The Woman in Cabin 10

Ruth Ware

Kayleigh's Thoughts

The Woman in Cabin 10 is a fast-paced mystery-thriller centered on a journalist who boards a luxury yacht only to witness a possible crime—one no one else believes occurred. The novel weaves a tense, claustrophobic atmosphere with psychological twists, unreliable narration, and suspenseful pacing that keeps readers guessing. This novel marks a strong entry point into Ruth Ware’s catalog. While some of the descriptions run long and certain scenes could benefit from tighter editing, the mystery holds steady and the stakes remain high. 

This was the book that made me trust Ruth Ware again, and I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough.
