The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware ~ Book Review

Book Description:

In this tightly wound story, 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. 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 only describe as a 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…

With surprising twists and a setting that proves as uncomfortably claustrophobic as it is eerily beautiful, Ruth Ware offers up another intense read.

Review:

I read this book as part of the Indigo book club and really enjoyed it. If you have read Girl on the Train or The Couple Next Door you will like this story also. It is dark, deep and suspenseful. Is Lo crazy or losing her mind? Was there a woman thrown overboard? Its a whole who-dun-it type of story without the real detective. Lo reports a murder on board only to feel no one believes her as no one else has seen this lady that Lo is talking about. During the story it flashes to Lo's boyfriend and her family with emails to each other about Lo's whereabouts as she hasn't returned from her trip yet. A one point I was really starting to think that Lo wasn't going to be very lucky.

The author hooked me from the first chapter and kept me on my toes about what was happening and who actually did what on board this amazing cruise ship. I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars. I look forward to reading more by Ruth Ware in the future.
