About this listen

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)

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

Liked the ebb and flow of sympathy (or otherwise!) for each of the characters. Had an idea who had done the deed, but suspense kept going to final chapters.

Clever format

This book really confused me. I had to keep listening to the chapters again and again. I mean, don’t get me wrong I’m easily confused so maybe not all the books fault. The idea behind the book was good and it was a good story in the end, although the ‘twist’ didn’t surprise me at that stage.

Got there in the end

It’s a gripping story but I listened to women fight over a man more than the crime itself, which I didn’t want to.

Gripping but
