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).

"A thriller aboard a yacht on the North Atlantic sea. A travel journalist hears a suspicious splash of something thrown overboard in the middle of the night. A body? Or was it just her recently traumatized mind playing tricks on her…. A little difficult to follow all the characters—I listened to the audiobook. It might be better if read."
"I enjoyed the atmosphere of this thriller, reminding me of rainy days and a slight melancholy, despite the fact it takes place on a vacationing boat in the winter. The MC was frustratingly paranoid throughout the book, unable to maintain a level head or make straightforward sense of what was occurring. Towards the end she became more assertive and less neurotic, and the resolution was pleasantly surprising though not quite shocking in the way that makes your brain spin. The story leisurely paced, this was a relatively low stress read, as I didn’t feel I had to remember too closely the characters or suspected crime. Overall, I enjoyed the writing and pace of the narrative, the ending satisfying enough to make the time well spent. "
