Thank you to Netgalley and the author for allowing me to read this!

I was instantly intrigued by the synopsis of this book. This book instantly drew me in, I got to explore through the eyes of our main character and this is always my favorite way to discover these details of the story and, it was done very well in this book. I really enjoyed this book and the plot. This author did amazing. I loved the writing style. I have always loved Ruth's work and this was no exception. I always look forward to her work. This still wasn't one of her best but the story was still very entertaining.

Ruth Ware is often compared to Agatha Christie. In One by One, Ware nods to Christie's And Then There Were None. One by One is a story of a business retreat at an exclusive ski chalet going horribly wrong. One of your colleagues is a murderer, but which one?

A getaway to a luxurious chalet in the French Alps may sound like the perfect getaway for some: a week of scenic views and fresh powder and gourmet food. But in the thriller One by One by author Ruth Ware, a popular tech company’s dream getaway quickly turns into a nightmare when disaster strikes...

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for providing me with the opportunity to read and review this book.
It wasn’t until about a third of the way through until I finally liked this one. In fact, I came very close to giving up. But stick it out, readers! After about 30%, I couldn’t put it down. Reminiscent of And Then There Were None (or the locked-room mystery of your choice), the clues are there and the twists are slalom :)
Spoiler alert: All of the characters are suspects, even those who you don’t think could be. (That makes more sense when you read it.) I never forgot that Eva’s body wasn’t found and that Inigo disappeared, thinking they could still be suspects, too. I ended up loving that the narration alternates between just Erin and Liz, although they seem the two dullest for a while. And what I realized, in retrospect, that was brilliant about the narration is that all of the murders happened during Erin’s narration. Such a smart, simple move, Ms. Ware!

3.9 - dark, twisty page-turner; I think the social-media aspect of it is a turn-off to some older readers, but it was kind of a quirky way to keep tabs on things

Ruth Ware is another that I've been a fan of from the very beginning; she's a natural next step for anyone who enjoys Agatha Christie's writing. Her use of an unreliable narrator is unmatched and truly leaves you unsure of who and what you can trust within the story, and she's an expert at writing a totally out of left field plot twist.

She may not be doing anything new with the genre, but that doesn't make her releases any less fun to read. Ware's releases are ones that I look forward to every time.

Ruth Ware books are hit or miss for me. I don’t usually love them as much as everyone else does. Locked room mysteries are my favorite and as with Ware’s other books this one was fine.

Thank you to the Publisher and Netgalley for the advanced e-reader copy. All opinions expressed are my own.

I had fun reading this and catching all the plot twists as they came but the end just fizzled out for me. I won’t give anything away, but when a plot device was featured in this book that also was used in another book (her first book, In a Dark, Dark Wood), I was really saddened and upset. There was also another point in this book where I was saying, “Really Ruth, too much.” Other than that, it has the bones of a fun and catchy story but just lacks a little creativity in a couple of key spots.

This book was a very slow starter (I listened to it with my mother as an audiobook and we managed to drive all the way home from the beach, which is a couple hours, and when we got home nothing had really happened and absolutely nobody was dead!) but once it got rolling it ROLLED. The last quarter was absolutely un-put-downable.

Ruth Ware's "One by One" is a whodunit—updated for modern times—in the tradition of Agatha Christie's "Ten Little Indians." Ten guests are staying at a Chalet Perce-Neige, a luxurious lodge in the French Alps. They plan to relax, ski, and enjoy gourmet meals. However, it soon becomes apparent to Erin and Danny, the managers of the chalet, that their clients are not getting along. Their company, Snoop, is in financial trouble, and its co-founders, Topher and Eva, disagree about how to proceed in order to protect their investment. Tensions are running high, the weather turns nasty, and what promised to be a lovely vacation turns into a nightmare.

In this claustrophobic novel, the characters are cut off from the outside world thanks to heavy snow, an avalanche, a power outage, and an interruption of Internet and cell phone service. With the exception of Erin, one of the two narrators, no one in these pages is memorable or appealing. The other narrator, Liz, is a former employee of Snoop and a key shareholder. You do not need the insight of Hercules Poirot or Miss Marple to guess the identity of the culprit. That being said, we do not initially know the killer's motive, and it is unclear how the perpetrator is able to commit murder without being detected.

As the story progresses, the clues pile up, but it takes a while for Erin to figure out what is going on. Inevitably, there is a violent confrontation, and the traumatized survivors must come to terms with the horrors they have witnessed. Ware effectively captures the ambience of this scenic and secluded setting, with its freezing temperatures and ominous mood of impending doom. In addition, although the resolution is unconvincing, the author satisfactorily answers any questions that readers may have. All in all, "One by One" is a serviceable effort, but it lacks originality and offers few genuine thrills.

Ruth Ware has another winner! Quick read in the style of an Agatha Christie classic locked room mystery set in a ski chalet. One by One is sure to be a perfect book for summer beach reading and will appeal to all mystery fans.

Ware’s mysteries are brilliant. Though this falls slightly short of her incomparable debut, it was impossible to put down. Sleep is for the weak when it comes to a Ware novel. You’ll be compelled to read straight through the night to get through all her twists and turns!

I'd seen some poor reviews of this book, and I guess that put me off of reading it... I shouldn't have delayed, as I really enjoyed this. As a fan of a locked-door mystery, I should have known I would feel differently than some of the reviewers.
It was a solid four star read for me. I know some people did not enjoy the bits about Snoop as a business, but I thought it was not only interesting to hear about the company, but also part of the plot (and gave us further information about who might have motives.
I knocked off a star, as I found the killer to be slightly predictable, but I also found some of the other aspects of the mystery (motive, means, etc) to be intriguing and less predictable. Overall, I enjoyed this and really enjoyed the characters of Erin and Danny.

Ruth Ware's latest thriller does not disappoint and definitely keeps the reader turning the pages right up until the end!

Love a 'locked room' mystery and this was no exception. Ruth Ware generally writes a great mystery/thriller, and One by One, set at a 'snowed in' inn delivers! Highly recommended!

This was another extremely spooky, atmospheric thriller. I enjoyed how the backstory slowly unraveled. The setting was wonderful, although my red flags went up immediately! The ending was masterfully done and I can't recommend it enough!

While a ski weekend at a luxurious mountain chalet sounds like a dream to many, this professional retreat quickly turns into a nightmare. The staff of Snoop have gotten together to hash out an important business decision together. An avalanche hits; they are trapped. Then, one by one, they start to go missing... or turn up dead. What was meant to be a relaxing weekend for the team, has left everyone pointing fingers and desperate to get out. Will they discover who the killer is before its too late?
Ruth Ware is the new queen of suspense. She is masterful at creating narrators with mysterious pasts whose layers are revealed as the story builds. I have enjoyed every Ruth Ware book I have read and One by One did not disappoint. The character development and twists make for an exciting read.

I’m a fan of Ruth Ware’s books and this did not disappoint. She is an auto buy author for me and I can’t wait for her next release.

Ruth Ware seems to favor ‘locked room’ type scenarios. But I’m not mad about it! People always seem to be stuck somewhere and trying to figure out what happened.
I was on the edge of my seat with this book. 10 people going on a corporate ski trip, in a semi secluded area during a snow storm. What could go wrong right?! There were so many twists and turns in this book. I enjoyed how the time line alternates between Erin and Liz. It seemed like we got little glimpses of what was unfolding and why, piece by piece. A few things I didn’t see coming. There was a lot going on in this story and a lot of characters, but it wasn’t so much that it was hard to keep track.
I enjoyed this story overall and I’m wondering why I waited so long to read it!!!!

Not my favorite by Ruth Ware but still very good. I liked how it harked back to Agatha Christie but was also very modern in the characters and plot. I look forward to more from this author.
