I am still trying to decide how I feel about the ending as it felt a little lacklustre to what I was anticipating but overall I liked the story. The narrative was well written and captivating. The characters were mostly likeable, albeit morally questionable. I would recommend to anyone who enjoys a good mystery/thriller.

I honestly wouldn’t necessarily say “thriller” . It was more character driven than Thriller . However , it was still a good story line overall

Ruby has murdered three people in her lifetime, but she’s not a sociopath. She’s a therapist and loves her pets and is happily married. But then her beloved husband dies and Ruby is accused of murdering him — but this time she DIDN’T do it.
I always love a story told from the perspective of a murderous woman, and Ruby is one of my new favorites. The story is told in multiple timelines - switching between Ruby’s police interrogation and the events of her past. I don’t want to spoil anything, so I’ll leave off here by saying this smart, twisty debut is perfect for fans of They Never Learn and Jane Doe and that everyone should read it.

I picked this up at the library because I wanted to try a random book that hadn’t been recommended to me. Maybe more of a 2.5? I didn’t love it, didn’t hate it. It was a quick and easy read.

Loved!!! I was lost in the writing and I love when I can’t decide if I want to root for a character or not. I’ll definitely read another book by this author.
