Vivenne's sister Ruby was killed thirty two years ago, she still has nightmares about it. Vivien was a key witness in the murder trial as she saw the man run away from her home. The book centres on the three women, Stella (the mother), Vivienne and her daughter Cleo. Now, the man convicted of Ruby's murder has been released from prison. The book starts off with three people standing over a dead body saying "what are we going to tell the police". This part is told in the future. We then go back in time where the story unfold and the tension builds up.

This was one quick roller coaster of a read. There are red herrings galore. I could not read this book quick enough, wanting to find out exactly what had happened to Ruby. This book has been well researched, especially the part about EMDR treatment, which is well explained. I never once guessed the ending. I had no idea at all. I do recommend this book.

I would like to thank NetGalley, HarperCollins UK, HarperFiction and the author Camilla Way for my ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Thanks Netgalley and the Publisher. What a great totally addictive read and would highly recommend to other readers. 5 stars all the way

The first thing that we learn is that 16-year-old Ruby is dead. Her little sister Viv is the only witness and her evidence secures the conviction of Ruby’s boyfriend, the father of her unborn child. But Viv struggles with what really happened that day. Why can’t she actually remember the things that she said she did?
Years later, Viv is living with her daughter Cleo when the past comes back to haunt her. She must find a way of reliving that dreadful day if she is to save her family and find out who really did kill Ruby.
Easy to read because I wanted to find out what happened next. A real page turner.

This book had everything for me. I could not put it down. It captured my imagination from the very first page. The ending was, for me unexpected. I found myself thinking about the book when I was not reading it and that is always a good sign. The book starts with a flash forward and this sets the scene. The characters are interesting and the book is well written. What more is there to say. One of the best.

The book begins with three people staring at a body on a kitchen floor drenched in blood and one of them asking what they should tell the police. The truth will be the simplest answer. What is the truth and how will telling the truth affect the witnesses? These are questions that came to mind after reading the book. Who killed Ruby is the real question and the body they are staring at is not Ruby's. The book tells the story of Vivienne whose sister Ruby was murdered thirty-two years ago. Vivienne is still having nightmares about the murder and the body they are staring at should provide closure but does it? This book was difficult to put down and I can only describe the feeling as being taken on a journey with many bends and turns and waiting to see what is around the next bend. The red herrings and twists in this book make it a compelling read

A dead man on the kitchen floor with a knife in his back, a grandmother, mother and daughter in the room, what and who killed him?
When Vivienne was just eight years old she found her sister Ruby and her unborn son Noah dead in her bedroom.
Who killed Ruby is a intense thriller that will keep you guessing until the end.

Brilliant book couldn’t read it fast enough it was very exciting especially at the end loved all the characters and would never have guessed the ending what a shock that was would definitely recommend this book and can’t wait to read other books by this author.

What a brilliant book. This book has a fantastic story line, excellent characters and is just wonderful. I would highly recommend this book to anyone and I enjoyed it immensely.

I'm a huge fan of Camilla Way so I couldn't wait to start reading her latest book. I really enjoyed this mystery of who killed Ruby. There are various suspects to choose from but I didn't want to guess who done it, I just loved the flow of it.

If you passed it on the street, you’d see an ordinary London townhouse.

You might wonder about the people who live there, assume they’re just like you.

But inside a family is trapped in a nightmare. In the kitchen, a man lies dead on the blood-soaked floor. Soon the police will come, and they’ll want answers.

Perhaps they'll believe the family’s version of events – that this man is a murderer who deserved to die.

But would that be the truth?

****
I've needed a good book, to get me out of a book slump, and job done with this book!!

I really enjoyed it. It was a good well written story with plenty of twists and turns, and plenty of red herrings to get you thinking. Definitely recommended by me!

I thoroughly enjoyed this authors first book but this one fell a bit short for me. I struggled to get into it and guessed who it was half way through

I enjoyed reading Who Killed Ruby but my enjoyment was lessened a little by guessing who the villain was a fair way from the reveal. The book was well written and I have read one of Camilla way’s books before which was also good. I would read other books by Camillia.

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley here is the blurb.

Liked the blurb and wanted to read more. The book was easy to read however I did find the pace of the book quite slow at times and I did consider giving up once or twice. I did guess some of the outcome of the book however, not all of it. My favourite character was the mysterious doctor and I would have liked to find out a bit more about his backstory. My least favourite character was Shaun as he was creepy and reminded me of someone in real life!

Overall I thought it was ok but did struggle at times to keep going.

The opening scene of Camilla Way's latest book is explosive. There's a man lying on the floor - he's covered in blood - and the killer tells you that this is the man that killed Ruby. So that answers that then - Who killed Ruby? Obviously...the man lying on the floor covered in blood. Never has a book title been resolved so quickly and suddenly before. Or has it. That is what I absolutely love about this book - I had questions the minute I finished the first few pages. Who is Ruby? Why is she dead? Who killed her? Who killed this man? Who are they...? Who? Who? Who... dynamic and intriguing, I wanted to know more, and that is when Camilla Way hooked me.

That is the sign of a good book. The other sign? As the book progressed I completely forgot that opening scene. Why? Because so much was going on! So much was happening - my attention was instantly diverted elsewhere so that when the book made it's natural progression back to those opening scenes it was like a sudden shock...my gosh yes... this...this...and this...It all makes sense now!

Camilla Way was a brand new author to me - but don't you just love it when you discover a new author and they have a great back-stock of books just waiting to be read. I do. Can't wait to dive in.

* spoiler alert ** With a title like this,it's almost certain that the killer isn't going to be who they say it is.
This is an entertaining read.... it wasn't particularly believable to me,but it kept me entertained for a few hours.
Is guessed who it was by about half way through despite numerous red herrings.
The last few chapters felt a bit like EVERYTHING was being thrown at it.

I loved Camilla Way's first book Watching Edie so I was keen to read this latest book Who Killed Ruby?
This was an absorbing and gripping read from beginning to end. The depth of the characters is fantastic and the story had me gripped and kept me guessing, I just could not put this book down.
I would very highly recommend Who Killed Ruby to anyone, be prepared to be completely drawn in by the amazing characters and the emotional rollercoaster ride.

This book opens with a man dead on the floor surrounded by three people. They will tell the police he killed Ruby. But did he?

I really enjoyed this book, it was a fast read, I think I finished in a few hours over a few sittings. I liked how the opening was really strong and the book went back to go over the events leading up to the events.

We follow Vivienne, Cleo and Stella who have all been affected by Ruby's death in different ways. Vivienne was Ruby's little sister and witnessed her murder when she was a child. This still haunts her and we see how this impacts on her life. I found the section on EMDR interesting, I'd not seen it used in a novel before. It was a good way to bring in the information.

A families darkest secrets come to the front when a 14 year old girl is kidnapped from her family home.... suspects galore ....

This book has a great beginning:. The reader is thrust straight into the action and then the main character and her daughter guide us through the back story and onto th present day. In parts the chief character was inbelievable but in other parts the action was disturbing to read and the plot was gripping! The last chapters contained many surprises and I certainly did not guess how the story would pan out. Therefore I would recommend that the reader stays with this book to the absolute end and be prepared to put it down with a "wow I wasn't expecting that".




reader stays with this book to the absolute end

You know that you were properly immersed in an author’s writing and the world they’ve created when you’re still thinking about it hours after finishing it...

The opening scene sets the pace of the story with a flash-forward, there is a man dead on the floor, and the apparent killers reveal that this is the man who killed Ruby.

Vivienne has never been able to leave her traumatic past behind her. The murder of her beloved older sister and her unborn child continues to plague her dreams. The man who was convicted has always protested his innocence, and Viv cannot remember what actually happened, only what she told the police. When the anniversary of the murder comes around and Viv receives mysterious packages, she fears Jack has tracked her down and is looking for revenge.

Viv’s daughter Cleo is the other perspective in the book. She is online messaging with a guy who will not talk to her on the phone and quite frankly is obviously not a 14 year old boy, so it is not surprising when this leads Cleo to trouble. The only thing that can save her is her mother remembering what happened that fateful day that Ruby was murdered.

However, that is the only part of this story I was able to predict. I was kept guessing, and truly could not have predicted the outcome. I also loved the process of Viv’s memory recollection, getting it back piece by piece with her and experiencing her shock. Very well crafted story that really hooked me from the start. Definitely a sold 4/4.5 stars!
