One by One The snowy new thriller from the queen of the modern-day murder mystery

Ruth Ware2020
'Agatha Christie fans will love this ingenious thriller...the pace is fast and furious and the twists satisfying' Good Housekeeping Snow is falling in the exclusive alpine ski resort of Saint Antoine 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? **SELECTED BY TANA FRENCH AS AN OBSERVER BOOK OF 2020 AND BY LISA JEWELL AS A DAILY EXPRESS BOOK OF THE YEAR** PRAISE FOR ONE BY ONE: 'Perfect mash-up of Agatha Christie meets the staff of a tech start-up - in a secluded luxury mountain resort' Stylist 'Greed, ambition, manipulation, secrets, nifty plotting and a cracking denouement add up to a suspenseful and spine-tingling page-turner' Guardian 'A chilling, edge-of-your-seat thriller. Agatha Christie would have been up all night reading this one!' Shari Lapena, author of The Couple Next Door 'An engaging page-turner that will keep you guessing' Daily Express 'Books shouldn't really be gobbled down like cake but with Ware's there's no other way' Metro 'The queen of just-one-more-chapter has done it again' Clare Mackintosh, author of I Let You Go 'Impossible to put down and perfectly claustrophobic and gorgeously atmospheric' Gytha Lodge, author of She Lies in Wait 'So fast paced, action packed, twisty-turny, modern, clever, scary and ingenious!' Lisa Jewell, author of The People Upstairs 'A fab psychological thriller and I loved the snowy setting! Incredibly tense and kept me guessing to the end' Emily Koch, author of If I Die Before I Wake 'Blisteringly good' Observer 'Fiendishly delicious' Red 'Deliciously sly' Sunday Times 'The sense of dread deepens as the snow falls in Ruth Ware's tensely plotted...alpine thriller' Louise Candlish, bestselling author of Our House
