Seller Description
In this tightly wound, enthralling story reminiscent of Agatha Christie’s works, 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. The sky is clear, the waters calm, and the veneered, select guests jovial as the exclusive cruise ship, the Aurora, begins her voyage in the picturesque North Sea. At first, Lo’s stay is nothing but pleasant: the cabins are plush, the dinner parties are sparkling, and the guests are elegant. 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 (or someone) 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 another taut and intense read in The Woman in Cabin 10—one that will leave even the most sure-footed reader restlessly uneasy long after the last page is turned.

What readers are saying about this book
Summarized by Pango AI
PangoBooks readers have mixed opinions on this Ruth Ware book. Some find the mystery engaging and the plot twists surprising, appreciating its ability to keep them on the edge of their seats. However, others criticize it for being slow-paced, repetitive, and featuring an excessive number of characters that can be confusing to track. The main character's behavior, particularly her self-medicating with pills and alcohol, is a point of contention, with some readers finding her annoying and hard to empathize with. Overall, while many enjoyed the suspense and unpredictability, others felt it didn't fully live up to their expectations or compared unfavorably to other works by Ruth Ware.
