Read and reviewed in exchange for a free copy from Netgalley. This book was well-paced, and Cleo and Viv were both likeable main characters. Way created tension well, and ultimately unveiled an excellent twist.

The book starts with a dead man and then goes back in time to tell how he came to be killed.
Vivienne and her mother, Stella, have had a difficult life after the murder of Ruby, Vivienne's sister when she was sixteen and pregnant. The boyfriend of Ruby was jailed for her murder but has been released and is looking for revenge. He says he is innocent and means to prove it.
I really enjoyed the first two thirds of the book which follows the lives of Vivienne and Stella and Vivienne's daughter but towards the end it became apparent that the author just wanted to get things wrapped up and finished. I found the plot became more and more implausible and rushed. It spoiled an otherwise enjoyable read.

Brilliant suspenseful, had me guessing right to the end (almost)
What a surprise when the killer is actually revealed!

This was a really great read that kept me wondering and guessing right until the very last page. Would highly recommend!

At eight years old, she was a witness to her sister's murder and her evidence was crucial in convicting the man who has spent thirty years in jail for the crime. Now a parent herself, she starts to receive bizarre reminders of Ruby- then a threat to her own daughter's life forces her to re-examine what she remembers from that day.
After an intriguing opening the book starts at a slow pace which ramps up in the second half where the writing intensified and kept me on edge. The characters were believable and easy to invest in emotionally, and whilst the ending was a scenario I had considered it certainly wasn't the only outcome I had imagined on this journey. An enjoyable thriller and exploration of mothers, daughters and the secrets that can crack open their relationships.
I would like to thank NetGalley and HarperCollins UK for the ARC I received in exchange for an honest review.

Spanning decades, this story clearly shows the devastation that is experienced by surviving family members when a loved one is murdered. The plot switches back and forth between when the main character was young and when she is an adult still trying to deal with the damage caused by the murder of her older sister. She needs to confront and challenge her memories but is resistant to immersing herself in the pain of them until an event happens that forces her to do exactly that. Well written with a comprehensive plot that gives nothing away as to what the final outcome is going to be.

I wasn't overly convinced with this plot, although it was fast-paced and well-written. It just didn't grip me.

Camilla Way has written another most satisfying psychological thriller to keep her reader's entertained.

When she was just eight year's old Vivienne was the only person home when her sixteen year old sister, Ruby was killed. It was Vivienne's evidence that she knew who went into Ruby's bedroom that day and it was because of her that the man responsible was put behind bars. But, that is all in the past and Vivienne now has her own daughter...

If you enjoy a good yarn and are able to suspend belief enough to put yourself fully within the pages I am sure you will, as I did, enjoy this one!

Good psychological thriller. Suddenly the story develops a quick pace and comes to an end.liked the character of Vivienne, despite all her hardships in her childhood life , she raises up her daughter and when her daughter gets lost she goes to no end to get her back .

This is an easy to read, gripping book full of twists and turns. Cleo and her mum are wrapped up in a complicated family history. With the release of Ruby's murderer, the secrets begin to be revealed and the truth is more sinister than we could possibly imagine.

This novel is intriguing from the outset Viv and Margo are covered in blood standing over a corpse - immediately I wanted to know the who, what and why? The story goes back to a couple of months before and there are twists and turns but they are predictable, even down to the killers identity. It was well written and the dialogue itself was good but it was a little in credulous in places.

Thanks to Harper Collins and Netgalley for sending me this in exchange for an open and honest review.

The opening chapter drew me in, I instantly wanted to know who killed Ruby. The second half of this book had me totally gripped. I couldn’t put it down and the ending took me by surprise.

A fantastic psychological thriller which will have you guessing till the end. I love psychological thrillers and this one did not disappoint. A must read.

My thanks to Harper Collins and Camilla Way for the ARC of WHO KILLED RUBY?
A dark and mysterious story, just the way I like them. I found it difficult to get into but I'm glad I stuck with it. Lots of twists and turns, a very good psychological thriller which kept me guessing until the end. 4 stars

I wasn't sure when I first picked this book up to read but I am really glad I stuck with it. The story is based around Vivienne who saw her sister Ruby killed when she was a small child. Viv was hiding in the wardrobe and identified the killer who spent 30 years in prison. Her mother Stella took Viv and moved to join a commune.
Years later Viv has her own daughter Cleo when she starts to receive awful gifts all relating to Ruby.
This is a great read, dark characters, deep secrets and thrilling. I would definetly recommend.

Whenever I read a highly rated thriller of late, I feel like I do not belong to the times I live in. I do not 'see' what others seem to find in it. Are all thrillers this direct? My musings do not mean that it was a bad book, quite the contrary. I liked the plot and the fact that it took me a few false turns around the plot before revealing the actual culprit.

We have Viv, who has spent decades living with the fact that it was her testimony that had put her sister's killer behind bars, or did it? Now, years after the fact, wheels seemed to be in motion to reveal the hidden facts from all those years ago. She has a close-knit group of family and friends who support her but they might need to do more soon! I felt like the narration was not for me, it introduces people only to advance the plotline. Every carefully orchestrated situation is actually to either throw false leads our way or actual hints. There is not much of an extra ambience. I keep trying popular thrillers hoping to find the right one, this one was almost there but not quite.

I recommend it highly to readers of this genre though, since they are more familiar with the tone and pacing of the narration to enjoy it more than I did. As mentioned earlier, the twists in itself were well placed.

I received an ARC thanks to NetGalley and the publishers but as you can see, this review is completely based on my own reading experience.

A slow start but it got really exciting and i couldn't put it down. What I call a real page turner, I couldn't figure out who till the end killed ruby . A very good book

Who Killed Ruby? Well I didn’t guess the ending to this at all so well done Camilla Way.
Vivienne and Ruby are sisters but Ruby has been murdered at just 16 years old along with her unborn son, her sister Vivienne only 8 years old at the time witnessed the murder and was found in a wardrobe hiding hours later. Jack Delaney Was found guilty for the murder, Ruby’s boyfriend and father of the unborn baby, and served 30 years for it. On the anniversary of Ruby’s murder Vivienne is sent some partly dead Irises and Vivienne sets about trying to find out the real truth when matters are turned up quite a few notches.
This was a book I read very quickly, I enjoyed the twists and the red herrings and felt the characters were well formed and real. I also liked how he book never felt like it slowed down at all throughout the twisted tale.

Who Killed Ruby? is a perfectly crafted psychological thriller that had me at its mercy from the beginning.

There was a breadth of characters within the story who were unique, intriguing and well fleshed out. Each one fed off the others wonderfully, painting a believable backdrop to Vivienne and Ruby’s formative years and I could, pretty much, imagine them as real people. There were elements in this novel that shocked me which was great, as it demonstrated just how invested I was in the characters and their lives.

New-to-me author, Camilla Way's writing style was perfect for me. It was skilful, atmospheric yet simple and there was perfect balance between the description, action and dialogue.

I love thrillers and I was always going to enjoy this novel, getting through it fairly quickly. The plot was intense and fast-paced and kept me second-guessing everything. I was totally immersed in this disturbing, taut and utterly compelling book and the conclusion was immensely satisfying. With its extraordinary storytelling, Who Killed Ruby ticked all of my boxes for a first-class psychological thriller. Definitely a book I would highly recommend.

I received a complimentary digital copy of this novel, at my own request, from Harper Collins UK via NetGalley. This review is my own unbiased opinion.

Vivienne remembers some of what happened the day her older sister, Ruby, was killed. She definitely remembers who the murderer was - Ruby's boyfriend, Jack. Now, many years later, Vivenne's daughter, Cleo, is kidnapped, and her desperate search culminates in a man lying dead on the blood-soaked floor. Was this Ruby's murderer come back to finish off the rest of the family, or is the truth much worse?

The original synopsis to the book was incredibly intriguing, however, the book itself turned out to be rather pedestrian. I found that I had worked out the majority of the plot quite early on. It was quite well written but I found it stretched credulity a little in places. An entertaining read but I expected a bit more judging from the synopsis.

Thanks to NetGalley and publishers, HarperCollins UK, for the opportunity to read an ARC.

This book had a shocking twist to it which i didnt expect. It did feel a bit long winded in some sections but it was a good novel.
