Also, be sure to check out Carol Fitzgerald's latest "Bookreporter Talks To" interviews with Ruth Ware and Wendy Walker.

Ruth Ware's new "locked-in" mystery, ONE BY ONE, is an upcoming Bookreporter.com Bets On pick. Eight coworkers from a booming tech company and a former colleague find themselves stranded in a luxury ski cabin after a devastating avalanche. As panic and the desire to escape increases, something more sinister is in the works: members of the group are found dead...one by one. Along with delving into the specifics of the book, Ruth talks to Carol about the trials involved in "relaxing" ski trips, how renowned mystery writers influenced her writing of the book, and what she is working on next. Click here to watch the video and here to listen to the podcast.

DON'T LOOK FOR ME, Wendy Walker's latest psychological thriller, also will be a Bets On selection. Molly Clarke has disappeared, leaving behind only an empty car at the edge of town and a note at a hotel. She's not the first to leave this way, following the same behaviors that police call a "walk away." But her family is skeptical about this. Molly was last seen getting into a car with a stranger who offered her a ride. So what really happened? Wendy and Carol talk about these "walk aways" and how often they occur in real life. Wendy also shares a personal story that sparked her idea for the novel and explains the camaraderie she has with her fellow thriller authors.
