Blood Sugar, Sascha Rothchild

I couldn’t put this one down. Ruby Simon is being investigated for murder, four to be exact, but she is only guilty of three.

Throughout Ruby’s life, she has found herself in the right place at the right time, to commit murder. Now, let it be said, that Ruby is not crazy, on the contrary, she is fair, and well-thought out, and a psychologist who understands the art of how to keep her cool; or at least look it.

When Ruby is looked at in the death of her husband, a known type-1 diabetic who died of too-low blood sugar, her life and all her previous choices begin to spiral. If all the people in her past actually put the pieces together, they may come to the conclusion that Ruby is not what she seems.

Sasha Rothchild, an acclaimed screenwriter, has knocked her debut out of the park. I give Blood Sugar an enthusiastic 5/5 stars!
