The Woman in Cabin 10

In this tightly wound, enthralling story reminiscent of Agatha Christie's works, Lo Blacklock, a journalist who writes for a travel magazine, has just been given the assignment of a lifetime: a week on a luxury cruise with only a handful of cabins. The sky is clear, the waters calm, and the veneered, select guests jovial as the exclusive cruise ship, the Aurora, begins her voyage in the picturesque North Sea. At first Lo's stay is nothing but pleasant: The cabins are plush, the dinner parties are sparkling, and the guests are elegant. But as the week wears on, frigid winds whip the deck, gray skies fall, and Lo witnesses what she can describe only as a dark and terrifying nightmare: a woman being thrown overboard. The problem? All passengers remain accounted for - and so the ship sails on as if nothing has happened, despite Lo's desperate attempts to convey that something (or someone) has gone terribly, terribly wrong.

My first Ruth Ware book, and it certainly won't be my last. It was such a page-turner! I got through it rather quickly. So good!

This was a FUN read! I love a good mystery and to have it on a boat made it even more interesting. The descriptions of some of the horrifying visions the main character were so vivid and added so much, even if they weren’t always necessary. I also love that this took place on the North Sea near the Fjords of Norway. This book was just a really great page turning thriller. I highly recommend it.

I listened to the audio book with Nathan, and he liked it a bit better than me. I thought that the protagonist was unhinged and annoying. I was irritated throughout and found it hard to sympathize with her problems. This book did surprise me, and I am glad that I read it but it seemed like a carbon copy of The Woman on the Train
