Ruby is accused of four murders, but she is only guilty of three. She dove under the water and held a boy's ankle down until he drowned when she was a child, and she never felt guilty. Twenty-five years later, Ruby is in an interrogation room under suspicion of murder, and she is being shown four photographs of people she once knew, now deceased. She is responsible for three of the four deaths, but it might be the crime that she didn't commit that will finally ensnare her.

When Ruby was a child growing up in Miami, she witnessed a boy from her school struggling against the ocean waves while his parents were preoccupied. Instead of helping him, Ruby dove under the water and held his ankle down until he drowned. She waited to feel guilty for it, but she never did.

And, as Ruby will argue in her senior thesis while studying psychology at Yale, guilt is sort of like eating ice cream while on a diet - if you're already feeling bad, why not eat the whole carton? And so, the bodies start to stack up.

Twenty-five years later, Ruby is in an interrogation room under suspicion of murder, being shown four photographs. Each is a person she once knew, now deceased. The lineup includes her husband, Jason. She is responsible for three of the four deaths... but it might be the crime that she didn't commit that will finally ensnare her.

From the Emmy Award-winning Executive Producer of The Bold Type, this darkly funny and compulsively page-turning novel is perfect for fans of Caroline Kepnes, You, and Oyinkan Braithwaite's My Sister the Serial Killer.
