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.
