A Chilling Masterpiece of Suspense and Mystery!

Book 10 DID. NOT. DISAPPOINT!
Lauren Street has done it again! One by One is a spine-tingling addition to the Bishop Smoky Mountain Thrillers series, and I couldn’t put it down. This book had me glued to the edge of my seat with its hauntingly atmospheric setting, nerve-wracking tension, and expertly crafted mystery.

Shagbark Manor is the perfect backdrop for this dark and twisted tale—creepy, mysterious, and steeped in history. The eerie visions and gruesome past of Crawford Tillman set the stage for a terrifying modern-day mystery that kept me guessing until the final page.

Rileigh and Mitch continue to shine as a team, balancing relentless determination with moments of vulnerability that make them so relatable. I loved how Rileigh’s compassion drives the investigation, even when danger closes in around her. And the stakes have never been higher—every chapter left me wondering who would survive.

Street’s ability to blend heart-stopping action with deep emotional connections is unparalleled. The twists in One by One are perfectly paced, building to a climax that left me breathless.

If you haven’t started this series yet, you are seriously missing out! Each book somehow gets better, and now I’m already desperate for book 11. Lauren Street has solidified her place as one of my all-time favorite authors. This series is a must-read for thriller fans!

What a great addition to the series. The story moves along smoothly and wraps up everything neatly by the end of the book. A typically well written story with well developed characters & plot. This one keeps you guessing until the end.
I received an advance review copy via NetGalley/Sterling & Stone and I'm leaving a voluntary and honest review.

Brilliant story, great characters and loved the twists and turns and the suspense, loved the fear building with the ghosts and weird things not knowing if it was real or not. Need to read the previous books as some bits I think were related to backstory which I hadn’t read but I loved it and want to read more of the series!

I loved this mystery thriller that kept me awake at night! This book is edge of your seat, keeps you guessing kind of book I enjoy!

I love this series.

If you like ghost stores then this story is got you.
I’m not a ghost story fan at all but because this is Riliegh and Mitch’s story I had to read it.

The ghost aspect was definitely different for me. But with the rest of the story factored In it made it a good story and was definitely a mystery.

I really like Rileigh and her family. She is a strong character that you can’t help but like.
And Mitch is a good guy who supports Rileigh and her family. It’s just an all around good series.

A very well paced and suspenseful story. Well written and keeps the reader interested.
I like the characters and especially the strong female lead who shares her limelight equally with her male lead.
I love the details into the story and intricately woven characters. I love the backdrop of the story and how it’s told.

I did not realize that this book was part of a series so that is on me. I am DNFing for now, but plan to return to the series and start from the beginning when I am able to. The reviews for this book look great and I do think it will appeal to fans of true crime/mystery. Can't wait to be return!

One By One has an interesting storyline and I enjoyed the interplay between Mitch and Rileigh a lot. However, it feels like the story line went over and over the same thing several times and then was wrapped up very hastily. Overall, it was a good book, but could use some reworking.

Mitch and Rileigh are investigating the disappearance of Hillary Schofield. Her family are staying at Shagbark Manor which is advertised as being haunted by its current owner. A century ago Crawford Tillman returned home to find his family dead at the bottom of the stairs -exactly where Hillary's parents find a pool of blood.

One by One is a wild ride. Incredibly well-written, atmospheric and downright scary -a total page turner.

Mitch and Rileigh finally get their big date but it’s interrupted when a distraught father needs the sheriff’s help. Mitch and Rileigh are investigating the disappearance of a sixteen year old girl. Hailey and her family are staying at Shag Manor for five months. It is said to be haunted. Supposedly a man in the ‘20s came home from a trip and murdered his whole family with an axe. Only one little girl lived and when she grew up she ended up making the house into a bread and breakfast place. Now her granddaughter runs it and advertises as it being haunted. Hailey keeps seeing and hearing things but no one believes her. The more Rileigh and Mitch investigate, the more the mystery deepens. Can they figure out what’s going on before someone else disappears?
Excellent story. Hopefully the errors will be fixed before it’s published. Totally shocked! It will keep you turning the pages all night. A little spooky.

This was a strong tenth entry in the Bishop Smoky Mountain Thriller series, it continued the story and was everything that I was looking for. Lauren Street continued to write this type of book perfectly and enjoyed the way the characters were in this storyline.

Rileigh and Mitch are approached by a teenager who is staying at Shagbark Manor, a B and B that is supposedly haunted. The girls seems to be seeing things that no one else can see.
Hillary Schofield then disappears, leaving only a massive puddle of blood at the bottom of the stairs, where two other bodies were found almost a century before.

Rileigh and Mitch have to get to the bottom of the supernatural goings on.

I am not a fan of spooky, supernatural books. This one gave me the creeps, but at the back of my mind, I did know that there was a rational explanation. It was the gory, chilling and horrific journey to that explanation that I did not enjoy.
I love the Rileigh and Mitch series, but this has been my least favourite, for the above reason.

Thanks to Netgalley and Sterling & Stone for the ARC.

Hillary y su familia están hospedados en la casa Old Shaggy para un tipo de retiro-unión familiar. Ella no quiere quedarse en ese lugar porque ve y escucha cosas terroríficas, pero nadie le cree. La pobre está muerta de miedo, y un día desaparece, dejando atrás mucha sangre y marcas de un hacha. El sheriff Mitch y Rileigh tendrán que investigar qué fue lo que pasó y si quien se la llevó es un asesino en serie, un imitador o algo peor.

Disfruté del libro. Me gustó cómo la autora jugó con la parte sobrenatural y dejó abierta la posibilidad de que lo que ocurría en Old Shaggy fuera causado por un fantasma y no por una persona.
