Today is our stop on the Random Things blog tour for The Rule of Three by Sam Ripley.
We have all said it – bad things happen in threes. The rule of three, in other words. But where did the saying originate from? Urban myth, legend or scientific truth? How do we find out?
Sam
Riley follows three girls, Amy, Ila and Eve, who have successively lost family
in tragic circumstances. Two catastrophes for each girl – is the third
catastrophe going to be their deaths? Each have
very different approaches to existence and to grief.
Each recalls the rhyme
“ Don`t forget the Rule of Three – it`s coming for you like it came
for me”. All three are terrified,
Amy
begins a journal which is continued by Ila and read by Eve. Are the written
reactions of the girls, who are convinced that the “rule” will come for each of
them, the result of a skewed perception due to
their respective losses or is everything that happens in life pre-ordained?
What is the truth? Who is the real killer?
This
is a book I highly recommend to readers, not only for its originality and
intricacy of thought but for Sam Ripley`s delightful descriptions
and demonic twist at the end. Definitely a story to give you
nightmares...after all, the Rule of Three may well be coming for you, too!
