Book Review: The Woman in Cabin 10

I got this book when I saw it at a Half Price Books because I enjoyed reading In the Dark, Dark Wood, also by Ruth Ware.

Just like In the Dark, Dark Wood, The Woman in Cabin 10 is about an unreliable narrator who thinks she has witnessed a crime and gets in trouble for it.

The premise of the book takes place in a small luxury cruise ship (with only ten cabins), where our main character is a reporter who is subbing for her boss. She is out of her league to start with, but worse than that, she is attacked by a burglar in her own home a few days prior to embarkation day, so she is shaken and hasn’t had much sleep, which makes her jumpy and confused to boot.

But, the fact remains, she’s seen a woman in cabin 10 that apparently no one else has seen. Could she be the body she thought she heard splashing overboard?

The story takes you through her confusion, making you wonder if what she thinks happened, actually happened, and all the while she tries to ask for help in a ship where everybody could be a suspect. And really, who could you trust? It’s a little unnerving.

I really enjoy this genre, and Ruth Ware knows how to deliver. I would read more books from her for sure. They’re fun.

Cheers!
