NOW THE #1 NETFLIX MOVIE
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).

Fairly good once you get past the whining

I bought this book because I 'sort of' enjoyed Ruth Ware's last book. For more info on that read my review of her book In A Dark, Dark Wood.
I think overall she's a good writer and I enjoy her writing style quite a bit. This book is similar in style and pace and it's exciting and keeps you guessing. Unfortunately, as in her previous book, the main character does a good bit of melodramatic whining. I'm not sure if this component of the character's personality was part of the point of the story. I suppose it provides a contrast for her eventual transformation, but it was so grating I almost stopped listening. Thankfully the whining factor diminishes in the last quarter of the book.
I'm glad I kept listening because I really enjoyed the story and the ending. It's not a great book, but I think it's pretty solid and was worth the credit.
The narration is well done.

Disappointed!

I really liked the story but the amount of vulgar language was really disappointing. I probably won't listen to any of her other books because of the language.

Glued to Finishing the Audio!

I couldn't stop listening! AMAZING and gripping; I was frightened throughout, and happy to see she took the ending where I wanted to see it go. I found a new author to follow!

Suspenseful until the end!

This was a great listen that was hard to turn off. The story is suspenseful with twists and turns that kept me guessing until the end. I really enjoyed the main character and seeing her journey throughout the book. I highly recommend. #mystery #didn'twanttoturnoff #Suspenseful #tagsgiving #sweepstakes

ehhhhh.....

The book had slow parts and I often found my mind wandering while listening. The overall plot line was good, but the main character was often frustrating and much time was spent on her inner dialogue.

The Woman in Cabin 10

A good read, some twists and turns, ending a little puzzling though, could feel the frustration of the lead character

Loved it!

It was a little hard for me to get started, but really glad I did. Loved it!

It was alright

The narrator is incredible. The books is just ok. The author has much better books. All the other reviews said to make it through til the end. It's not really worth it. If your bored I suggest stopping and going to another book this one isn't amazing. The ending isn't really a twist.

Good Thriller

What made the experience of listening to The Woman in Cabin 10 the most enjoyable?

It was a very intense mystery.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes it did. The forward flashes made you think that the heroine could really become a victim. It kept you guessing about what was really going on up until the final chapters.

What about Imogen Church’s performance did you like?

She did a good job not only with the characters but with the difference between what the heroine was saying and what she was thinking.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

It was a good thriller.

Any additional comments?

I felt that the author did a good job in keeping you guessing up until the end as to just what was going on with the girl in cabin 10 and just who was involved in the murder or if there really was one and what exactly happened.

Excellent narrator!

The narrator was excellent. She had unique voices for all of the characters- quite impressive. The story was great. Good mystery with some twists and turns to keep it interesting.
