I will pick up anything that Ruth Ware writes.
"Zero Days" is the latest action-packed thriller from Ruth War. Jack and her Husband, Gabe, make a living breaking into different business to help show the businesses where their security is lacking. Jack is on-site being the badass spy she is, while Gabe is working remotely trying to hack the business's computers to help Jack get through the building unscathed. After another successful job, Jack returns home to find Gabe dead. Unfortunately for Jack, she quickly becomes the prime suspect, and she will have to become a fugitive to figure out who killed Gabe and why.
This was such an enjoyable read. Given her background and career choice, it made her character's actions much more plausible. She knows how to hide in plain sight, and she knows how to get to the information she needs. Jack is such a strong character to read about. Despite losing the love of her life horrifically, she is able to pick herself up and fight. She will not stop until she uncovers why Gabe was so brutally murdered.
I really loved how Jack's sister loved and supported her unconditionally and without question. When Jack needed her to do something, or bring her something, she did not bat an eye or question it. She epitomized the "if I had to bury a body, I would call____".
Everything about this book felt real, which made it all the more thrilling. When it is revealed why Gabe was murdered, it made complete sense, and it could 1000% be plausible in today's world. Additionally, every move Jack took made sense. I felt like I was right next to her trying to figure out what was going on.
I could not put this book down, and I binged it all in one day. Ruth Ware is an immensely talented author, and I look forward to seeing what she writes next!
