The Woman in Cabin 10

The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware

'Agatha Christie meets The Girl on the Train'
This was meant to be the perfect trip. The Northern Lights. A luxury press launch on a boutique cruise ship.

A chance for travel journalist Lo Blacklock to recover from a traumatic break-in that has left her on the verge of collapse.

Except things don't go as planned.

Woken in the night by screams, Lo rushes to her window to see a body thrown overboard from the next door cabin. But the records show that no-one ever checked into that cabin, and no passengers are missing from the boat.

Exhausted and emotional, Lo has to face the fact that she may have made a mistake – either that, or she is now trapped on a boat with a murderer...

......................... So what did I think?  The writing is of a poor calibre and the action stretches credibility in places.  But it is a crafty little plot and the book fulfils the function of a good whodunit.  Good holiday reading, I will give it to my daughter for her forthcoming holiday.
