'Dark. Twisty. Addictive. I couldn't put it down' LISA JEWELL
She loves her family. She'd never let anything happen to them ... Would she?
On the outside, Maddie is a happy young mother with a new baby. But on the inside, she's afraid.
Afraid that her marriage to Lucas isn't what she thought.
Afraid that she's having mysterious blackouts where her memories should be.
But how can she ask for help when something terrible is done to her family?
Who can she turn to, who can she trust?
And how does she know it wasn't her?
A gripping domestic thriller, perfect for fans of Lisa Jewell, TM Logan and Andrea Mara

Reviews / Votes
PRAISE FOR TESS STIMSON:'What a page-turner! I couldn't put it down. It had everything I love in a thriler.' Sarah Alderson, bestselling author of The Weekend Away
'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
'Dark, twisty and addictive' Lisa Jewell
'More chilling than Gone Girl and twistier than The Girl on the Train' Jane Green

Person
Tess Stimson is the British author of ten novels, including top-ten bestseller The Adultery Club, and two non-fiction books, which between them have been translated into dozens of languages.
Her first "proper" job after graduating from St Hilda's College, Oxford (where she read English) was as a news trainee with ITN (Independent Television News). She reported and produced regional and world stories, travelling to hotspots and war-zones all over the globe.
In 2002, she was appointed Professor of Creative Writing at the University of South Florida and moved to the US. She now lives and works in Vermont with her husband, Erik, their three children, and (at the last count) two cats, three fish, one gerbil and a large number of bats in the attic.
