Zero Days by Ruth Ware is a middle-of-the-road thriller, but it won’t be a memorable read for me.
Synopsis
Jack and her husband Gabe test company security systems by breaking into them. Jack handles the physical breaking-in while Gabe hacks the digital end.
After completing a job, Jack heads home to find Gabe brutally murdered. In no time at all, Jack becomes a person of interest. But Jack is innocent and decides to evade arrest.
Review of Zero Days by Ruth Ware
This thriller starts out a bit slow but eventually picks up the pace. It’s told entirely from Jack’s perspective.
Initially, I wasn’t a big fan of Jack. She makes some truly ill-advised decisions, like running from authorities while being interviewed at the police station. And the flirty banter between her and her husband was cringeworthy, even though I’m aware it was supposed to demonstrate their love for each other. But she eventually grew on me with her persistence to find the truth.
The murder reveal was predictable, but I still felt compelled to keep reading.
I’ve enjoyed previous books by the author, but this one felt average. I’ll still definitely read future books.
My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
