"From New York Times bestselling author of the "twisty-mystery" (Vulture) novel In a Dark, Dark Wood, comes The Woman in Cabin 10, an equally suspenseful and haunting novel from Ruth Ware--this time, set at sea. 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.… (more)

Another thriller that just didn't work. I feel like I remember this one being one of the novels that really got Ruth Ware popular, but I don't think it was very good. I found the whole set up completely implausible and the main character was so annoying.

I think I've read 7 of [[Ruth Ware]]'s novels now, and I'm not sure why. I guess they are entertaining in a way, but I don't think I've really loved any of them. ( )

This was a fun, solid mystery! Nothing too complicated or crazy, but it was a romp nonetheless. It definitely has some of those Agatha Christie style vibes to it: the large cast of characters, the distinct and elegant setting, and a disappearing victim no one seems to know. I think it’s a fairly easy mystery; after a point there is very little question as to who is doing this and how. That’s partially why I enjoyed it because I like having a fighting chance at solving the mystery along with the main character. And I did! I would say I had about 80% of things figured out by the Big Reveal. There were a few weak points here and there, but overall I had a fun day binge reading this. Finally, I think the depiction of anxiety and panic attacks is some of the MOST accurate I’ve read. I personally thought those bits were very well done and made me sympathize with the main character more and more as the story progressed. I’ll for sure be checking out more by Ruth Ware! ( )

The begining was kind of sleep and I contemplated putting the book down but once I got ahold of the Audiobook and listed to it instead of reading it, it made it a little easier. The story overall is pretty good, I was nevery really sure what was happening until it happened, a lot of suspense kept me hanging. The end was pretty good but I felt there was a few things that could have been cleared up a little better. Otherwise a good read and would recommend it, just not my favorite. ( )

In Ware’s underwhelming sophomore mystery (after 2015’s In a Dark, Dark Wood), Laura “Lo” Blacklock thinks stepping in for her pregnant boss for a week-long jaunt on the new miniature cruise ship Aurora will give her a leg up at Velocity, the magazine where she’s toiled for years.... Those expecting a Christie-style locked-room mystery at sea will be disappointed.

The cast of characters, their conversations, and the luxurious but confining setting all echo classic Agatha Christie; in fact, the structure of the mystery itself is an old one: a woman insists murder has occurred, everyone else says she’s crazy. But Lo is no wallflower; she is a strong and determined modern heroine who refuses to doubt the evidence of her own instincts. Despite this successful formula, and a whole lot of slowly unraveling tension, the end is somehow unsatisfying. And the newspaper and social media inserts add little depth.
added by Lemeritus | editKirkus Reviews (May 3, 2016)
 
Although a plot involving a woman who witnesses a murder but is not believed is not new to the mystery genre, Ruth Ware updates it, adding the anxiety attacks and Lo’s drinking, as well as the burglary, to increase believability.... The Woman in Cabin 10 is a strong follow-up to Ware’s her debut suspense novel In a Dark, Dark Wood (2015) and will not disappoint.
 
I like the characters, I love the plot and everything about this book. Good job writer! If you have some great stories like this one, you can publish it on N0velStar.
