Review: Novel ‘Ruthy Ramirez’ flips true crime on its head

Associated Press  

“What Happened to Ruthy Ramirez” by Claire Jimenez If true crime is your guilty pleasure, you absolutely must find out what happened to Ruthy Ramirez. Over a decade later, a woman who looks just like Ruthy appears on reality TV show “Cat Fight,” going by the name Ruby. “What Happened to Ruthy Ramirez,” the compelling true-crime-style debut novel by Claire Jimenez follows the Ramirez family as they pick up the search for Ruthy. But as a fresh college graduate during the 2008 financial crisis — and with a dead-end retail job as the only thing tying her down — she agrees to help track down “TV Ruthy.” As the sisters sneak around their uber-religious, strict Puerto Rican mother, family dysfunctions resurface.
