Both perspectives are needed to demonstrate a staff’s point of view, as well as a guest in the lodge.


However, these perspectives are vital to the plot and the development of her characters. Having two perspectives is a new structure for Ware’s novels. Readers follow the perspective of Erin, the chalet host and Liz, a shareholder in a tech company. Interestingly Ruth Ware uses several perspectives in One by One. After an avalanche cuts the guests off from the village below, it’s not soon after when guests keep disappearing one by one. The novel begins by following two characters and their journeys that bring them to the luxury cabin, in St. One by One is a cosy novel, perfect for those winter nights.
