SOON TO BE A NETFLIX ORIGINAL
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).
Reviews
Awful read
2By MaililThe descriptions and the agonies of the protagonist just seemed to stretch too long. Some of the things that happened struck me as unreal or exaggerated or even impossible. I basically hated the book but skimmed to work my way to the end, and the ending was not a good explanation of the events.A real page-turner!
5By Queen is 74Great book with plenty of plot twists. Couldn’t put it down, even reading under the covers late into the night!Heart pumping read
5By Sharka13Did not see the end coming! Well done! Exhilarating read!i liked it
4By iambilliswearlollllololi liked it and found it interesting, but i’m not too sure i would read it again. the ending was weirdish but fulfilling, yet again i don’t think i would read it again2nd Hand Exhaustion
3By Sarah SteelsI enjoyed the plot and the twist at the end, but I got 2nd hand exhaustion reading this. The main character is tired and intoxicated throughout most of the book, which I understand is meant to play into her unreliability, but for some reason, I thought it a little excessive. I also had a difficult time visualizing the setting, which is rare for me.Decent read
4By Holly_Pop22This book was overall pretty decent. Not the worst, not necessarily the best. It was hard to follow at times. The beginning was tough to get into. I had to read a couple of chapters before it actually grabbed my attention. Once you actually get into it and things takeoff it gets better. There were a lot of characters to keep up with at times and found myself struggling to remember their importance and decifer who was who. A couple of plot twists along the way overall it was a decent book.Beautifully woven story
4By KatieMac37Great twists and an ending that delivers - a throughly enjoyable read.Unbelievable plot twist
5By gcasta6I never seen that coming. I never even suspected it or even imagined it a possibility. So much uncertainty and tension. Once I got to chapter 27 I couldn’t put it down finished it that night. MUST READ THRILLER!Mysterious
4By Pretty998Mystery; a bit eerie but the plot is engaging and gets you thinking. The writing is detailed and if you like to deep read I think this book is great.practical
4By AlyssaBashfordthe story answers all of your questions. but nothing outstanding or truly important to be taken away from the characters or turns.The woman in cabin 10
1By bea9028The story is so bad and so unreal- no one can survive in freezing waters and endure what the main caractère did in this book! It’s ridiculous and the story is so predictable!Woman in Cabin 10
3By Sherri RoseI am sorry to say I was very disappointed in this book as I found myself questioning why this would ever be published to be honest. As an avid reader of mystery and suspense it simply did not live up to the hype, but I will certainly read another book from this author in the future! Happy reading!! SherriBoring
1By KhlopinBoring, slow and typical. Plot went in circles. Waste of time and money. Honestly was insulting to her readers.Disappointing ending
2By nat-aloiNot too bad, but I was left hanging in the endSlow start but worth the read
4By angiestephmhIt was a slow start for me to get I to it but it was definitely worth the read. I enjoyed how the book was narrated and how the author let us in from an outside perspective after each part.It’s a good one.
5By Findaddy16Great read!Disappointed
2By OzcromeI felt let down by this book. The plot was bland and the pace was slow. I can usually devour a good book in a matter of days, especially when I genuinely can’t put it down. For what it’s worth, it took me a month to get through this one and I was glad to be done.Audio book was better
3By Photomom8404Characters got a little foggy for me, but entertaining on a road tripBizarre story
3By notsmilingI had no patience for this book and I was dying for it to end. No pun intended.
