Okay first let me add a thriller this was not‼️ It gave lots of suspense and was a good mystery but I didn’t get thriller from this. Maybe I don’t know what a thriller really is 😂 but this wasn’t it in my opinion. To truly be a thriller in my eyes it should have me on the edge of my seat rapidly turning pages craving more. 

Now I did enjoy the book it had a nice twist and loved how the letters were incorporated to reveal some of the family secrets. But I really wanted a little bit more from this; something to really wow me. All we get is a dysfunctional family full of drama, a woman who has a long list of secrets, an adopted son who could careless about the family or the money he inherited, and a wife who’s intentions weren’t as pure as they seemed. One thing I can say is not one character had an issue with killing anybody. There was really a “you get in my way I’ll kill you” type thing going.

Ruby was definitely something else the title should’ve been How the Heiress Got Away With Murder. Killing the first husband I definitely understood but the reasoning for the others not so much. The twist involving Jules was definitely clever but did create a little confusion in the last chapters.

Overall, the book was pretty good a few hit and misses here and there but well-written enough to keep you interested. If it weren’t for the letters Ruby wrote I probably would’ve lost interest before I hit the halfway mark. It was fast-paced, the character development was meh didn’t really connect with any of them, but the drama and secrets kept me going.  Special thanks to the author & @stmartinpress for my gifted copy‼️
