Confined spaces and isolation, you say? If that doesn’t sound like 2020, I don’t know what does. In the claustrophobic confinement of the lodge, the group finds tempers rising, personalities clashing, and long-buried secrets threatening to reappear. The premise of Ware’s newest: a group of employees on a corporate retreat to a picturesque ski lodge in the French Alps find their getaway horribly disrupted when an avalanche cuts off their access to the outside world. This summer, while holed up in my house during lockdown, I had the pleasure of reading an advance copy of Ruth Ware’s chilling new mystery, ONE BY ONE-a book that puts a fresh, modern spin on the classic crime fiction “locked room” structure. Never has there been a more perfect time to read a “locked room mystery” than in 2020. The Verdict: a must-read modern “locked room” mystery
