Have you read The Woman in Cabin 10? Do you know of any mysteries set on a cruise (I want to read more)? It isn’t a mystery masterpiece, but it does keep you turning the pages while you’re chilling at the beach or trapped in a long road trip. Now, it sounds like didn’t enjoy The Woman in Cabin 10. It’s something out of an overdramatic Lifetime movie. How and why it happened will surprise you. The murder victim is a prominent guest of the Aurora. What year is this? This is not the Titanic!Īpparently, the Aurora owner Richard Bullmer blocked the cruise’s internet access. Laura had no access to the internet at all on the Aurora.
You aren’t sure if they were truly supportive characters or Ware needed simple pawns to push the story forward.Ī major problem I had with the book is the wi-fi issue.
You’ll start to wonder if the case will ever be solved or remain trapped in Laura’s dark void of inner conflict.įinally, the book’s last act picks up, but it leaves you forgetting about 90% of the characters. The book eventually goes into repeated cycles of Laura’s attempts to solve the murder, drinking, and claustrophobic despair. You follow Laura through her scary home invasion, boarding the Aurora, and meeting the eccentric super-rich onboard. MURDER, MAYHEM, & NO WI-FIĪuthor Ruth Ware starts The Woman in Cabin 10 with a promising beginning. Not to say I want to solve a murder mystery while I’m on it. No immediate plans for a cruise yet, but it’s fun to think about it. I picked up The Woman in Cabin 10 since I was in cruise vacation mode. Seems like “don’t believe the drunk chick with issues” is a trending theme in thriller/suspense novels now. The “I’m Not Crazy” lady trope reminds me of Rachel Watson from The Girl on the Train. Shortly before the cruise, she endured a frightening home invasion. Laura’s a frequent drinker and prone to panic attacks. One night onboard, she witnesses a passenger’s body dumped into the ocean.ĭoes anybody believe Laura? Not with her history. Travel journalist Laura “Lo” Blacklock takes an opportunity of a lifetime to write a feature story abroad the luxurious Aurora cruise. Publication: Gallery/Scout Press (July 19, 2016).
