A review by the_gingery_one
One by One by Ruth Ware

dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

I would probably put this book at 3/3.5 stars. Between liking it and really liking it πŸ˜‚

The only other Ruth Ware I have read is Turn of the Key and for me this didn't quite live up to that. I will however look forward to reading more Ruth Ware books in the future.

I have very recently read The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley which was interesting as the plots are VERY similar. Rich entitled people go to remote snowy mountains, some start popping their clogs one by one, two nice but in some way mysterious hosts and I shan't say more (spoilers) In my opinion this was done much better! (Wasn't hard tbh)

I like how this book was written from 2 different character perspectives. It was easy to read like this. I found the first part of the book an easy read and enjoyable but nothing breath taking. It just kind of took you along for the ride. Then BAM the last 100 pages happened. 

I did suspect the killer from quite early on but then this suspicion did waiver a bit before the reveal. I like how the reveal was like .....is it......is it......YES! 

Overall I enjoyed but wouldn't hurry back to read again.
