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.

I did enjoy this book and the interesting setting. I struggled in the middle to really stay invested in the plot and the characters. However, I did enjoy the ending. I thought it was very a good and unexpected twist.

I'd hoped that the burglary at the beginning would be linked somehow. I kept waiting for this to be brought up.

Overall, a good read.

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!
