Description

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

The #1 New York Times bestselling author of the “claustrophobic spine-tingler” (People) One by One returns with an unputdownable mystery following a woman on the search for answers a decade after her friend’s murder.

April Clarke-Cliveden was the first person Hannah Jones met at Oxford.

Vivacious, bright, occasionally vicious, and the ultimate It girl, she quickly pulled Hannah into her dazzling orbit. Together, they developed a group of devoted and inseparable friends—Will, Hugh, Ryan, and Emily—during their first term. By the end of the year, April was dead.

Now, a decade later, Hannah and Will are expecting their first child, and the man convicted of killing April, former Oxford porter John Neville, has died in prison. Relieved to have finally put the past behind her, Hannah’s world is rocked when a young journalist comes knocking and presents new evidence that Neville may have been innocent. As Hannah reconnects with old friends and delves deeper into the mystery of April’s death, she realizes that the friends she thought she knew all have something to hide…including a murder.

“The Agatha Christie of our generation” (David Baldacci, #1 New York Times bestselling author) proves once again that she is “as ingenious and indefatigable as the Queen of Crime” (The Washington Post) with this propulsive murder mystery that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Reviews

  • Plot twist

    By NJSmith123
    I liked the Author’s style, but the entire story hinged on an entitled woman’s perspective. I hated the main character and all of her decisions it was hard to relate. The story still had me clinging for more to find out what really happened.
  • Thought I knew the ending… .

    Nope. I thought I knew but then BOOM I’m stunned. Great story by one of my favorite story-tellers. I still feel the pain in my legs from the characters jumping over fences and headaches from them suffering hangovers. Ruth writes details that make you completely immersed in the story. Great read.
  • Slow Starter

    Decent read. None of the characters are super likable but just when you think you have it figured out there’s a nice little plot twist to keep you going through the end.
  • Unable to access the whole book

    I downloaded the book and it allowed me to go to page 38, and then it stopped. I can’t go further. So up to page 38, it’s ok but since I can’t determine plot or character development it’s a 2.
  • Boring

    It was too wordy and too repetitive. It was slow paced it took awhile for me to get into the book. Overall it wasn’t that great. The ending was okay and it was not predictable. The reading was so boring I had to skim through soné parts
