I liked this story-telling choice, as we got insight into some of the Snoop backstory, as well as the chalet worker’s thoughts as things begin to happen. It’s told from the POV of Erin, one of the workers in the chalet, and then Liz, a guest and minority shareholder for Snoop. The cast has two employees for the ski chalet, and 10 guests. What was supposed to be a week-long retreat to decide on what to do, turns into a heart racing trip to stay alive. As the story unfolds, we begin to understand that there is an opportunity for a buy out of the company Snoop, but not every shareholder wants this. It was very reminiscent of in a dark, dark wood, but I really enjoyed it!Ī company trip to a secluded ski resort starts off tense with characters that are segregated into smaller groups of friends and enemies. This one takes us back to her stories that put a group of people together and then start killing them off. I found myself immediately drawn in and seriously could not put it down! I will say that it wasn’t quite as good as The Turn of the Key, but that was by far my favorite by her. Still, the subject matter and description for One By One make it sound like a twisty must-read for me.Well, Ruth Ware has done it again! One by One was a thrilling story of murder, secrets, and seclusion. Now, I’m not usually much of a thriller reader, and I’ve only read one book by Ruth Ware so far ( The Turn of the Key), which I had decidedly mixed feelings about. One By One caught my attention as soon as I stumbled across it and read the synopsis, and when I saw it available at a deep discount, I just had to grab a copy. I love snowy mountain vacations… and I also seem to be drawn to books and/or movies that feature snowy mountain disasters! What does this say about me, I wonder? I bought a hardcover edition during a pre-Christmas book sale in 2020. The #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Turn of the Key and In a Dark Dark Wood returns with another suspenseful thriller set on a snow-covered mountain.
Come Monday morning, how many members short will the team be? When an off-site company retreat meant to promote mindfulness and collaboration goes utterly wrong when an avalanche hits, the corporate food chain becomes irrelevant and survival trumps togetherness. But what happens when that company is eight of your coworkers…and you can’t trust any of them?
Getting snowed in at a beautiful, rustic mountain chalet doesn’t sound like the worst problem in the world, especially when there’s a breathtaking vista, a cozy fire, and company to keep you warm.
