One By One
Ruth Ware Harvill Secker £12.99
Ware’s latest is a classic crime story in the Christie tradition, though with a neat contemporary spin. Ten quarrelsome members of a hot new tech company are at a remote alpine ski lodge in the middle of a snowstorm. Inevitably, the ten are soon being picked off, one by one, as the tension builds and the snow keeps falling. A thoroughly enjoyable and consistently inventive wintertime mystery.
