Read in one sitting. Read it all night. Usually am at least a little bored by Ruth Ware, but this one kept my interest the whole time.

This is probably my favorite Ruth Ware book thus far.

Zero Days is a thrilling novel following pen tester Jack who is trying to figure out who murdered her husband. However, that becomes much more difficult when she’s the police’s number one suspect. Jack goes on the run and uses her pen testing skills to prove who wanted her husband dead and why. 

I really enjoyed Jack’s character and the digital aspect of this novel. It goes to show that we are constantly being monitored and to never trust any software or devices we use because there are always people out there wanting to take advantage of you.
