I loved this book. Definitely a true psychological thriller. I felt for the first half of the book that I would be giving it 4 stars but the story builds and builds in the second half and the outcome was not quite as I expected.
There are 2 mysteries to unravel - naturally who killed Ruby thirty years ago - hence the title! and who was responsible for tricking ad kidnapping Cleo. I guess there are only a very small number of alternate culprits for Ruby's murder but this storyline is well explained and has several good twists. Who is the kidnapper is cleverly played and I was not certain until he is revealed.
Definitely worth reading

Well written, full of twists and turns, keeps you guessing until the end. Enjoyed this book and would recommend you to read it, you won't be disappointed.

Standby to be totally emmersed in this book. Viv's sister Ruby is killed by her boyfriend and on her account at that time is put away for her murder. All is not what is it seems. She has had niggling doubts and when her own daughters life is at stake she has to try and face her own demons and uncover what really happened on that day before it's too late.
I really enjoyed this book and will look forward to reading more from this author.

A fantastic unputtdownable story.

Tim had always denied the murder and when strange letters and dead flowers turn up on the anniversary of Ruby’s death Vivienne is frightened that Tim is after her.

A great book with lots of twists.

This is a psychological thriller that has a steady pace but then it kicks up a notch and lots of things happen all at once.
Thirty two years ago Ruby was killed and when it happened, Vivienne who was 8 years old, was there at home with her.
A man was arrested and Vivienne says he was the last person she saw going into her sister’s room but the beginning of the book puts a question mark over his guilt.

This is a well written thriller with a satisfying ending.
Thanks to Harper Collins UK and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book.

A complicated thriller involving family and friends which moves swiftly to a very surprising ending. I hadn't a clue.

This is an amazing book, the plot is great, the characters are some of the most intriguing I have read about, many twists and turns I didn't expect. Would recommend this book to anyone.

A good read to have in your suitcase for a holiday. The story keeps you guessing as it goes between the time that Ruby was killed to the present day . A surprise ending . Well worth a read

Viv has had a traumatic childhood. She was only eight years old when her much loved older sister Ruby and her unborn baby were murdered and it was Viv iwho found them. She testified to the police that Ruby’s boyfriend Jack was her killer and he was convicted even though he constantly protested his innocence and vowed to seek revenge. Over thirty years later Viv, her daughter Cleo and her mother Stella are still affected by the tragedy. The opening chapter of the book draws you in as the three of them are standing over the body of a dead man, is he Ruby’s murderer? The book then takes us back over the previous two months that culminate in his death and also events that lead to Ruby’s murder. On the anniversary of Ruby’s death Viv starts to receive mysterious packages which leads her to thinking that Jack had tracked her down. She is still having nightmares about Ruby’s death and is starting to doubt whether Jack was guilty. Alongside this is Cleo’s story. She is fourteen years old and she starts messaging a supposedly fourteen year old boy on her phone unbeknown to Viv. Cleo ends up being kidnapped and Viv is forced to face her demons and relive that eventful night thirty years ago. I thought this book was a brilliant psychological thriller, with interesting characters and a plot that will keep you guessing until the end. An excellent read.
Thanks to NetGalley and Harper Collins for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book.

Vivienne's teenage sister, Ruby, was killed when she was just a child. The only witness to the murder, Vivienne gave evidence and the murderer, Jack Delaney, was locked away. However, the Delaney family have always protested his innocence and, as she gets older and distant memories return, Vivienne starts to have niggling doubts in her testimony. When her own teenage daughter is in danger, can Vivienne unravel everything and solve the mystery in time to save her and establish Who Killed Ruby?

I thoroughly enjoyed this latest thriller by Camilla Way, having previously read another book by her - The Lies We Told. The story begins gradually, with the backstory to Ruby's murder gradually being revealed. There were so many possible suspects and I went this way and that, suspecting one after another. When the true killer was revealed, I was completely shocked. Fabulous page turner (I literally read it in a day), excellent story and an explosive ending - everything you could want from a book..

A fairly easy read with a generous amount of plot twists and turns as you would expect from a thriller. I had a problem believing the memories of an eight year old being as vivid as Vivienne’s were thirty years later. I have never met a child of that age with as much insight into mood changes in others never mind then bringing them to mind.

This book had me gripped from the start, a great opening chapter from there I had to finish the book as fast as I could. I love it when the twist knock me for six, didn't expect the ending at all. I liked the main characters in the book. Overall great book which I would recommend.

Thank you for this copy of Who Killed Ruby? netgalley

Who Killed Ruby is a perfectly crafted psychological thriller that had me hooked from the beginning.
Vivienne, cafe owner and single mother to Cleo has been living in the shadow of her sister Ruby’s murder for many years. At eight years old, it was her evidence that convicted Ruby’s boyfriend Jack of her murder but certain recent events have made her question whether she made a mistake especially as Jack always protested his innocence. Having served his time Vivienne starts to wonder if he is out to seek revenge for this miscarriage of justice and the reader starts to wonder who really did kill Ruby??
There are a vast array of characters in this novel, all well drawn, with Vivienne’s mother Stella taking a central role. Whilst obviously a strong imposing figure, she’s not particularly likeable despite running a refuge for London’s waifs and strays. Her relationship with Vivienne seems awkward, having exposed her daughter to an unconventional childhood, seeking refuge in a womens commune after the death of Ruby.
The author cleverly casts aspersions on a number of male characters, making the reader suspicious of their motives and providing enough uncertainty to make them all seem guilty. Neil, next door neighbour to Vivienne and Cleo is portrayed in a poor light as a creepy, lonely middle aged divorcee intent on forging a friendship with the pair. He becomes highly suspect to the reader when we learn that Cleo is being groomed online by the so called Daniel, a fellow gamer. Add to the mix, Vivienne’s new boyfriend, the mysterious Alek, a refugee from Kosovo and practising anaesthetist and there are all the ingredients to make this a gripping thriller.
Both storylines intertwine when Cleo goes missing, having agreed to meet Daniel and Vivienne is convinced Jack is somehow responsible for her abduction.
Full of red herrings with a shocking twist at the end, Who killed Ruby is full of tension and suspense which in my opinion made it a real page turner. I devoured this thriller virtually in one go, only half guessing one of the brilliant twists and thoroughly recommend. Thanks as always to the publisher and Netgalley for allowing me to read.

I loved this gripping thriller. Full of twists and turns it cleverly leaves the reader guessing all the way through, and nicely illustrates the unreliability of memory. It also paints a realistic portrait of mother/daughter relationships. I would thoroughly recommend this as a great holiday read.

Fast paced book that grabbed me from the first page. Plenty of red herrings and a twist I never saw coming.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for the ARC in return for an honest and unbiased opinion.

Viv has spent most of her life mourning her sister Ruby and convinced the man she helped put in prison killed her sister. Viv's daughter is "groomed" and when she goes to meet her online friend she is kidnapped! Her mum can save her if she tells the kidnapper who killed Ruby.
Viv is against the clock trying to go back to the past and recall what exactly happened and did she help out the wrong man in prison for 30 years!!
What Viv unearths through a type of therapy leaves her and the reader shocked!!!

Thanks to Netgalley and Harper Collins for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Ruby was killed over 30 years ago when she was 16. Her sister Viv, who was 8 at the time testified against Ruby’s boyfriend, Jack, who went to jail for about 30 years. Now it seems Jack is out of jail and living in Canada, but weird things are starting to happen.

I loved Lies We Told so I was excited to read this one. It was good but not quite as good. I thought it started out a bit slow but once it got going, I was pretty into it and wanted to find out who really did kill Ruby. The ending was pretty surprising and overall I enjoyed the book.

An excellent thriller that I could not put down,

32 years ago Vivienne's pregnant 16-year-old sister Ruby was murdered. Viv was a key witness in the trial that put away her killer. She still has nightmares of the events of the day of the murder. The book opens with three women stood around a dead body then backtracks to the events leading up to this event.

As well as the current story leading to the body in the kitchen we get to discover Ruby's story and what happened to her years ago.

Along the way, we are treated to the intertwined stories of Viv, her mother and her daughter and family secrets slowly being revealed. A great cast of characters and plenty of twists to the story keep the reader guessing as to where it is heading.

Highly recommended.

Secrets and twists galore in the fast-paced psychological thriller, centering on the title itself. Just who DID kill Ruby? Spanning 3 generations of one family, grandmother, daughter, and grand-daughter. I won't get into it in too much detail as I don't want to spoil anything for the readers but it kept me captivated all the way through. I'm going to deduct 1 star though - sorry - insofar as I guessed the killer well before the ending but this book held my interest nevertheless. Well written and suspenseful it's certainly very entertaining. My thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC.

I really enjoyed this standalone book which grabbed my attention from the first page. It is well written, has a great plot line with lots of twists and turns and an ending which I didn’t see coming.

It’s a really good book to take on holiday as it’s short (just over 300 (pages), easy to read and doesn’t have complex sub plots.

I’d like to thank NetGalley for giving me an opportunity to read this book.
