Screen rights have been optioned for Ruth Ware‘s “blisteringly good” (The Observer) thriller One by One, leaving rights for only The Turn of the Key, The Death of Mrs Westaway and The Lying Game available.

Snow is falling in the exclusive alpine ski resort of Saint Antoine, as the shareholders and directors of Snoop, the hottest new music app, gather for a make or break corporate retreat to decide the future of the company. At stake is a billion-dollar dot com buyout that could make them all millionaires, or leave some of them out in the cold.

The clock is ticking on the offer, and with the group irrevocably split, tensions are running high. When an avalanche cuts the chalet off from help, and one board member goes missing in the snow, the group is forced to ask – would someone resort to murder, to get what they want?

One by One is out now. Grab it here in the UK or, better, via your local bookshop or Bookshop.org. In the US, find it here or on Bookshop.org.

Ruth’s next murder mystery thriller, The It Girl, will be released in the US on 12th July and in the UK on 4th August. You can pre-order your US copy here, and your UK copy here.
