5 stars! woww

Ruby is being accused of her late husband's murder. Which is outrageous, because she obviously didn't kill her own husband! But.... She did kill others....

The book runs on two story lines. One is right now, as she is sitting with the detective, being accused. And another, running us through her whole life starting childhood, and her other murders. To top it all, Ruby is a therapist - she prides herself on knowing people and judging them correctly.

I was taken by this incredibly fast-paced novel! It plays it Miami too, making it a great summer read. Ruby is so dang likeable, that the murders of her past feel basically justified. The people she has offed seem like they had it coming. I found myself loving her, and rooting for her, despite everything going on.

HIGHLY recommend!
