One in Three

By: Tess Stimson

Narrated by: Victoria Fox, Bea Holland, Julie Maisey, Joan Walker

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 reader 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

Excellent mystery/thriller!

Well this was one exciting read! It's certainly an original story too. The beginning starts off with a bang... a murder with two women covered in blood standing over a body. But what happened and why?
One in three centers around Andrew, his ex-wife Louise, and his current second wife Tess and their tangled lives. It becomes a bitter battle of wills between Tess and Louise. Of course Andrew seems to play one off the other and thus it becomes a sick game with all three.
I found the story quick moving and I loved how the story builds up and with more and more being revealed about each character and their background/life. It compelled me to keep turning the pages. There were great twists in the story and an ending I didn’t see coming.
I thought is was well written, great character development, and the story to be original. A great and satisfying read for me.
In the audible version I found the beginning to be a little confusing on who was who, but after re-listening the first few chapters that was all cleared up. There were seven narrators, and they all did a great job of each character. Definitely one credit worthy. This is the first Tess Stimson novel I've read, and I look forward to reading her other books. I highly recommend this book or audiobook to who ever enjoys a good mystery/thriller.

Most def captivating and unique!

Wow! What a wild ride! I so enjoyed this British thriller, “One in Three,” by Tess Stimson and narrated by a talented ensemble cast, including Bea Holland, Chris Dyer, Antonio Davies, Adam Bromley, Victoria Fox, Julie Maisey and Joan Walker. This complex and intriguing story is a true gem, with well-developed characters. The narration is top-notch, with all performers in perfect sync. The story revolves around Louise and Caz, two women connected by their love for the same man, Andrew. As Louise digs into Caz's past, the tension builds, and secrets begin to unravel. After Andrew's murder, both women are found at the scene, leaving one question: who's responsible? This engaging whodunit delivered a stunning surprise ending. Highly recommended and worth a cherished Audible credit and a great value at $9.93. If like me,you enjoy an enthralling mystery with unexpected twists, "One in Three" is a must-listen. Epic, indeed!

Twists and Turns

I would recommend this audio book. It will keep you guessing. It also has a bit of "War of the Roses" feel amongst the women.

You need to buy this!!!

Finally a book that I loooove! Well read, well written! I’ve never read anything by Tess Stimson but I will buy them all now. Wow!! What a page turner!!!

Keeps you guessing

You will suspect a lot of the characters in this book. Until the very end actually. That being said, The epilogue is hard to get through. The description given of losing a child is utterly heart wrenching. It makes me wonder if the author ever lost a child.
