I read many mixed reviews of The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware so wasn’t sure what to think, but I actually really liked it.

Lo Blacklock is a journalist who writes for a travel magazine. She is given an assignment to spend a week on a luxury cruise that is set to sail the North Sea and the fjords of Norway. The Aurora is a smaller cruise ship with only 10 cabins and geared towards a more wealthy crowd that can afford this type of exclusivity. At first things are going well, but when Lo hears a body being thrown off the balcony of Cabin 10 things take an unexpected turn for the worse.

The setting on the cruise ship was different than other thrillers that I’ve read which made it interesting to me. I had a sense of claustrophobia when they were in the staff quarters below deck which to me meant Ware did a great job at writing those scenes to make you feel that way. Although I figured out what was going on, I definitely would recommend this to fans of mysteries and thrillers and look forward to reading more of Ware’s novels.
