Lo works for a travel magazine, so when her boss offers to let her take a plush assignment on the maiden voyage of a new luxury cruise, she jumps at the chance. Instead of enjoying the North Sea and the northern lights, Lo instead witnesses what she believes is the murder of her next door neighbor, the titular Woman in Cabin 10. Too bad no one else on the ship has seen this woman, nor is anyone staying in that cabin...

I thought this premise sounded pretty awesome, alas the execution didn't thrill me. I was compelled to finish, but some of the pathways to solving the mystery made me a bit skeptical. The connections between Lo and other characters seemed rushed and her fixation on appearing "professional" yet chugging down the booze grew a little annoying.

I was a bit disappointed that the burglary of Lo's apartment at the beginning of the story that caused a lot of her initial anxiety and the mention that the reason Cabin 10 was empty was ALSO due to a burglary were in the end, not connected at all. It seems Lo's was completely coincidental, which stinks
