One by One
by Ruth Ware
I went into this slightly worried. Just because I thought it would have too many POVs for me to keep track. Thankfully this only had two. Although I did keep notes of characters. When and how they died. Just so I didn’t get confused.
This did start a little slow. Which made sense as we had plenty of characters to learn a little about. So it didn’t bother me too much.
When the first person went missing at around 30% the story started to pick up. I had questions and needed them answered. I didn’t want to put the book down.
I tried to make some theories but I felt like all the hints and clues given were to throw me off. I didn’t trust anyone or anything.
I did figure out the killer just before the reveal. I don’t know why I just got the feeling it must be them. They were too quite. Looking back there was something off about the character. There but not there when things happened.
When it comes to the reveal I’m not sure how I feel. I can see why Ruth Ware decided to go with that. But I also feel like it was too soon and abrupt. Like we found out too easily what was happening. I just found myself waiting for the big twist. Because surely with the amount of time left there would be a final twist right? Wrong. We got a motive sure but twist not really.
The build up was great kept me intrigued the whole time. But the ending felt a little weak and disappointing.
Overall I did enjoy it and would recommend.
