible not to get immersed in this intricate and fascinating drama. ( Cosmopolitan Book of the Month) Brilliant. Absolutely gripping, insightful and very sad. ( SHE Book of the Month) Impossible to put down and stayed in my mind long after I had finished. ( Observer) HOUSE RULES is utterly gripping.
