Who Killed Ruby?

Who Killed Ruby?
Camilla Way

‘Gripping psychological suspense’ Fiona Barton, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Child ‘Keeps you guessing till the very end’ Cara Hunter, author of All The Rage You never know what’s going on behind closed doors… If you passed it on the street, you’d see an ordinary London townhouse. You might wonder about the people who live there, assume they’re just like you. But inside a family is trapped in a nightmare. In the kitchen, a man lies dead on the blood-soaked floor. Soon the police will come, and they’ll want answers. Perhaps they'll believe the family’s version of events – that this man is a murderer who deserved to die. But would that be the truth? Perfect for fans of Clare Mackintosh, Cara Hunter and Ruth Ware Praise for Camilla Way: ‘An original page turner’ Sun ‘A top class psychological thriller, smartly crafted and oozing tension’ Sunday Mirror ‘Adds pace and suspense in a way that’s refreshing for even the most jaded of readers’ Stylist
