One by One

Penguin Shop: 3 Clothbound Classics for £33

A real spine-chiller that confirms Ruth Ware as the true heir to Christie's crown. Ingenious plotting sees the body count rise and multiple suspects eliminated until we're left with breathless game of cat-and-mouse.

The sense of dread deepens as the snow falls in Ruth Ware's tensely plotted and deliciously cast alpine thriller.

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

Chilling, claustrophobic and clever. This is Ruth Ware's best yet.

What a read, oh my goodness, so fast paced, action packed, twisty-turny, modern, clever, scary and ingenious!

Lisa Jewell, author of The People Upstairs

The queen of just-one-more-chapter, Ruth Ware, has done it again.

I absolutely loved ONE BY ONE! Impossible to put down and perfectly claustrophobic and gorgeously atmospheric. Each twist was perfectly cued and plotted, showing Ruth to be the master storyteller we all know.

A fabulous 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

One of the best thriller writers around.

One By One has all the elements of a classic crime novel, brilliantly reinvented for the modern era with a dramatic setting, pin-sharp characterisation and up-to-the-minute plotting. It is fast-paced, astute and utterly compelling.

Sly satire and some bracingly unpleasant characters make for a fun read

With Ruth Ware, you always know to expect the unexpected... in her latest offering, Ruth goes full tilt cutting edge... the action is breakneck, the pace is breath-taking and the need to know whodunnit is all consuming

A high-tension treat with a Christie-ish twist... Cold sweat stuff!

A thoroughly enjoyable and consistently inventive wintertime mystery

One by One goes full-tilt cutting-edge... Definitely one to be read in one sitting under a fur throw with a mug of mulled wine to hand

Lisa Jewell, Daily Express, *Books of the Year*

Greed, ambition, manipulation, secrets, nifty plotting and a cracking denouement add up to a suspenseful and spine-tingling page-turner

An engaging page-turner that will keep you guessing

One By One is a galloping read packed with dark secrets and all the page-turning prowess you would hope for from a psychological thriller and murder mystery

The Queen of the modern murder mystery returns with a delicious homage to Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None

Agatha Christie fans will love this ingenious thriller...the pace is fast and furious and the twists satisfying

Books shouldn't really be gobbled down like cake but with Ware's there's no other way

This engaging page-turner keeps you guessing
