Blood Sugar by Sascha Rothchild // I could just kill you right now! It’s something we’ve all thought at one time or another. But Ruby Simon has actually acted on it. Three times, to be exact. Though she may be a murderer, Ruby is not a sociopath. She is an animal-loving therapist with a thriving practice. She’s had long-lasting relationships and a husband, Jason, whom she adored. But the homicide detectives at Miami Beach PD have doubts about that happy marriage. When we meet Ruby, she is in a police interrogation room, suddenly accused of killing her husband. But this is one murder that she did not commit, even if a scandal-obsessed public believes differently. As she undergoes questioning, her mind races back to all the details of her life that led her to this exact moment, and to the three dead bodies in her wake. Because while she may not have killed her husband, Ruby certainly isn’t innocent.
