Ruth Ware never disappoints !! I devoured this book ! Highly recommend with twists and turns that will have you begging for more !! Brilliant

Having read The Turn Of The Key, my first book by Ruth Ware, a few weeks ago and really liking her writing style, I was over the moon to see that she had released a new book with what looked to be a brilliant premise.
And it sure is a brilliant premise!
It being told from alternate viewpoints, with one of them being an employee at the chalet, this added another dimension to story and kept me hooked from the very beginning.
I wasn't sure what would happen next or who to suspect, which was a very good thing.
It did take me a little while to keep track of who was who and what it was they do at Snoop but once I got into it I couldn't put it down.
There were plenty of twists and turns, quite literally sometimes on the slopes of the mountain and the setting and them being cut off from the rest of the world, whilst the body count increases, makes this a 5 star murder mystery/thriller for me.
And if you enjoyed Sleep by C.L. Taylor (one of my favourite reads this year), I would definitely recommend reading this next.
Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with an advanced copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I’ve seen Ruth Ware described as “the Agatha Christie of our generation” and that has never been truer than in “One by one”.  A beautiful mountain chalet in the Alps, a company retreat with some of your coworkers and an avalanche hitting, getting you snowed in at the top of the mountain.  What could go wrong? The answer is: everything!  

I gotta be honest, this type of mysteries, reminiscent of “And then there were none”, are some of my favorite stories. Give me a group of people isolated in a remote setting and bodies turning up every few chapters and I’m happy.  And with this book I enjoyed every single moment.

"One by one" is Ruth Ware at her best. Last year "The turn of the key" was a bit of a let down for me, but in this instance she's truly back to form. I was so excited I got this ARC that, even though it has a November release date, I had to read it right now. That's how badly I wanted it. 

I got hooked up from page one, when all the different characters are introduced. The story is told in alternating chapters by Erin, one of the chalet workers, and Liz, one of the guests. This alternating POV makes the story quite dynamic and I found both voices equally interesting. There was not a dull moment throughout the novel. The setting was magnificent and the author manages to transport you to that mountain, feeling the cold as the characters do. I've never skied in my life and after reading this I doubt I will ever do :) The final confrontation had me biting my nails the whole time. Also there was a final twist I wasn't expecting and added another layer to the story.

Ruth Ware is a superb suspense writer and I daresay even Agatha Christie would be impressed.

Just the thing to read when you need switch-off entertainment that is gripping but unchallenging. The spotify-alike app company gives a contemporary edge updating the Agatha Christie plot. Ware cleverly twists her model and also gives her reveal early enough to really ramp up the tension in the final 25%. Some of the characterization is thin with people barely being more than names and what Erin does with a broken ankle makes her superwoman! Still, it's worth just going with the flow - a fun, one-sitting read.
