"Ruth Ware is amazing. I only recently discovered her, thanks to Robin Whitten, editor of AudioFile magazine, who recommended the year’s best audiobooks for us . She says that audiobooks work particularly well for the suspense/crime fiction genre and I’m inclined to agree. The first book I read of Ruth Ware’s was The Turn of the Key , which was fabulously unputdownable and atmospheric and came out this year in paperback. One by One is her latest book and I’ve been listening to it as an audiobook with my daughters. It’s not exactly appropriate because there’s a lot of swearing, but the girls get very upset if I listen to it without them. It’s set in a fancy ski chalet in France and that’s all I’m going to say about it, because anything else will detract from the suspense (tip for crime fiction: never read the book blurb). Generally, I can say that Ruth Ware is hilarious on out-of-control tech and dreams up these things that you almost wish existed. I also like the way she looks at how outward professionalism interacts with what’s really going on in the main protagonist’s mind."
