SOON TO BE A NETFLIX ORIGINAL INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
Reminiscent of a classic whodunit, this “pulse-quickening” (Oprah Daily) instant New York Times and USA TODAY bestseller follows a journalist searching for a missing woman on a cruise ship—a woman that everyone else insists doesn’t exist.
Travel magazine writer Lo Blacklock has just been given the assignment of a lifetime: one week on a luxury cruise with only a handful of cabins. The sky is clear, the waters calm, and the elite guests jovial as the exclusive cruise ship, the Aurora, begins her voyage in the picturesque North Sea.
At first, Lo’s voyage is perfect, with a plush cabin, elegant dinner parties, and plenty of relaxation. But as the week wears on, frigid winds whip the deck, gray skies fall, and Lo witnesses what she can only describe as a dark and terrifying nightmare: a woman being thrown overboard. The problem? All passengers remain accounted for—and so, the ship sails on as if nothing has happened, despite Lo’s desperate attempts to convey that something has gone terribly, terribly wrong…
With surprising twists, spine-tingling turns, and a setting that proves as uncomfortably claustrophobic as it is eerily beautiful, Ruth Ware offers up a taut and intense read in The Woman in Cabin 10—proving, once again, her place as “the Agatha Christie of [her] generation” (The Washington Post).

Exciting Read and Great to Share
"I am really enjoying reading the book. The tension really rises each time you learn information about what is happening days after where you are in the story as told from Laura's perspective. It keeps you engaged and wondering what's going to happen next!?"
— Leslie (5/5)
Boring and not mysterious at all.
"Didn't think the main character was well developed or a sympathetic character. Suspense wasn't acheived naturally. Book moved very slow."
— Anonymous (3/5)

RUTH WARE HAS MY HEART

— Ttem (5/5)
Suspenceful & Intriging
"I heard about this author Ruth Ware through a talk show on tv and without even knowing it I was in the market to entertain a new Author to read his or her books. I purchased Cabin 10 for a starter book as this was the one being talked about on the show and OMG what an excellent choice. Suspenseful , breathtaking and a book that not only I could not put down but had finished in 3 days. I have since purchased Ruth Ware books The Woman in Suite 11, Death of Mrs Westaway In a dark Dark Wood and The Turn of the Key. All books by Ruth Ware are excellent, suspenceful and extremely well written and totally hold the readers interest. Your money is well spent on these books for sure!!"
— Sharon Z. (5/5)

— Morgan (5/5)
I was attracted to the title as I have been on a cruise before and looking forward how the movie will turn out
"Suspenseful, new genre for me, makes you wonder what you would do in the same situation. You really wonder till almost the end if she is going to make it."
— Bibliophile (4/5)
The book stood out on the table at indigo and was a staff pick of the month!
