INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER

FROM THE AUTHOR OF IN A DARK, DARK WOOD

Featured in TheSkimm

An Entertainment Weekly “Summer Must List” Pick

A New York Post “Summer Must-Read” Pick

Included in Summer Book Guides from Bustle, Oprah.com, PureWow, and USA TODAY

An instant New York Times bestseller, The Woman in Cabin 10 is a gripping psychological thriller set at sea from an essential mystery writer in the tradition of Agatha Christie.

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 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 (or someone) 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 another taut and intense read in The Woman in Cabin 10—one that will leave even the most sure-footed reader restlessly uneasy long after the last page is turned.

Page turner that I COULDN'T put down!
Ruth Ware is one of my new favorite authors! This book gave me fresh fears and takes you to a place that’s so full of panic abs concern that you can’t put the book down. It arrived very fast and is of good quality. No typos, smeared ink, double typed words or anything like that. No stickers to ruin the cover or the back. Will for sure be buying more Ruth Ware books. Highly recommend. It’s a thriller, full of twists and turns that keeps you guessing until the very last page.

5.0 out of 5 stars FRIGHTENING VOYAGE
Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2017

When Laura (Lo) Blacklock’s basement apartment is broken into, while she is there, she is frightened for her life. But when the intruder finally leaves, and all she has lost is her handbag and its contents, including her phone, she should be grateful. But she is terrified, claustrophobic, and shaky.

So why would she agree to go on a cruise for her magazine, Velocity? A cruise might be the last place someone like her would go. But she does.

Her boyfriend Judah is headed to Moscow for his work, but he is not sure she should go either. Set in London, the story takes us next to the ship.

The Aurora Borealis is on its maiden voyage, headed to the Northern Lights…and it is a beautiful, yet very small ship. Activities are planned for every moment of each day…but Lo is still having trouble sleeping. So it is not surprising that she awakens quickly when she hears a sound…like a big splash, followed by a scream.

But none of the crew are giving her any credibility when she tells her tale, not even when she says that earlier she had met a woman in Cabin 10, and had borrowed some mascara. She even shows them the wand. Nilsson, the captain’s assistant, who insists that there is no guest in Cabin 10 and there never has been, seems especially condescending, suggesting she might have been drunk…and then mentioning the medications she is on. How does he know?

 The Woman in Cabin 10 The Woman in Cabin 10 was a riveting tale that kept me hanging on by a thread as it catapulted from one strange event to another. Narrated in Lo’s first person voice, we see the other passengers from her perspective. They all seemed untrustworthy, including the owners, Lord and Lady Bullmer. Anne Bulmer looked like she was on death’s door, and apparently was a cancer patient. Richard Bullmer was especially gregarious, but that would not be unusual. Yet at this point, everyone seems suspicious.

Others include people Lo has met before, like Ben Howard and Tina West. Ben was a former lover, years ago, so she doesn’t think she can really trust him. Tina has a reputation for pushing her way to the top.

Throughout the tale, we suspect everyone on the ship, and then, as stranger events unfold, we are not sure that Lo is going to survive.

An alternate narration includes e-mails and news accounts suggesting something going on behind the scenes back in London, something that does not bode well for Lo.

The denouement, followed by an unexpected tidbit at the end, was stunning…and left me feeling that I could finally let out the breath I had been holding. 5 stars.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unlikeable Characters, Great Plot
Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2017

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.

fter thouroughly enjoying In a Dark, Dark Wood and The Turn of the Key, I had high expectations for Cabin. And there is a very good story in here, but it is buried under a magnitude of characters, none of them likeable. The protagonist, Lo Blacklock, is a reporter for a travel magazine, and thus you would expect to encounter an intelligent, professional and articulate woman. Lo however seems to be stumbling everywhere, either drunk or seasick, incoherent, obnoxious and hysterical. She makes all the wrong and stupid decisions one could make and halfway I was hoping she would just fall of the railing, leaving the story to be told through another character. No such luck.
It's a pity because with a more likeable persona and fixing a few holes in the story, this could have been a 5 star read, now 2,5 at most.
