Getting snowed in at a beautiful, rustic mountain chalet doesn’t sound like the worst problem in the world, especially when there’s a breathtaking vista, a cozy fire, and company to keep you warm. But what happens when that company is eight of your coworkers…and you can’t trust any of them?
When an off-site company retreat meant to promote mindfulness and collaboration goes utterly wrong when an avalanche hits, the corporate food chain becomes irrelevant and survival trumps togetherness. Come Monday morning, how many members short will the team be?

We (our club) had just finished the Two Lives of Lydia Bird (BEST eeekk) so One by One was a good transition and a big hit for me! It wasn't fast paced, which I knew beforehand, so I made it my casual Saturday read and ended up feeling it was a solid 3.5 stars. I bumped it up to 4 because of the other women's reviews in the club.
I did notice it was hit or miss with this one for other book club review; seems it mattered what you read just before. If your last book was a great edge-of-your-seat- thriller/suspense, then it seemed this one fell a bit flat. However, if you came out of a romance or regency, it seemed this one was a hit.
So I suggest placing it between genres and slow your pace a bit.
