Whew! It's been a hot minute. I've been reading, but not posting. So let's get updated! One by One is another quick ready by Freida McFadden. This is an older title of hers, but a great one! Came out in 2022.
Our narrator is Claire, who is extremely unhappy in her marriage, yet going on a vacation with her husband and 5 other friends. They take a trip each year, and this year is no different. Except, Claire's daughter has a dream that Claire gets eaten by a monster in the woods....Claire brushes this off initially, but after the group literally gets lost in the woods on the way to their resort and people start disappearing, she begins to question if she will ever return home to her children. Primarily, the narrator is Claire, but there is also an anonymous narrator who has a chapter interspersed here and there. Anonymous tells us of their horrific childhood, and leads us to believe that they are a piece of the puzzle in the mystery of the people that have disappeared, but the reader is left to decipher who anonymous may be. This book was an unputdownable thriller, and I read it from cover to cover in a day. Although Claire at times seemed a bit immature, Freida McFadden ratcheted up the tension a notch at a time that kept me rapidly turning pages on my Kindle. Absolutely loved this book, and highly recommend it to fans of Freida McFadden and Lisa Gardener.
