NOW THE 1 NETFLIX MOVIE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Reminiscent of a classic whodunit, this “pulse-quickening” (Oprah Daily) instant New York Times and USA TODAY bestseller follows a journalist searching for a missing woman on a cruise ship—a woman that everyone else insists doesn’t exist. Travel magazine writer Lo Blacklock has just been given the assignment of a lifetime: one week on a luxury cruise with only a handful of cabins. The sky is clear, the waters calm, and the elite guests jovial as the exclusive cruise ship, the Aurora, begins her voyage in the picturesque North Sea. At first, Lo’s voyage is perfect, with a plush cabin, elegant dinner parties, and plenty of relaxation. But as the week wears on, frigid winds whip the deck, gray skies fall, and Lo witnesses what she can only describe 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 has gone terribly, terribly wrong… With surprising twists, spine-tingling turns, and a setting that proves as uncomfortably claustrophobic as it is eerily beautiful, Ruth Ware offers up a taut and intense read in The Woman in Cabin 10—proving, once again, her place as “the Agatha Christie of [her] generation” (The Washington Post).

5 stars easily! I realize I am a little late to the game in reading this one, but if you are someone who loves thrillers, and by some chance you haven’t read this one yet, it is a must! Generally, I admit that I am pretty easily-pleased when it comes to thrillers. I want something that is going to keep me engaged, keep me guessing, and ultimately surprise me in some way at the end. This book hit all of these marks for me, hence the 5 stars. I loved the cruise ship setting and the assortment of different characters, although there were a couple individuals that I couldn’t quite keep track of. I was invested in the outcome from the very beginning, and this was an easy read, in that I never felt myself having to “push through” certain parts of the book. I enjoyed the author’s writing style and felt that the story flowed easily. I also appreciated that the book didn’t include anything particularly gruesome, graphic, or disturbing, as I feel like many thrillers often include these elements unnecessarily for the shock value. I thought the twist at the end was solid and unexpected, although I do feel it would have been quite difficult to guess based on the information provided in the earlier parts of the book. There were also some details regarding the twist that I was a bit confused about and wish would’ve been explained in more detail, but overall I thought it was an interesting and surprising outcome. I can’t say what these details are without including spoilers, but overall these minor confusions did not take away from the story for me. The ending was a bit open-ended, but not too much so as to leave you feeling unsatisfied. I thought the author did a fantastic job of finding the balance between leaving you unsatisfied in the end and wrapping the story up with a pretty bow. It definitely kept me thinking for a few minutes after I finished the book. Overall, I really enjoyed reading this one and can absolutely understand why it is so popular. Thrillers are my genre of choice, and it sometimes can seem as though they get a bit repetitive, and therefore are really not that memorable. This thrilled felt more original to me, for a multitude of reasons, including the unique setting, the introduction of multiple interesting characters, and the well-crafted resolution to the story.

At the beginning, I would have definitely given this book two and a half--or possibly three-- stars. But it picked up pace towards the middle of the story, and the ending was so satisfying that I was compelled to give it a four. The story features Lo Blacklock, travel writer, who has just been given the assignment of her career: a chance to embark on a luxury five-star cruise to Norway with exclusive interviews with all of the glittering philanthropists, stars, and socialites on board. The first night, she borrows a tube of mascara from the woman in Cabin Ten. The second night, she hears screams and a huge splash from the veranda in that direction as something heavy is tossed overboard. The third night, she frantically begins questioning people around her as she expresses her concerns about what she has heard, and not one person takes her seriously. The cruise staff attempts to remonstrate her with the cold truth: that there has never been a guest in Cabin Ten. But Lo knows what she knows, and what she has seen and heard. And she has the borrowed object to prove it. Unless of course, her evidence is also gone. Similar to what I read from earlier reviews: the only thing that makes this book hard to read is that the main character is not easy to like. She struggles throughout the story with depression, anxiety, post tramautic stress syndrome, and alcoholism, none of which bothered me in the least, because it's relatable, and part of being human. It was also interesting to see how these issues unnecessarily affected her credibility as a witness, somewhat reminiscent of The Girl on the Train. But what actually bothered me was the protagonist's deeply negative and sometimes entitled outlook on everything and everyone; I think sometimes it was meant to be vaguely funny, but after awhile, it left a bit of a cloud over the story. Her responses to the people around her were consistently sharp and biting, and all of her perceptions critical, from start to finish. And the book is written through Lo's eyes, so that taking a step back from her outlook is hard to do. The other characters, likewise, are vaguely narcissistic and difficult to sympathize with. However, if you come into it knowing that, the rest of the book is fantastic. I loved Ruth Ware's first book "In a Dark, Dark Wood" because of its classic whodunnit mystery premise, and this one is no different. At least ten different characters rise in your mind as the main suspect throughout the story, and even in the last few chapters, I didn't see the conclusion coming. As a longtime mystery fan, it usually takes a lot for me to not be able to find the culprit, and this is one that I sadly, and thrillingly, was unable to unravel on my own. I love the hint of old fashioned flavor in Ware's writing style; both of her books reminded me of playing the board game Clue as a middleschooler, never knowing if Miss Violet or Colonel Mustard are innocent, or if the candlestick is what it seems. I will definitely be hoping for more by this author in the future, and I highly recommend this book as a good read for mystery fans. Be prepared though: it might make you not want to go on a cruise for a long, long time.

The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware was an okay mystery/thriller for me. The premise was intriguing—a travel journalist witnesses something suspicious aboard a luxury cruise ship, but no one believes her. The isolated setting created a tense atmosphere, and I was curious to see how everything would unfold. While the story kept me engaged enough to keep reading, I found parts of it slower than expected and wasn't completely invested in the characters. The mystery had some interesting twists, but overall it didn't leave a lasting impression on me. A solid thriller if you're looking for a quick mystery, but not my favorite from the genre.

I glanced at the other reviews on Amazon before buying this book, and because there were quite a few negative, almost didn’t. However, I’m so glad I did! While not quite perfect, it’s very good and worth reading if you like suspense stories. Laura “Lo” Blacklock sets off on a luxury cruise as part of her job. Her first evening on the vessel, she overhears commotion in the next cabin and what sounds like a body being thrown into the sea. Lo is convinced it’s the body of a mysterious woman she met earlier who lent her mascara (but wasn’t seen by the other passengers). But who murdered her and why? Because Lo apparently has a reputation as a neurotic, alcoholic pill popper, others on the ship do not believe her, despite her relentless efforts to alarm them. She struggles to fit together the pieces of what happened, but it starts to get her into more trouble than she bargained for... Too confusing to be a real whodunnit (there are a lot of characters aboard this ship!), the reader is more drawn to the amateur detective work of Lo. She is a bit impulsive, reckless and stupid in her pursuit of the truth. Not to mention, this girl doesn’t know the meaning of the word “discrete”. There are parts of the story that drag a bit, or seem redundant. Likewise, some aspects are not explained enough. However, aside from this, the author does a very good job of engaging the reader and creating an eerie tone. The setting is great, and the plot not entirely formulaic. I really enjoyed it!

This one had been on my radar for awhile. So happy i finally read it. It starts with a bang and keeps going. The MC being an unreliable character helps add to the vibe of the book. Absolutely loved the last 2 pages. It was a perfect way to wrap it up. Highly recommend!

I wavered between rating this with 3 or 4 stars...I wish there was an option for 3.5. Because the book did hold my interest for the majority of the reading, I decided to go with 4. This book was very easy to get into. It opened right away with an event that captured my attention, and had me wanting to read more. As I read through the first half, I felt it nearly impossible to put the book down. With that being said, about two-thirds of the way through, I got a bit tired of the narration and thought that part of the book dragged on incessantly and somewhat unnecessarily. I also felt annoyed by the narrator who seemed to complain about her pounding head, her anxiety, or her insomnia every third sentence. The plot was also initially super reminiscent of "Girl on the Train" (unreliable narrator who drinks too much and witnesses a disappearance), which felt kind of like a rip off. I agree with what some other reviewers have said - the "who-done-it" was solved surprisingly early and I felt it was actually somewhat anti-climactic. After this was revealed, I didn't have as much interest in continuing to read (although I did, of course, hoping that another twist would come). There was actually a second twist that did surprise me. What I really didn't understand was the ending. I was so confused about what "truly" happened at the end of the story. I was thinking of re-reading the end to see if that could help clarify, but honestly the ending wasn't super gripping and I don't know if it would even be worth my time. I did read Ruth Ware's other novel "In a Dark, Dark Wood" and I think I preferred that one. Overall I'd say this is an intriguing story that will capture your attention and have you wanting to read more for most of the novel's length.

Your friend-- let’s call her Debbie Downer-- is a claustrophobic, alcoholic, neurotic insomniac. She’s also a total screwup at her job, and honestly, not very bright. Her house was just broken into so you’re trying to cut her a break, but her nonstop complaining— it’s too hot, it’s too cold, the ceilings are too low, the room’s too small, my clothes smell, I’m too sleepy, I’m too hungry, I’m not hungry, I’m hungover, etc.— is getting to you. Plus there’s the counting to herself (One, Two, Three…!) and the constant, random weeping. She’s a hot mess. Would you want to spend a lot of time hanging around her? Well, if you can stand to spend 352 pages with her, then you’ll love Lo Blacklock, the protagonist of this book. I won’t go into a plot synopsis, others have done that already. I managed to solve the “mystery” 66% into the book (I’m on a Kindle), so kudos to the author for making the plot two-thirds difficult. As a reader it’s no fun being more clever than the protagonist.The only mystery to me was how the author was going to fill the other 33% of the book. Some weird things in this book: -In an early chapter, which I can only guess is used as a plot device by the author to introduce the boyfriend, Lo has a nonsensical argument with him on par with: "You did it” “No you did it” “No you” “No you” “I love you” and breaks up with him. I sat there thinking “What the hell did I just read?” - At another point, during the cruise Lo locks herself in her cabin and spends a number of chapters trying to figure out how to get out. Ok, I made that up, but if it had happened, it wouldn’t have been out of place. - Throughout, there was an absolute lack of modern communication on the luxury cruise Lo was on. No phone, no internet, like it’s a pirate ship from 1633. I’m no expert on Wifi at sea, but come on. The Bushmen in the Kalahari have iPhones at this point. It felt like a ruse to support the plot. - And finally, the casual, illogical, loss of the evidence. It’s like Hercule Poirot saying, “Hey, I think I’ll leave the murder weapon right here, in this house full of suspects. Yeah, it’ll be here tomorrow when I come back for it. Not. worried. at. all.” I know I’m being really hard on the author, but that’s because the critics’ reviews heightened my expectations by making the book out to be on par with The Usual Suspects, in terms of plot twists. It’s not. And that’s not the author’s fault. The book is a straight up mildly entertaining mystery, and not badly written, but there’s not a lot here to hang your hat on.
