CrimeReads included Ruth Ware‘s One by One in a round-up of “THE MOST ANTICIPATED CRIME BOOKS OF 2020: FALL PREVIEW”.
“Ware has quickly earned herself a place atop the psychological thriller world in recent years, and One by One, which brings in elements of the traditional mystery, is an exciting new addition to her body of work. A London-based tech company organizes a corporate retreat in the French Alps, complete with team-building exercises and all the powerpoint presentations a person can stand. The surroundings are luxurious, but a storm and an avalanche ratchet up the tensions, as does the possibility of a company buyout. When one of the co-workers goes missing on the mountain, the stakes are raised that much more, as colleagues and uneasy friends begin to turn on one another. Read this one now and it’s a safe bet there’ll be a very attractive adaptation for you to watch in the near future.” –Dwyer Murphy, CrimeReads Editor-in-Chief
