This wasn’t a typical city at sea type of cruise ship, but rather a smaller, boutique style craft with only ten guest cabins. She’s been invited to be a guest on the maiden voyage of a luxury cruise ship, Aurora. Lo is a journalist who has been handed a plum assignment.
Would she be able to keep momentum with this one? Or would it end up being a huge disappointment after such a stellar debut? While I wasn’t as blown away by this one, I still thought it was good read. In A Dark, Dark Wood was one of my favorite reads of 2015, so I was really curious about Ware’s sophomore novel.
With surprising twists and a setting that proves as uncomfortably claustrophobic as it is eerily beautiful, Ruth Ware offers up another intense read. 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… But as the week wears on, frigid winds whip the deck, gray skies fall, and Lo witnesses what she can only describe as a nightmare: a woman being thrown overboard. At first, Lo’s stay is nothing but pleasant: the cabins are plush, the dinner parties are sparkling, and the guests are elegant. In this tightly wound story, 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. 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 novel from Ruth Ware-this time, set at sea.
