Woman in Suite 11

A Novel

De: Ruth Ware

Narrado por: Imogen Church

In this follow-up to #1 New York Times bestselling author Ruth Ware’s multi-million copy mega-hit The Woman in Cabin 10, Lo Blacklock returns to attend the opening of a luxury hotel, only to find herself in a white-knuckled race across Europe.

When the invitation to attend the press opening of a luxury Swiss hotel—owned by reclusive billionaire Marcus Leidmann—arrives, it’s like the answer to a prayer. Three years after the birth of her youngest child, Lo Blacklock is ready to reestablish her journalism career, but post-pandemic travel journalism is a very different landscape from the one she left ten years ago.

The chateau on the shores of Lake Geneva is everything Lo’s ever dreamed of, and she hopes she can snag an interview with Marcus. Unfortunately, he proves to be even more difficult to pin down than his reputation suggests. When Lo gets a late-night call asking her to come to Marcus’s hotel room, she agrees despite her own misgivings. She’s greeted, however, by a woman claiming to be Marcus’s mistress, and in life-or-death jeopardy.

What follows is a thrilling cat-and-mouse pursuit across Europe, forcing Lo to ask herself just how much she’s willing to sacrifice to save this woman…and if she can even trust her?©2025 Ruth Ware (P)2025 Simon & Schuster Audio

Imogen Church's Impeccable Narration

I dont understand why one of the biggest British thriller writers tends to write her heroines as gullible, moronic, idiotic women who lack even a shred of common sense. It made me not want to root for this heroine and worse still to believe that any tragedy she encompassed was brought on entirely of her own accord, basically deserving the bad things that happen to her. I dislike feeling that way about someone I'm supposed to be on side with. Unless, of course, that is the point. Maybe dont waste a credit. I ADORE Ruth Ware which is why I did.

Ruth Ware fan

I love the connection to “The Woman In Cabin 10” I love Ruth Ware’s writing and the narration by Imogene Church. Can’t wait for the next one!

So Good!!!

Nice segue from 10 to 11. The writing is sharp, intense and the plot is captivating. Character development is strong and intriguing. I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen next. Just know that there is no pause button on this roller coaster. One twisty turn after another. Loved listening to this one!

Imogen is so talented and gifted as a narrator. It’s easy to get lost in the characters as she gives them all their own unique voice and even accents. She fully brings RW’s words to life!!

Whats with the kid voice….?

The story is incredibly slow. Lo is insufferably naïve. The child’s voice being narrated is nails on a chalkboard irritating. I was so excited for this pre-order…was.

Way too long, not much of a plot twist

Love Ruth Ware, but this one didn’t hit. Lots of chitty-chat that dragged on. So much could be cut out. Why are there so many descriptions of the food? Not suspenseful at all. Lo was so gullible and idiotic. Always love IC but narrates this one way over the top. Like chill, just read normally. I haven’t loved a RW book since The IT Girl. Sadly, disappointed.

Is Lo really that dumb?

I made it half way through and found this not only implausible but ridiculous. A grown woman of her intelligence could not be this stupid and gullible. I love Ruth Ware but this feels like a clutching at straws kind of story to ride on the success of Woman in Cabin 10. It’s fine but definitely not her best. I found it dragged and also because of the ridiculousness of the stupidity of Lo - too many things had to go just right and it wasn’t believable. Eh.

Annoying narration

The narration really annoyed me. It was just way too extra to say the least. Almost made the story comedic. The little boys voices made me want to stop listening. My eyes rolled back in my head so many times I can’t count. It was just too theatrical and almost silly.
I’ve listened to every Ruth Ware book out there and I know I’ve heard this narrator many times but she just was over the top for me this time.

Ruth Ware will always be my fave

Ok, I love, love, LOVE Ruth Ware. I can say nothing bad about her. However, I DO agree that I hate how she makes this protagonist so gullible. I don’t want to include spoilers, but I’m just a tiny bit annoyed. But then again, most people always want to think the best of others and someone that isn’t manipulative doesn’t automatically assume others are. But she should have known there’d be trouble….
Still….. GREAT story… I’ll now go re-listen to Woman in Cabin 10

What happened to Ruth Ware?

I’ve been glued to Ruth Ware’s work since “In A Dark, Dark Wood” but things have gone sideways with these last two offerings (and particularly THIS book)
First of all, I don’t read British mystery to hear about your children, unless those children are an important aspect of the plot. Did no one HEAR the way Imogen Church sounds in the first couple of chapters with those terrible and screeching child voices? I had to skip through them because it was so off putting.
I’ve never given IC a negative review and have probably purchased at least 20 books performed by her-but this was absolutely horrible.
The story is so ridiculous, there is no real mystery, there is no character development, there is nothing tangible about this whole thing.
It’s a snooze fest from start to finish.
This was perhaps the most disappointing book I’ve read in many years-mainly because I’m SUCH A FAN of her work and The Woman In Cabin 10 was excellent.
Lose the “happy families” (so much time wasted there) flesh out the characters so that they actually become a point of interest, and tell us a story.
This was the worst book I’ve read in a very, very long time.
So sad.
Ruth Ware please come back to us!
We miss you.

REALLY?

Wow, this story was unbelievable from the start. It was difficult to like the main character since she continued to make stupid decisions. I’m a fan of Ruth Ware but this one was not good.
