A New York Times Best Thriller of the Year

"Terrific. You might come for the mystery, but you will stay for the sheer energy."--
New York Times Book Review

An utterly delicious debut thriller that tells the story of the most likable murderess you will ever meet, perfect for fans of Riley Sager and Jessica Knoll.


“I could just kill you right now!” It’s something we’ve all thought at one time or another. But Ruby has actually acted on it. Three times, to be exact.

Though she may be a murderer, Ruby is not a sociopath. She is an animal-loving therapist with a thriving practice. She’s felt empathy and sympathy. She’s had long-lasting friendships and relationships, and has a husband, Jason, whom she adores. But the homicide detectives at Miami Beach PD are not convinced of her happy marriage. When we meet Ruby, she is in a police interrogation room, being accused of Jason’s murder. Which, ironically, is one murder that she did not commit, though a scandal-obsessed public believes differently. As she undergoes questioning, Ruby’s mind races back to all the details of her life that led her to this exact moment, and to the three dead bodies in her wake. Because though she may not have killed her husband, Ruby certainly isn’t innocent.

Alternating between Ruby’s memories of her past crimes and her present-day fight to clear her name, Blood Sugar is a twisty, clever debut with an unforgettable protagonist who you can’t help but root for—an addicting mixture of sour and sweet.

Fresh twist on the antiheroine

A really fresh twist on the overdone antihero theme. Rothschild presents terrific moral ambiguity, clever plotting and great character development. Her prose is hip & subtle and her themes rich and sophisticated. Can't wait for her next book!

Soooo goood!

This is a can’t put it down roller coaster ride. You will find yourself rooting for the main character and wondering why! There are moments that are chilling and others that make you feel like you are chatting with an old friend. This is a must read! Great story telling technique. Believable dialogue and great character development. 5 stars

Faded right out.

This story started out well. It kept me interested and looking forward to more. As it went on, it kind of faded out. Nothing exciting or catching in the end. It was just ok.

Laughed when I shouldn’t have

Fun story to listen to. One that I haven’t heard before. Not how I thought the story would end.

Decently good thriller

Overall, the story is very well written and narrated and kept me intrigued. Without spoiling the book, I can say that it is a great psychological thriller, but the end will leave you feeling a bit misguided; like you’re expecting something different to happen but it does not. Despite this, I still enjoyed the book.

Really?

I kept waiting for some twist or something to justify my having spent hours listening. It never happened. What a let down
