Named one of the most anticipated reads of 2022 by PopSugar, Bookpage, and Crimereads “Mesmerizing. . . Rothchild does a terrific job keeping readers wondering about Simon’s reliability, and pulls off the considerable challenge of engendering sympathy for an unrepentant killer. Vivid prose is another plus. . . Jeff Lindsay fans will have a hard time not devouring this standout effort in one sitting.”– Publishers Weekly (starred review) “This disturbing thriller begs to be inhaled in a single sitting, but the experience may raise the question of how many friends and loved ones are quietly, happily getting away with murder. [A] provocative, unsettling psychological thriller.”– Shelf Awareness “ 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 “Rothchild gives readers an unreliable narrator who truly lives up to the moniker. . . A compelling and entertaining psychological thriller.”– Kirkus Reviews “One of the best debuts I’ve read in a while, with a fascinating story, wicked sharp writing, and an unforgettable narrator. Blood Sugar needs to be on your 2022 reading list.” – Samantha Downing, bestselling author of For Your Own Good “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 ‚It’s rare that I read a book where I love everything about it! Ruby is a one-of-a-kind protagonist—book smart and street smart, delightfully self-righteous with a healthy balance of Oops! and I Got This. She makes rules to live by, and breaks rules when other people fail her standards for acceptable human behavior. I had the feeling I was reading the world’s best diary—relatable; witty, unpredictable—the prose flows merrily along, full of delicious details. Truly, Blood Sugar is one of the most entertaining novels I’ve ever read. I’ll never forget Ruby, the ethical assassin.‘ –Zoje Stage, bestselling author of Baby Teeth “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
