Thank you #Thrillerbookloverspromotions for inviting me to help spread the word about this paperback release!!!
Blood Sugar by Sascha Rothchild
Publisher – G.P. Putnam’s Sons
Paperback Release Date – 4/11/2023
Summary:
“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 & sympathy. She’s had long-lasting friendships & relationships, & 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 & a scandal-obsessed public believe differently. As she undergoes questioning, Ruby’s mind races back to all the details of her life that led to this exact moment, & to the three dead bodies in her wak. Because though she may not have killed her husband, Ruby certainly isn’t innocent.
Alternating between Ruby’s memories of her past crimes & 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 & sweet.

Praise for Blood Sugar
“Sascha Rothchild’s terrific Blood Sugar makes us root for this flawed but compelling character…[Rothchild] nimbly hops between past and present, introducing multiple cliffhangers that she lets dangle for long stretches before treating us to their resolutions. You might come for the mystery, but you’ll stay for the sheer energy of Ruby’s electric presence.”—New York Times Book Review
“Blood Sugar by Sascha Rothchild has one of the best tag lines we’ve ever seen: ‘She’s accused of four murders. She’s only guilty of three.’”—PopSugar
Brilliantly creative and morbidly witty. . . Filled with surprising turns, and told by a woman with indelible humor and knife-sharp observation (not that she’d ever use a knife), Blood Sugar is not one to be missed.”—BookTrib
“A chilling, twisty and exceptionally smart thriller that will convince you that not every cold-blooded killer is a villain. I adored this book from page one and didn’t want it to end.” — Michele Campbell, bestselling author of It’s Always the Husband
“Unsettling from its outset and engrossing to its very end, Blood Sugar pulls the reader deep into the mind of its highly intelligent, obsessively organized protagonist — an accomplished woman who just so happens to leave a trail of dead bodies in her wake. Never before have I cared so much for such an untrustworthy character.”—Kathleen Barber, author of Truth Be Told
“Inventive, engrossing, and wicked, BLOOD SUGAR is the tale of a woman who just can’t seem to stop killing people. But she would never hurt her own husband—right? Ruby Simon is perhaps the most relatable murderer since Dexter. I found her story disturbingly fun.”—Stephanie Wrobel, bestselling author of Darling Rose Gold
