“Diabolically clever.” —Riley Sager, author of Final Girls
The #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Turn of the Key and In a Dark, Dark Wood returns with another suspenseful thriller set on a snow-covered mountain.
Getting snowed in at a luxurious, rustic ski chalet high in the French Alps doesn’t sound like the worst problem in the world. Especially when there’s a breathtaking vista, a full-service chef and housekeeper, a cozy fire to keep you warm, and others to keep you company. Unless that company happens to be eight coworkers…each with something to gain, something to lose, and something to hide.
When the cofounder of Snoop, a trendy London-based tech startup, organizes a weeklong trip for the team in the French Alps, it starts out as a corporate retreat like any other: PowerPoint presentations and strategy sessions broken up by mandatory bonding on the slopes. But as soon as one shareholder upends the agenda by pushing a lucrative but contentious buyout offer, tensions simmer and loyalties are tested. The storm brewing inside the chalet is no match for the one outside, however, and a devastating avalanche leaves the group cut off from all access to the outside world. Even worse, one Snooper hadn’t made it back from the slopes when the avalanche hit.
As each hour passes without any sign of rescue, panic mounts, the chalet grows colder, and the group dwindles further…one by one.

Great author!
I have read all her books! They are all so great that it is hard to put them down.
An Intense Thriller
The queen of locked door mysteries, Ruth Ware once again delivers another great story with One By One. As 10 current and former employees of the music app Snoop arrive at a French ski resort for a corporate retreat, they never dream what is about to face them isolation and murder. The group includes Topher and Evan, Snoop co-founders; Rik, the bean counter; Elliot, coder extraordinaire; Miranda, PR maven; Tiger, marketing; Carl, legal; Inigo and Ani, assistants; Liz, a former assistant; and two chalet employees, Erin and Danny. Told from the perspective of Liz and Erin, One By One is an incredible thriller told in the vein of Agatha Christies And Then There Were None. As each character reels from the news of a possible buyout, evil happenings begin to take place. Ware does an amazing job of leaving the reader guessing as to whats going on, as the groups number keeps dwindling. She also does a brilliant job of creating intriguing characters, each with their own past mistakes and mysteries. One disclaimer, One By One, which is due out Sept. 8, does include a large amount of expletives, which is my one complaint of Wares works. Otherwise, she is brilliant in weaving together incredible thrillers, whether its a murder whodunnit, or a psychological wonder at why a character acts out in a particular manner or deed. Five stars out of five. Scout Press, a subsidiary of Simon

A murder "whodunnit" a good read.
The backdrop is a ski lodge. The characters are a tech firm's employees and owners. One by one they are killed. By whom? And why? All good stories have a twist, and give you closure by the end of the story. This one does exactly that.
