Finished: House Rules by Jodi Picoult



This is a really good book. I'm not normally into murder mysteries, but this one has caught my attention.
It is a very good read.

When I started I didn't know anything about Aspergers. The author did a great job explaining it.

Synopsis:
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?
