Ruth Ware does it again. She has officially earned a spot on my favorite thriller/mystery authors list. This is just the second book I have read from her, but both titles were so unique and well written. One by One is a murder mystery set in France at a mountain chalet. Through vivid imagery, I actually felt like I was there. It definitely helped that I read this during the winter and could visualize the snowy setting Ware writes about. In addition to this, the storyline was not predictable and the ending caught me by surprise. Overall, this title is a satisfying suspenseful read!
