LoveReading Says
I’m a long-time fan of Ruth Ware’s novels, and The Woman in Cabin 10 is one of my favourites. A locked-room mystery in the style of Agatha Christie, the story is set on a boutique cruise ship heading for the Northern Lights. Travel journalist Lo Blacklock – herself on something of an emotional journey – is woken by a scream from the cabin next to hers. She races to the window, just in time to see a body plunging overboard. But there’s no record of anyone being allocated that cabin, and no passengers are missing. Is Lo losing her mind? A brilliantly claustrophobic mystery with a cracking twist you’ll drive yourself mad trying to figure out.
