Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Group The Penguin Press for providing this book, with my honest review below.

Ruth Run was intriguing to me as a heist thriller but really this was focused on the aftermath of the heist and what led our main character, Ruth, to embark on a life of crime, with the reader as a voyeur to the very messy world she became a part of as a result of her impulses.

While the majority of the book follows Ruth as she tries to get away - a very rich woman - what I found the most interesting part of this book was the characters surrounding her, from her inept co-conspirator to the agent who has been stalking her for some time. Ruth isn’t a character I love or am necessarily rooting for based on her own merit, but the surrounding world the author created for around her had me firmly on her side and engaged in the little twists and turns until the very end.
