It all culminates in the ultimate work trip nightmare that, despite a few unrealistic moments, knocked me out. I especially loved the voice of Erin (one of the main characters) and was super into Ware’s wintery imagery. It’s a tightly wound, Agatha Christie-esque set-up, and unlike in my review for His & Hers, I didn’t feel like the twists were cheap. Cutting off a group of tech entrepreneurs in their chalet just as an avalanche hits, the unputdownable One By One mines envy, avarice and other dark motives in. When an avalanche leaves them stranded, victims start piling up and accusations fly. Luckily I really enjoyed One by One, and it’s inspired me to take up skiing (lol jk never).Īs usual Ware twists a compelling mystery involving a group of people - in this case the execs at a tech company on their Alps retreat - with tensions running high (literally, since they’re on the top of a mountain for most of the book). I’ve been a fan of Ruth Ware for a while now - In a Dark, Dark Wood is one of my favorite thrillers, ever - but her last few books haven’t really been my jam, to be quite honest. There are no outlandish scenarios or truly out-of-the-ordinary circumstances that render the plot unbelievable. □ □□□□□ □□□□□ □□□□□□ □□.” As always, Ware is effective at not just manipulating her characters, but also their environment, with a simplicity that belies its effectiveness. ![]()
