When Ruby's husband dies, she suddenly finds herself accused of his murder and questioned about her connection to the deaths of 3 other people. Now, Ruby might be a murderer, but she isn't a sociopath. She loved her husband, and of the 4 deaths she is being questioned about, his is the only one she did not have a hand in.

Blood Sugar is not your standard thriller. In fact, the first person narrative reads like a tell-all, rendering insight into the mind of a successful and pragmatic woman with murderous tendencies.

This is some of the best characterisations I have read in a long time. ππ
You know the writing is good when you find yourself justifying the actions of a killer and thinking, can we be friends. π€£
Blood Sugar had me hooked from the very first chapter all the way through to the last line. I so wish there were more. (I really want to know what kind of Aunty Ruby will be!) I can't want to read what Rothchild writes next.
If you are a fan of Peter Swanson's "π ππͺπ―π₯ ππ°π³π΅π© ππͺπππͺπ―π¨" (which is one of my top 5 favs of all time) or Caroline Kepnes βπ π°πΆβ, then Blood Sugar is your jam!
