A fantastic read - and one that does keep you guessing until the end ( and I would say beyond the end almost!) but with three unreliable narrators, what are you to expect?
A pacey domestic thriller which is easy to read and really packs a punch- thanks netgalley for the ARC :)

A slow burning thriller that kept me on my toes. I had no idea where the book was going. Whose side am I on? Who’s innocent? Who’s guilty? The way the author pretty much “dropped the mic” at the end with that stunner was excellent. I think the finished copy will be a winner.

I was utterly delighted to read an advance copy of ‘One in Three’, in exchange for an honest review, as Tess Stimson is an author whose work I utterly adore! She consistently delivers a fantastic read, and this, her latest novel, is certainly no exception!
This unique and deliciously twisty thriller is the perfect binge read!
The novel focuses on the relationship between Louise, ex wife of Andrew, and his second wife, Caz. We discover very early on that one of these 2 women, (or a third - hence the title!) is responsible for committing a heinous crime. Motives come thick and fast, while the clever use of smoke and mirrors make this a very satisfying read. I found the character development to be excellent, all of whom I could relate to and largely care about. I don’t want to give too much way away so I will just say giving this one 5 stars is a no brainer! Definitely worth a read!

New author for me an absolutely terrific read.A book that grabbed me kept me reading late into the night.Highly recommend looking forward to reading more by this author.#netgalley#avonbooksuk

Her books always sounds so good but then I have a hard time getting into them. I think this one may just have a similar plot to the last few I read and I just gave up and moved on.

This book tells the stories of Caz, Andrew's wife, and Louise, his ex-wife, moving between them to tell the story from their point of view. Caz and Louise do not get on - Louise still loves her ex-husband and hates Caz for taking him from her, while Caz is sure Louise is out to get her for being married to her ex-husband. As each woman starts to try to find ways to undermine each other, they may just find secrets about the man they married... When Andrew is found murdered, both women are found standing over the body... but who killed him?
This was the first book I've read by Tess Stimson and I really enjoyed it. The plot was thrilling and kept you guessing, with plenty of twists and turns (which I love!). I enjoyed getting to know all the characters, and couldn't stop reading until I found out what really happened.
Thanks to the publisher, author and NetGalley for an advance copy of this book in return for my honest feedback.

Having read Tess Stimson’s previous books, I was looking forward to this one and it doesn’t disappoint.
When Andrew is found dead at a family party with both his wife and ex-wife standing over him, the police believe one of them murdered him, but which one? Furthermore, how can they prove it when they both deny they had anything to do with it?
An excellent fast paced story which was an enjoyable read.

I flew through this one!!! Please make more like it. I already recommended this to friends. I will read this one again .

This mystery is one that can be confusing and intriguing at the same time. The characters are not likeable-except for the little boys-the others are just not nice people. The two wives, the husband, the teen Daughter, the elderly mom...all add up to folks we don’t want to meet and know real life. Spare us from them... the author made them come alive on the pages of this book. Therefore, in their own way, for their despicable acts, they might be memorable. This was a difficult book to put down because I wanted to see how it ended, and believe me the ending was somewhat surprising. I did not like the crude language, and I did not like the going back and forth in time. I like a narrative that is told in sequence, doesn’t jump around. That being said, I read this early Netgalley version for review, and other readers might not mind the latter.

This is the first book I've read by Tess Stimson and it definitely won't be the last. Its one of the best books I've read in ages and I literally couldn't put it down. There were lots of twists and turns to keep you guessing right until the very end and if you liked "Girl on a train" you should definitely read this.

The blurb of this book definitely caught my attention. When the wife and ex wife of Andrew are questioned over his murder, who did it? The book spans backwards to a few week previously up to the climax of Louise's Mum's birthday party. Louise was married to Andrew for over ten years when he left her just after their baby boy was born for Caz.
Caz and Andrew have a son as well, and on the surface the two women get along fine, but when no-one is around that is definitely not the case as the two women are trying to score points, neither wanting to be the loser.
There was an amazing twist to this book that makes it a great read.

One in three is a complex psychological thriller that takes you on a convoluted journey that leads to murder, complex family dynamics are at the fore of this book, very relevant as so many families are now made up of step parents and siblings.The twists and turns keep you guessing and Are surprising.The characters are all diverse with some being more likeable than others but I particularly liked Bella and the fact that many teenage angsts were tackled in a sensitive tender manner! Caz played the part of the stereotypical wicked stepmother well although she also displayed a genuine empathy for teenage Bella!
Overall a good read to keep you entranced
Thank you netgalley for this early read.

My first book by this author and I was very impressed. Although I thought the book started quite slowly it soon gained pace and was a great psychological read with likeable characters and a intense plot. I will definitely look to read more by this author. Highly recommend.

Thanks to Netgalley for a preview of this book. It was very exciting and I really enjoyed it. The characters were likeable and although the plot was a little slow initially it got going.

This was a very entertaining read . Not having read any of Tess's other books I wasn't sure what to expect .
The story really is about two women and the man in the centre of their lives . Louise is the ex wife , Caz the current wife , as their efforts to point score against each other really gets going you get the story from both of them . The book starts with a murder and then back tracks to the weeks leading up to it . Andy the guy in question is an absolute sleaze but neither woman can see it , and I found myself getting madder that no one was taking him to task . That being said it was a great fast paced read that I finished in afternoon . Will certainly seek more out from this author .

This was such a good read. I absolutely devoured it in a day. I was absorbed immediately and could not get through it fast enough. Highly recommended! Can't wait for the next book by Tess Stimson.

Hands down this is one of the best books I’ve read so far this year! I instantly felt as though I knew the characters and could sympathize with them all. All except Andrew, he was slimy from the first! OIT had everything a domestic/psychological thriller lover could want... unreliable narrators, dark plot, twists galore, etc. Read in one sitting! Will recommend to others!

OMG this book is fantastic, loads of twists and turns so you don’t know how it’s going to end! Complex flawed characters throughout the book, showing how you never really know what someone is capable of, how far they will go, and how love can utterly twist your perspective!! Absolutely loved it. I‘ve read a fair few of Tess Stimson’s books over the years and this I think is one of her best!! Off to read her old books now. Get your hands on a copy of this, you won’t be disappointed. Thanks for letting me review this book. Raced through it.

Omgggg what a book!! Absolutely loved it!! From start to finish I could not put it down. I loved this author's other books so I knew I wouldn't be disappointed and I was definitely not. Do not pass this book by I can promise you will love it as I did.

Omg full of twists and turns. Being the ex and watching the new family was heart wrenching but frightening at the same time
