*THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, NOW A NETFLIX FILM STARRING KEIRA KNIGHTLEY*

A PASSENGER IS MISSING...BUT WAS SHE EVER ON BOARD AT ALL?

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...

Critic Reviews

Agatha Christie meets The Girl on the Train in this stupendously good read… Scary and unsettling, it’s edge-of-your-seat stuff
A tense, moody drama set on a press trip that goes horribly wrong… Ware has produced a fantastic variation on the woman-in-peril theme, with a plucky protagonist and a brilliantly claustrophobic setting (Joan Smith)
A rollicking page-turner that reads like Agatha Christie got together with Paula Hawkins to crowdsource a really fun thriller
A fantastic read. A fog-enshrouded cruise ship, a twisty puzzle of a murder mystery reminiscent of Agatha Christie, and unrelenting suspense. Batten down the hatches and prepare to read it in one sitting! (Shari Lapena, author of The Couple Next Door)
The Woman in Cabin 10 is an edge-of-your-seat thriller full of great characters and twists (Reese Witherspoon)
[It] channels Agatha Christie’s murders at sea in a satisfying contemporary direction. (Mark Lawson)
Taut and provocative
This atmospheric thriller will have you gripped
Ware's virtues are gloriously old-fashioned: an ability to combine a sense of menace with the lightness of touch...and sharp prose.
I absolutely swallowed it whole; she takes that classic golden-age premise of a locked room and turns it into something completely right for the twenty-first century (Erin Kelly)
All stars
Most relevant
First 3.5 hours I was questioning whether to persist, but absolutely glad I did as the rest of the story kept me looking for opportunities in my day to keep listening to hear what happens next.
The main character drove me mad and I felt a bit trapped in her head (a place I didn’t like because she’s so annoying), but the actual events in the story had me hooked and gasping out loud at each discovery.
Definitely worth a read / listen.

Slow to get into, but worth it

This is the second of Ruth Ware's books I have read and although the plot is gripping the heroine left me frustrated. I found her highly strung and irritating . Despite this I would recommend the book and will continue to read more by this author.

Great plot irritating heroine

My first mystery/thriller book and I loved it! Easy to understand and to keep up with the plot. Very descriptive storyline, I could replay every word in my mind and see the scene clearly.
Great read!

Kept me wanting more!

The story itself is interesting and suspenseful but why oh why would you get a narrator to do lengthy passages of dialogue in terrible foreign accents??!! It really takes you out of the story and makes it hard to enjoy all the way through.

Good story, terrible accents
