Blurb (taken from Goodreads):
Getting snowed in at a beautiful, rustic mountain chalet doesn’t sound like the worst problem in the world, especially when there’s a breathtaking vista, a cozy fire, and company to keep you warm. But what happens when that company is eight of your coworkers…and you can’t trust any of them?
When an off-site company retreat meant to promote mindfulness and collaboration goes utterly wrong when an avalanche hits, the corporate food chain becomes irrelevant and survival trumps togetherness. Come Monday morning, how many members short will the team be?
Review:
There are so many one to three star reviews for this book, but I really loved it, so I’m writing a short review for what I consider an excellent book.
“And Then There Were None” by Agatha Christie is one of my favourite books. It’s one of the first books that I read that really blew me away; where the twist was so unexpected that I had to put the book down, and then pick it back up to reread it to pick apart all the clues I had missed. Maybe that’s why I liked “One by One” so much – a locked room mystery that kept me guessing until I confirmed my suspicions. Was Ware’s book at the same level as Christie’s? No, but both mysteries kept me hooked and had me flipping pages so quickly that I would say they do merit being compared.
I loved the setting; I could really picture the chalet and the atmosphere that Ware built. I liked the characters and the relationships. I even liked the company, Snoop – someone fund this app, please!!
So here is to a short review… I can’t type much more or else I’ll blurt out the ending of the book and I don’t want to do that. Overall: it’s a neat mystery, I liked it, I recommend it!
