Description
The Whisper Man meets the paranoia of The Blair Witch Project in this terrifying suspense novel from “an exciting new voice in the field of chilling thrillers” (Alex North, New York Times bestselling author).
That’s the one. That’s the girl who’s going to die.
I didn’t believe in the Rule of Three. Not at first. It was just one of those urban myths you hear about all the time. A story my boyfriend told me about a girl cursed by the number three. A girl whose parents had killed themselves after her sibling had died in an accident. Which meant that she was doomed to die too.
Bad things always happen in threes, they say, and they are right. Because it’s happening again.
But this time the curse is coming for me. And worst of all?
It’s coming for you, too.

Reviews
“A rattlesnake of a read coiled and glinting and dangerous -- among the very, very best thrillers I've read in years and years. If you like Gillian Flynn, Riley Sager, or John Connolly -- authors who twist the thriller genre like a balloon animal, whose novels fill your lungs like smoke -- you'll love Sam Ripley. I read The Rule of Three with my heart in my throat (because it's that damn suspenseful) and a smile on my lips (because Ripley's such an audacious storyteller). How extraordinary to find a thriller that takes risks like these -- and how exciting to see those risks pay off. A book to leave you reeling.”
"A completely original, nuanced, one-sitting read that blew me away. Whip-smart dialogue, characters that haunt your dreams and a plot you might just die for. I loved it."
"How rare it is to devour a new thriller with a truly new premise told in a truly new way. In THE RULE OF THREE, Sam Ripley has achieved the near impossible, blending innovative storytelling with fresh, surprising characters fighting for their lives against the very narrative we are racing to read and keep up with. This twisty, dark delight plumbs our all-too-human paranoias and proclivities, upending our expectations of what a thriller can be."
"Ingenious, creepy and compelling. Sam Ripley is an exciting new voice in the field of chilling thrillers."
"THE RULE OF THREE absolutely blew me away. An incredibly intense and original creepy page-turner that made me keep turning the pages in a desperate need to finish it and find out the answers! Utterly paranoia-inducing and brilliant. I loved it. It came for me and now it will come for you!"
