Beschreibung
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 her vicious mother-in-law and a scandal-obsessed public believe 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.

Zusammenfassung
FRESH ENTRY IN A POPULAR GENRE: Female-oriented psychological suspense is immensely popular, and consumer demand for smart new thrillers shows no signs of slowing down. Blood Sugar fits perfectly into the category defined by authors like Riley Sager and Jessica Knoll, while adding its own twist to the genre, with a likable murderer at its heart and a one-of-a-kind voice.

EMMY-WINNING, WELL-CONNECTED AUTHOR: Sascha Rothchild is an Emmy-nominated screenwriter who currently has a development deal at Netflix and has written and produced lauded shows such as Glow, The Bold Type, The Baby-Sitters Club, and The Carrie Diaries. On the feature film side, she recently sold an original pitch, Who Invited Her, in a bidding war to DreamWorks with Reese Witherspoon attached to star. In 2015, Rothchild was named one of Variety's "10 TV Writers to Watch." She has an immense network of stars and influencers eager to help her promote Blood Sugar.

DELICIOUS HOOK: The concept of Blood Sugar is irresistible: a likable, down-to-earth murderer being accused of the one crime she did not commit. Readers will identify with Ruby (perhaps too much!)-and will not be able to stop talking about her and about this novel.

UNFORGETTABLE VOICE: Blood Sugar is truly character-driven, with a likable, acerbic, narrator at its heart. There is a humor and cheekiness to the read that gives it real heart, and makes the novel a standout.
