The Washington Post has selected Ruth Ware‘s One by One  as one of the “Best thriller and mystery books of 2020”.

“Ware’s latest is the most brazenly Christie-ish of all her novels, directly taking inspiration from [And Then There Were None]. Ware sets her story at a ritzy ski chalet in the French Alps, where employees of a tech start-up disappear, one by one, from a work retreat. Ware expertly scatters red herrings, so that even the most alert reader becomes diverted into false deductions and dead ends.” Read the full piece here.

Also, Chicago Tribune included the novel in their round-up of “Gift guide: Shopping for book lovers? Chicago booksellers have you covered.”

“Ruth Ware is back with another one of her atmospheric mysteries [. . .] Fans of Ms. Ware will really enjoy this latest thriller. — Nancy Usiak, Book Bin. Read the full piece here.
