One by One
by Ruth Ware
Book Review: One By One
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Author: Ruth Ware @ruthwarewriter

Getting snowed in at a luxurious but isolated mountain chalet might sound idyllic—until you realize you’re trapped with your coworkers and one of them is a murderer.
In One By One, Ruth Ware delivers a modern take on the classic locked-room mystery. A corporate retreat for employees of Snoop, a trendy music app, turns deadly when an avalanche cuts them off from the outside world. With tensions already running high over an impending company sale, the group soon faces a far greater crisis: people start disappearing, and a killer is among them.
The novel is told from the alternating perspectives of Erin, a chalet employee with secrets of her own, and Liz, an ex-Snoop employee with an outsider status and a crucial vote in the company’s future. As the bodies pile up, suspicions shift, and Ware keeps readers guessing about who will make it out alive.
Ware introduces a dozen characters quickly, which may require a bit of effort to keep them all straight. But once the key players become clear, the book unfolds with a mix of slow-burning tension and fast-paced moments of terror. While the first half focuses on character dynamics and the eerie isolation of the setting, the final act ramps up into a gripping and suspenseful conclusion.
The remote chalet setting is perfect for a thriller, and Ware excels at crafting an atmosphere of claustrophobic dread. Fans of Agatha Christie’s And Then There Were None will find plenty to enjoy here, as Ware plays with classic mystery tropes while giving them a fresh, tech-world twist. Though some character development feels thin, One By One is an engaging and entertaining thriller, ideal for readers looking for a chilling escape.
A tense, atmospheric page-turner that will keep you guessing. Perfect for fans of locked-room mysteries and corporate drama with a deadly edge.
