Zero Days - Ruth Ware
Release Date : June 20, 2023
She read
Jack (Jacintha) and Gabe are a husband and wife team who are “pen” specialists - people hired to break into companies (penetrate) and test security. While Jack, guided by Gabe’s assistance through her ear, completes a job and is then detained, he is murdered. Under suspicion and being questioned at the police station, Jack uses her skills to escape and hunt for the killer herself, endangering her own life.
The falsely accused is one of my least favorite tropes yet I chose this book because of the author. It had a decent plot but the pages and pages of little and sometimes repetitive details found me doing a lot of skimming. Jack turns into almost a super action hero as she narrowing escapes precarious situations. The book struck me as being written as a pitch for a movie or Netflix series….one that I probably wouldn’t choose to watch because I am not into action films…especially those that strain credulity.
Fans of Ruth Ware might find this book surprising; action aficionados will enjoy it.
