I was totally immersed in this book. It gripped me from the start. Some awesome plot twists . This book had you guessing who was the real perpetrator. What a mixed up family. The story is told by different people . What a twisted love triangle. I changed my mind so many times trying to work out who did it.

I love Tess Stimson, she's amazing. Her writing is fantastic and I always feel sucked into her work. This book was no different, creepy, thrilling and a great read. I liked it a lot and would recommend to anyone looking for a fun thriller.

LOVED this. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. You find out in the beginning that Andrew dies, but who killed him is truly a mystery up until the very end. You think you know who killed him and then another piece of evidence points in another direction. BRILLIANT.

The different perspectives was a great way to tell this story. Everyone has their secrets and their issues. The feud between Caz and Louise was so much drama but it made it so addicting.

I would highly recommend this book and I will search for more books by this author. What an enjoyable read.

A brilliant tense and dark domestic noir story. I loved it. Brilliant writing as always. Thisnquthor never disappoints

A good “ who done it” read. One in three starts out with husband , ex husband , and father Andrew murdered. All the familial characters are developed going backwards in time until the day of the murder. It is up to the reader to decipher through the twists and turns of murdered Andrew’s family and friends lives to come up with the murderer. The author keeps the reader an engaged detective, as he/she attempts to solve the mystery.

4-5 stars, while I found this to be a quick, good read, I can’t give a full 5 stars, because something was lacking for me! Overall, I think it provided the thrills and chills I savor, and had some good trusts and turns, as well as shocks, but I noticed it wasn’t completely unputdownable for me. I would definitely recommend to my fellow genre lover and think most will absolutely enjoy! Will definitely read more by this author.

A massive thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me the opportunity to review an early copy of this book.
I’ve been a fan of Tess Stimson for a long time now and this does not disappoint.
Told mainly between the perspectives of Caroline who is currently married to Andrew, and Louise, his ex-wife, this is a fast paced, twisty thriller that had me totally gripped from beginning to end
Louise blames Caroline for breaking up her marriage to Andrew, who left her one week after the birth of their baby. Caroline believes that the marriage was already over in everything but name by the time she started seeing Andrew.
Andrew and Louise has two children together, Bella and Tolly, Caroline and Andrew together have Kit,who isa very similar age to Tolly.
Louise’s parents have always stayed close to Andrew, and the story unfolds as a countdown to their wedding anniversary party, after starting with the horrific death of a main character.
I loved this book, the twists just kept coming, every time I thought I had the plot guessed, there was another turn, it kept me gripped from beginning to end.
Thoroughly recommended.

What a dramatic start to this enjoyable read! The location: Burgh Island, Devon where Louise Page’s parents Celia and Brian Roberts are due to celebrate their golden wedding anniversary. The scenario: the gory and bloody scene with Andrew Page dead and his ex-wife Louise and current wife Caz covered in blood. They blame each other. Who is the liar? The story is told principally by Louise and Caz with a countdown to the party, interspersed with police interviews which works very effectively.

This is a well written and enthralling thriller as for a long time the two wives versions contradict each other and your sympathy switches from one to another as does who you believe. This is very tantalising and keeps you interested to the end. Both women have intriguing backgrounds which potentially points the finger at both of them which adds to the mix. A series of unpleasant events occur which rapidly descends into something that resembles mortal combat as both women fight to win back or keep Andrew. He really isn’t worth it ladies, which as the book unfolds becomes apparent. There are few likeable characters apart from the children but that adds to the entertainment value! The plot is good and the potential killer net becomes wider and wider as several have a motive to kill Andrew beyond the obvious rivals. There are so many secrets, lies and such palpable jealousy it’s like watching an impending train wreck. My only negative is that a few sections don’t always seem completely relevant but at least it gives you chance for a breather!

Overall, a really good novel which is well written and plotted, with drama aplenty to keep you transfixed and reading on to the end. The setting on Burgh Island is excellent too!

With thanks to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for the ARC.

I’d like to thank Avon Books UK and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to read ‘One In Three’ by Tess Stimson in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Andrew and Caz are attending an anniversary party organised by his ex-wife’s parents, Celia and Brian Roberts. The next morning Andrew is found at the Beach House lying in a pool of blood with a knife by his side. The two women in his life, ex-wife Louise and current wife Caz, are found standing over his dead body and each are accusing the other of his murder. They say it’s always the wife and although they find it hard to be civil to each other they both love Andrew, so which one of them hates him enough to want him dead?

‘One In Three’ is a complex story of two families joined together by the one man. It has a gripping plot that commences seven weeks before the party to the present time and is woven around the police questioning those present at the party as they try to solve the mystery of who murdered Andrew. There are interesting characters, drama, nail-biting suspense, and twists and turns that keeps you guessing till the very end. This is the first I’ve read by this author and I enjoyed it so much I’ll be looking out for her other novels.

I read this ARC for an honest review
All thoughts and opinions are mine


This is a new author for me
Absolutely loved this

A quick, unpredictable read, I fairy devoured this in 1 sitting. Couldn't put this down

Highly recommend

A big thank you to Netgallery and Tess Stimson for providing a free E-Arc of this book in exchange for an honest review! This book was so good. I could not put this book down and ended up finishing it in one day.
This book centers around the two women who fell in love and married the same man. The book switches between the povs of the current wife , Caroline (Caz) and the ex-wife Louise. The beginning of the story starts out with the death of Andrew and the two wives being questioned by the police. Then the story is laid out with the events that led up to his death. Each chapter is "the truth" of the events as that character sees it. The characters were all well developed and complex. I had to take some time, at the beginning, to figure out how each character was connected and involved in the story line, but it was not long that I had a vested interest in the final outcome for each person. The pacing of this book was well done. The author did a great job layering the action and misdirection to cause me to keep guessing who might the killer be. I could not believe how far some of these characters were willing to go in order to find and defend a sense of "rightness" for their actions. I was totally shocked and amazed when the killer was finally revealed. I agreed with the author's ending of the story and found it very believable. I would highly recommend this book to those who love a great mystery/thriller that will keep you up late trying to figure out the identity of the killer as well as their motive! I can't wait to read more books by this author!

Fascinating and quick read full of twists and turns! There was not a boring page as I devoured it almost at once. It tells the non-uncommon story of blended families and you quickly figure out who is the real problem. However, as it twists and turns along, you are never quite sure who the victim is nor who is the perpetrator. Fantastic!

One in Three by Tess Stimson centers around Louise, Andrew, and Caz. Louise and Andrew are divorced and share two children. Caz is Andrew’s new wife and they have a son together. It’s a typical modern family that turns ugly at Louise’s mother’s party. She decides to invite Andrew and Caz, knowing full well that the former and current wives do not get along. This ends badly with a murder that leaves everyone questioning who exactly is responsible. Family politics takes on an entirely different meaning in this domestic thriller written from multiple character’s perspectives. At first, it’s hard to see what caused the violent hatred between Louise and Caz besides the obvious, but when Louise starts intruding on Andrew and Caz’s relationship, it becomes clearer and clearer. The suspense comes from the family drama that happens when children are involved after a divorce. I found the pace to be a bit slow and the characterization lacking. That being said, it did deliver in the mystery department and was worth the read. 3.5 stars rounded up to 4.

Thank you to NetGalley and Avon Books UK for the arc of One in Three by Tess Stimson,

Thank you Tess Stimson for such a gripping and engulfing and unstoppable thriller.

This follows and goes around Andrew, he divorced his ex wife Louise a mere 4 years ago so he can be with Caroline his new partner. Louise his ex wife still deeply loves Andrew but Caz (Caroline) does not want to give him away of course. This tells the events and everything in between right up to his own death but both women are standing over his dead body... who did it? Caz or Louise?... this is what had me gripped from the start all the mysteries and secrets regarding this and that it had me guessing and guessing which i liked.

It is told in 2 perspectives, Louise and Caz. Some from Louise's best friend Min too. Both women were unrelaible perspectives/narrators as you was directly sucked into their life and not sure which one to trust or believe....

But who killed him? Tess is such a great writer that she makes you change your mind quickly...

But wow this was such a great thriller and I thoroughly enjoyed reading this so thank you to Netgalley and Avon Books UK for approving me to read this!

Definitely recommend if you love a good thriller!!
5 stars!!⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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 with another woman, who is now his wife. Louise still loves Andrew and isn’t quite ready for him and Caz to live happily ever after. .

Louise decides to dig into Caz's past and in doing so, they both discover things about Andrew they possibly wished they hadn’t! So, when Andrew is murdered at a family party, both women are found standing over the body. Who killed him? The ex wife or the current wife?

Devious, addictive and a real good read’

Great story! I was engaged the entire time. A real page turner. Looking forward to reading more books from this author! Highly recommend!

A superb family psychological thriller set against a domestic love triangle with Andrew who is married to Caz and they have a son Kit. He divorced Louise. 4 years ago, they have a daughter Bella and a son Tolly.

Each character is well drawn, and Andrew is seemingly caught in the middle. Whilst the women try and score points against each other in various (and devious) ways. One minute you are feeling sorry for one of them and the next they are quite ruthless. Loved those girls!

This book has more twists than Chubby Checker and builds to a great climax with an anniversary party to which everybody is invited. No more spoilers from me, but we know who ends up dead from various police interviews dotted throughout the book. What an excellent way of drawing the reader in?

Loved it all (apart from those grammatical errors revolving around the letters 'fl' it seems).

Thanks to Net Galley and Avon Books for the chance to read and review.

Thanks to netgalley, Avon books UK and Tess Stimson for the advance copy of this book in exchange for my review.

I LOVED this one.
Ex wife, Louise and current wife Caz are found standing over the body of husband Andrew. There is animosity between the two women to say the least. As each women's history is unfolded you realize both have things in their past that could make them the one to want to murder Andrew. Which one is guilty? Read it and find out. You won't be disappointed.

A story of murder and betrayal. At first i found the story a bit hard to get into, but that didn't last long. The story is mainly from the two pov of the ex wife and the current wife. I really enjoyed how the story all came together in the end, and i wasnt expecting it when the who dunnit was revealed. Another brilliant read from the brilliant Tess Stimson. Thank you to net galley for the chance to read

If Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, what if it’s two women? Louise watches her ex-husband Andrew start a happy new family with his younger wife, Caz. Caz watches as Andrew cannot really let go of the ties he and Louise built together – plus the former couple have two children. Louise plans to do all she can – and I do mean, all – to ensure Andrew, and everyone else, knows the truth about who Caz is and what’s she capable of. But there’s a family party coming up, a time of happiness and pleasure, and someone is going to end up murdered. I liked how all the threads of the plot came together, and the ending was appropriate. It’s so well layered and thoroughly, twistingly, enjoyable.
