Summary
A brilliantly twisty new thriller - perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell.
Both of them loved him. One of them killed him....
Louise has had to watch her husband, Andrew, start a new family in the four years since he left her. The ‘other woman’ is now his wife - but Louise isn’t ready to let Caz enjoy the life that was once hers or to let go of the man she still loves.
As Louise starts to dig into Caz’s past, the two women’s pretence of civility starts to slip. But in trying to undermine each other, they discover more about the man they both married. And when Andrew is murdered at a family party, both women are found standing over the body.
It’s always the wife. But which one?
Critic reviews
"I devoured One in Three, with its well-drawn characters, believably complex relationships and relentlessly twisting plot that keeps the [listener] guessing. Plus, Tess Stimson writes beautifully." (Debbie Howells)
"One in Three is just fantastic - complex, intriguing, fast-paced, with a brilliant, compelling cast. I loved it!" (Alex Lake)
"I raced through this tale of a murderous love triangle. Tense, twisty, and that ending - wow!" (Jackie Kabler)

Fabulous in every aspect
I cannot rate this book highly enough - and I am choosy! Kept me enthralled through a cast of characters, with great skill. When Andrew, a loving husband and father with a new wife and an embittered ex wife, is murdered, both are suspects when discovered at the scene, covered in his blood and blaming each other. This is all revealed in the first chapter so no spoiler here. The story develops with each chapter devoted to the female protagonists and police interviews, spiced up with the introduction of other family members who provide further insights into the past behaviours of both women. With superb skill, Tess reveals the history that would culminate in Andrews death and it is this gradual process that drew me in until I could not listen fast enough......and as for the final denoument ..... WOW!!! Just sit back and enjoy this wonderfully constructed 'who done it' and 'why' and should you be disappointed, then something must be lacking in you!!!! Definitely, one of my favourite reads of the year which I cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you Miss Stimpson

The characterization of the 2 heroines was so well done. All the characters around them were equally real & interesting. The plot twist towards the final chapters was unexpected. The way the author wrapped up the story was literally heart warming. SUPERB. Total recommend :)

Really good, great twist
I don’t normally leave written reviews as most thrillers seem very similar, but I liked the way this one had different voices for different characters and the plot was intriguing, great read/listen drove my family mad having my headphones in all the time, definitely worth a go
Didn’t need extra gore or violence to keep you reading as a lot of thrillers do, very cleverly written,

Thoroughly Enjoyable
Always a bonus to get a full cast of narrators and the story is an excellent who done it. The male lead is reprehensible and you actually want him bumped off but the main female characters are not exactly people you want to cheer for either. The cast do an excellent job playing their parts and I would highly recommend a listen.

Good from the beginning
but excellent towards the end.
The way the two wives describe each other conflicts with how each one is being portrayed by the author, making it a very gripping and curious read.
You can't figure it out until it's all revealed.
Definitely worth my credit and time.

"Love and hate. All of nothing."
Strangely, I enjoyed every moment of this book. And I say 'strangely' because to me the plot was fairly idiotic, the main characters (in particular the current and ex wives of the soon-to-be murdered husband) were well developed but unbelievable, and the final resolution, the identification of the killer, was, indeed, the one I had expected for at least half of the book. But still, I loved it.
Andrew Page is murdered, stabbed, at the remotely located gathering of guests attending the golden wedding anniversary party of Loise's parents. Louise had been married to Andrew for fourteen plus years before he had divorced her to marry the elegant Caroline. The two women, understandably, violently disliked each other, played for his attention and frequently felt hurt or resentful over his reactions. Stating a few weeks prior to the fatal day of the party, characters are revealed and the story is told out mostly in alternating first person accounts from the points of view of the two wives, current and ex, with intermittent cuts to police interviews or an alternate third party. By this clever technique, the reader's sympathies are kept in an indecision over who might be responsible for the ultimate denouement, and why.
The Audiobook has several narrators, although the similarity of the female reader's voices rather negated this otherwise clever idea. The introduction of a male voice for the police investigator was a clear marker of the change to present day,,however. All of the performances were good.
As previously stated, I really enjoyed listening to this book despite the near absence of plot and a dependence on the personalities of the protagonists. It was absorbing, engrossing and, at times, repulsive and it commanded my interest throughout - not to determine the perpetrator (I had already, correctly as it happened, settled on that from quite early in the story), but from sheer pleasure at the interpretations each wife presented, and batty though both could be, the emotional joys and hurting of both clearly emerged.
But enough of that: get the book and read it for yourself.
