One by One

This one had me hooked for days! The ending had me shocked, definitely not who I thought the suspect was!

Entertaining and suspenseful from the fist page. Well written with unpredictable twist on the last page. Highly recommend this book.

Claire having an affair was a little cliche but having her risk getting separate rooms to mess around while her husband was on the same trip was wild! I had no idea it would have been Lindsay her best friend🤯 I had suspected it was Warner from the beginning then when he disappeared I started to think Jack then her husband Noah. The book was very fast paced, easy to read, and addicting I finished it so quick you can easily finish in one sitting. This book definitely had me thinking and I still didn’t even figured it out!

Took me forever to finish this one. I love her books so much, but this one was so slow starting out. The last 5 chapters made up for it.

This book was really good, it kept me engaged the whole. This book reminded me a lot of the Blair witch project and if you like the Blair witch project I feel like you will like this it is not exactly like the Blair witch project but it has settle elements like the Blair witch project. I would recommend this to anyone starting to get into thriller or just want to pick up an easy read book.

Freida McFadden is a practicing physician. She specializes in brain injury, lives in a centuries old three-story house in New York City, and has an ocean view. The staircases creak and moan with each step. She claims that nobody could hear you if you scream — unless you scream really loudly. Maybe. Although the three books of hers that I’ve read are (1) eerie, (2) creepy, and (3) scary, they do not rely on the supernatural or blatant horror. But they are definitely the kind of books that you don’t want to put down. “One by One” (2024, 258 pages in soft-cover format) vaguely reminds me of Agatha Christie’s “Ten Little Indians,” also known as “And Then There Were None.” Unlike Christie’s tale, McFadden sets her story in a modern middle-class suburb. Friends, and at least one newcomer, pile into Claire’s SUV and take off for a week’s vacation at a secluded Inn in the mountains. Claire and her husband Noah, have not been getting along. If fact, Claire reveals that they hate each other and are staying together for the sake of their two children. But the kids, Aiden and Emma, are staying behind in the care of Claire’s sister. The other passengers are Lindsay (Claire’s best friend) and Warner, Lindsay’s new boyfriend about whom she’s head over heels. And then there’s Noah’s best friend Jack (with whom Claire has been having an affair) and his wife Michelle whom he can’t divorce because she’s the best divorce lawyer in the country and would leave him living in a box, and not a very good box. The trip starts badly when Noah asks Claire if she remembered to use the bathroom before getting in the car, which he has decided to drive. Of course, she says “yes.” But half an hour later, she really has to go. However, she can’t risk inflaming Noah’s wrath, so she pleads with Lindsay to ask Noah to pull into a rest stop. Naturally, Noah knows that it’s Claire who really needs the facility, and the animosity rises to a conspicuous level. Then, as the car stalls in the mountains, quite a distance from the Inn, the six vacationers are stranded with little food or water. Lindsay picks some berries, ignores Claire’s advice not to eat strange fruit, and suffers the consequences. Her boyfriend Warner seems little affected by the event. Then Michelle disappears from the camp in the middle of the night, and Jack goes berserk because everyone wants to press on to the Inn to get help. Warner is the third to disappear. Claire becomes convinced that she’ll never see her children again, but her husband seems to be the stalwart who keeps his head and gradually becomes protective of and affectionate toward her. The three who are still together, Noah, Claire, and Jack, settle into an abandoned cabin, and that’s where the plot begins to unfold.This is a well-told story with the kind of twists that kept me awake all night....Jim Glynn

I enjoyed this one! I have read almost every book but 3 and these sometimes get hard to review, however this one was an easy 5 start review for me!

The storyline was not as believable a most of Freida's books but it was still a good read.Can't wait to start a new McFadden masterpiece.

What a great pager tuner, the ending was not expected! Great plot and well developed characters! Another hit from Freida.

El paquete llegó abierto.El libro está bien pero los bordes están ligeramente maltratados al igual que el borde.

Every chapter had me wanting to know more. I really couldn't figure out what was going to happen next. With a kind of humor, it made me laugh at times and some dramatic twists through the book.Unique and a little disturbing!

This book was crazy and amazing, there was alot of suprises and twists. I was confused at who was the anonymous person in the book but at the end of the book it was revealed. I didn’t expect it to be honest. This book is definitely an easily read and I read this quite quickly cuz I couldn’t put it down. I wanted to keep going and I’m so glad I did, cuz this was a crazy and amazing story.

This was my favorite Freida McFadden story yet.Fast paced, and with a good cast of characters. Just a few unclear loose ends (i.e. who rigged the car battery, some other logistical moves... don't want to give away any of the plot) kept it from being a 5 star read. Good job, Dr. McFadden!
