Book 48 (of 52) – Zero Days

Zero Days – Ruth Ware

After a run-in with the police, a penetration tester returns home to find her husband murdered.  When the police have a hard time rationalizing her timeline, they look at her as the prime suspect, causing her to go on the run.  With limited resources, can she stay off the grid long enough to find out who is really responsible for her husband’s death and convince the police of her innocence?

Zero Days, the latest from Ruth Ware, is a bit of a change of pace from her other work, leaning more towards a techno-thriller.  There isn’t much of a twist here, the big bad was patently obvious, but the ride was more about the path our protagonist took to figure out the baddie and how she stayed ahead of her pursuers.  I’ll be sure to keep Ware and her work on my radar.
