The Indiependent—a blog for budding journalists and reviewers—has praised Ruth Ware‘s One Perfect Couple as one of the top five crime fiction Books of 2024.

In the review, Eleanor Harvey writes:

‘No list of the best crime fiction is ever complete without Ruth Ware, even if it does mean including two “stuck on an island” murder mysteries. There has been a wave of thrillers based around reality shows over the last couple of years—perhaps unsurprisingly, given they provide built-in rivalries, toxicity, and confinement. Ware takes a slightly different approach, focusing not on the messed-up challenges but on the troubling power dynamics lying underneath them.’
