This was another good Ruth Ware mystery thriller. I loved the stakes and the running. I feel like I really got to know Jack and Gabe’s live story and am heartbroken over everything. I guessed the person responsible early on as we had a very small cast of characters, but it felt earned and not super obvious.

A different approach to a book exploring hacking.
One comment though - I HATE the use of “have a paddy” as a phrase, it’s an insult used by English people to insult the Irish. Kindly don’t, it’s colonialist BS.

Zero Days by Ruth Ware
⭐️⭐️ (2/5)
Genre: Thriller
About 355 pages
Jack knows her way around security systems better than the average person. She works with her husband, Gabe, to do pen testing. Gabe runs the cyber security tests while Jack tests the on-site/physical security. After what appears to be a normal test, Jack returns home to find her husband dead. She is obviously distressed and determined to find her husband’s killer. But the only person the police are looking at is her. In an effort to prove her innocence and find her husband’s killer, she goes on the run. Not only does she need to evade the police but she must deal with betrayals as she finds out who she can trust.
Starting positive, Ruth Ware’s writing style never fails to hook me. Her books are always fast-paced and hard to put down. While that was true for this book, Ware made it too easy to find out who was responsible for Gabe’s murder VERY early in this book. I was still engaged through the end since Jack’s journey evading the police did have some exciting scenes. However, this one just missed the mark for me 😕
