I've read very mixed reviews of this one, with most of them being on the negative side. Ware has become such a big-name author that surprises me a little.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-24847443955449364902020-09-11T20:16:18.193-04:002020-09-11T20:16:18.193-04:00Too bad.

I'm so glad you posted your thoughts...Hi Diane,<br />I'm so glad you posted your thoughts about this one, and I must say frankly that Ruth Ware's books always disappoint me. To my view, I really don't think she's a good and certainly not a great writer. So glad to know your thoughts, because the setting did sound appealing, but when it is not enough, it's just not.Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06435116453270981662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-71758876950770773032020-09-11T16:23:59.979-04:002020-09-11T16:23:59.979-04:00I really enjoyed this one but this was my first Wa...I really enjoyed this one but this was my first Ware so I can’t compare against the others. <br /><br />Even though the premise isn’t very original I think I was sucked in by the setting. Just before I read this I read The Sanatorium by Sarah Pearse which is also set in a desolate wintry setting with a murderer on the loose, I prefer it over One by One.

As Ti says above though, it has reminded me of The Hunting Party, but I knew it would going in. I think most authors are pressured to write a book a year these days or most are. I was not as big a fan of The Turn of the Key, but I do still like her books. Her first is probably going to remain my favorite. I should be finished with this one by tomorrow. I'll share my thoughts on it next week.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495669354860191042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-15692276605911503432020-09-11T14:55:30.179-04:002020-09-11T14:55:30.179-04:00Yes, some are definitely better than others.Yes, some are definitely better than others.(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-71298426671377941542020-09-11T14:55:13.258-04:002020-09-11T14:55:13.258-04:00I think so Deb.I think so Deb.(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-26496871720431342922020-09-11T14:54:53.413-04:002020-09-11T14:54:53.413-04:00Yes, I like the premise; not the execution.Yes, I like the premise; not the execution.(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-91329241549256212342020-09-11T14:54:27.524-04:002020-09-11T14:54:27.524-04:00I couldn't agree more!
