One by One

Although another reviewer rated 2 stars because of the narration, I think Imogen Church is one of the best female narrators out there, so I guess it really does boil down to personal preference. I\’ve listened to three or four other Ruth Ware titles and feel that Church does a phenomenal job. She is a perfect match for the author\’s style of writing. If you\’ve ever read or listened to Ware before, you\’ll know that her stories are often filled with inner dialogue, which, in my eyes, happens to be one of Churches biggest strengths. Her pacing is spot on and she definitely has a talent for emphasizing in all the right places. The flow is so natural it\’s as if you\’re listening to someone else\’s conversations firsthand. It\’s always harder to satisfy readers in audio format, anyway, because success no longer relies solely on the author\’s prose, but on the combination of written word and performance. I don\’t want to give anything away, and although in my opinion it does seem as if the plot follows the same basic formula as her previous works, Ware is a talented writer who always provides enough intrigue to keep me coming back. Especially if she continues to pair with Imogen Church.

I could not care less about those tech douches ethical dilemmas and poor character development. I wanted more of them to get murdered.

I have enjoyed other Ruth Ware books but this one is beyond awful. It is incredibly tedious, predictable, and just plain awful. Please save your money and do not buy this book!

I was so excited for a new book by Ruth & I loved many of her books. Even more excited after I found Imogen was the narrator too! 5 stars for Imogen, 2 stars for story Sadly, I was greatly disappointed with this story. It didn\’t even catch my interest even a little, until chapter 18 & then…it just was still very very slow and tedious. The whole thing was very long winded & I did try to love it….it failed me though. The characters were pretty much the same in one way or another & boring and WAY OVER developed & just to many to yet hold my interest. The content \”Snoop\” introductions for each character got EXTREMELY ANNOYING & very redundant. Another \”Murder Mystery\” that had figured out by the time Ava\’s phone was pinged, yes, believe it or not. (No spoiler for you here, so don\’t worry) I will let you find out for yourself. I always love Imogen Church & honestly MANY book I do get are because SHE is the narrator & more times than not I end up enjoying the story. She has a wonderful voice!! Clear spoken, no mistakes, great emotions & tones for situations & characters. Sadly this is only the 2nd story out of MANY I have that even Imogen\’s talent could not save. No, I can\’t recommend this story if you want great story content, a good murder mystery or great characters you will get attached to in any way. Yes, I recommend Imogen Church as a narrator 100%

It wasn\’t her best work. It just kind of moves along, no real suspense. . Predictable who done it with once again a perfect narrator that makes up for it.
