Another day, another ARC. This one is called “Ruth Run” by Elizabeth Kaufman and has been released on the 29th of April.

This one’s genre is general fiction; it’s also labeled as mystery / thriller but I didn’t really find it mysterious or thrilling.

The story is about Ruth, who designed a microchip that is implanted in a lot of government organizations. Over the years she skimmed a lot of money from bank accounts, not investigative worthy amounts but petty cash from huuuuge accounts.

But now, trouble begins. Her old workplace wants to know how to access those chips, why? She doesn’t really know. One morning her computer sounds the alarm. Someone has gotten past a tripwire that shouldn’t have been there. It’s time to move, but not without letting her partner in crime know. So she sets out to work, but when she gets there… It’s like the whole company already knows, which they don’t. Getting to her PIC there is no time but to just take him and run. Find some place to lay low and think things through.

But then her PIC has another idea and abandons her plan to skip to someplace new and start over. It’s just, she can give them the microchip but in the wrong hands it can be dangerous, so doing something in the greater good, she keeps running and relocating, occasionally having some help from people you would not expect.  

The obstacles along the way keeps the read interesting enough to continue.

I give this a ⭐⭐⭐ star rating
