Enjoyable quick read. I'd guessed the who in the whodunnit about halfway thru... but it didn't lessen my enjoyment of the story.
It's always a pleasure to come across a well-written thriller, and Ruth Ware's The Woman in Cabin 10 is definitely one of them. The book had me hooked from the very first page, and I didn't want to put it down until I knew how everything was going to end.
The story follows Lo Blacklock, a journalist who writes for a travel magazine. She's given the opportunity to go on a luxury cruise, and she's ecstatic at the prospect of getting away from her hectic life in London. But things quickly take a turn for the worse when she witnesses a woman being thrown overboard from the cabin next door to hers.
Lo is convinced that the woman was murdered, but no one on the ship believes her. She starts to second-guess herself, and she's not sure who she can trust. The suspense builds throughout the book, and I was dying to find out what was going to happen.
The Woman in Cabin 10 is a well-crafted thriller that will keep you guessing until the very end. If you're looking for a fast-paced, edge-of-your-seat read, then I would definitely recommend this book.
Flimsy mystery, poorly written. The protagonist yelled at everyone, from her elderly neighbor to waitstaff, so much that I stuck with it just in the hopes she'd get killed off. Wish I hadn't.
Straight up garbage. I've heard Ruth Ware is a good writer, but I can't agree based on this mess. Lo is so boringly unreliable and stupid that I had to dispense with the book after hitting the 1/7th mark. Waste of time!
