The Woman in Cabin 10

Ruth ware is the author of The Women in Cabin 10 , this is the only book i have read by this author but some of her other books are The Lying Game, and The Turn of the Key which is coming out this year. This book is a suspenseful murder mystery, the book itself is really unpredictable and mysterious, the plot goes in all sorts of directions.

Lo blacklock is a middle aged women who is a journalist, she has a drinking problem. The book starts with her being hungover and sensing something is wrong, her flat was being robbed at the exact moment and as the story progresses it shows that she has been at a disadvantage since then. For her job she gets to go on a luxurious cruise ship and be amongst influential people who are in jurnalism wanting to get a better perspective and to better their  career, but being on this boat was nothing but horrific for her with 2 murders, kidnapping, identity theft, and missing people. The crew members and other passengers believed Lo was unreliable, an alcoholic and just imagining things, most of this assumption came from her flat being robbed and broken into and the rumors that followed.

Personally I liked the book it was a good easy read, but i was not a fan of the abrupt ending and there were some details in the plot that had me wondering where it would lead to next but didn’t go anywhere almost like unfinished thoughts. The book had a really good storyline and it almost reminded me of The Girl on The Train which is also a really good book and i highly recommend that book to read once you finish this book.
