One of the Girls follows a group of women on a hen weekend for Lexi. But there are many hidden secrets among the women, will they all make it home safely? This was a semi closed room mystery that leaned more toward a character study than thriller. While I’m not always on board with character driven books, I was immersed in this one and enjoyed it a lot. Shades of Big Little Lies, there were troubling undercurrents of each character and all were lying about something.

By this time, she already knew that she wanted to become a fiction author but needed money to support herself.I soon grew tired of hearing about how gorgeous and charming Lexi was and how her BFF is so protective of Lexi's time and how wild she is. All the women said that Ed’s death was just an accident. Ana and Lexi stayed friends. Eleanor was slowly healing. Fen and Robyn got married. The Review: I found some of the characters dull, yes I’m talking about Robyn! I couldn’t relate with her. I even thought skipping her parts but it would cause problem for me to understand entire premise fully so I patiently read her POV! What a terrific, fun and engaging book this was. The author Lucy Clarke was a great writer and storyteller. She really captured the exotic atmosphere of the Greek isle and villa which made the story a true pleasure to read. Many red herrings throughout pointing th finger at someone yet then misdirecting the reader to the next person. From the prologue you know someone will be killed but until the end you won't know who, what or why they were killed. (Loved that) The hot dry sun, the shimmering blue water, the tension and unspoken angry feelings brewing and bubbling beneath the surface of almost all of the women and made if feel as if an explosion was coming soon yet I just didn't know which woman would boil over first.

If we'd been more astute, if we'd listened more closely, if we'd not turned away from her - from ourselves - we could have stopped it. That's what makes this so much worse. We could have changed it. Then there is the future sis-in-law, she's awkward. Of course there's tension with Robin. Bella and Robin have been estranged since that incident in high school. And why is Fen acting so remote? I loved One Of The Girls: beautiful writing, suffused with menace, complicated female heroines, and an ending I couldn’t predict.”— Gillian McAllister, bestselling author of That Night Lucy Clarke’s novel “The Blue” is a spine-tingling adventure work in the tradition of “The Beach” by Alex Garland. Ho-hum....another book with girls in the title where the girls are off to an exotic location where everyone has a secret, someone dies and everything is resolved.

Lucy Clarke goes from strength to strength; this utterly addictive, trouble-in-paradise novel is her best yet. The plot shifts like sand beneath the reader’s feet.” — Erin Kelly, bestselling author of Watch Her Fall Audio Review: This audiobook was narrated by Sofia Zervadachi. It was a very easy listen, and her voice was pleasant and fitting to the story. I did think that she was saying “Elena” the whole time, and only realized the character’s name was Eleanor when I got the finished copy and flipped through it! But that’s not the whole story. Lexi has a secret about her relationship with Ed. Fen has a secret about the villa. Bella had a secret that came out at the airport, and now she’s not sure if her relationship with Fen will last the weekend. Ed has a secret that Eleanor knows about, but she doesn’t know that it will come out that weekend. Robyn has been living a life with the volume turned all the way down and needs this weekend to find herself again. But it’s Ana who has the secret that could bring everything to a grinding halt. But nothing’s tranquil in a thriller and the table is set as the six women invited to the four day getaway each had a distinct voice and agenda. We know from the beginning that someone is murdered, but who?
