The Woman in Cabin Ten came
highly recommended from many different friends and blogs, and although it's good, I'm not sure that I enjoyed it quite as much as they did. Although I seem to be the only one who didn't love
The Girl on the Train, either, and I find it's for the same reason. I just didn't love the main character. She's not all that likeable. I did, however, like the overall plot, and enjoyed the mystery with a few twists and turns.
Amazon says:
In this tightly wound, enthralling story reminiscent of Agatha
Christie’s works, Lo Blacklock, a journalist who writes for a travel
magazine, has just been given the assignment of a lifetime: a week on a
luxury cruise with only a handful of cabins. The sky is clear, the
waters calm, and the veneered, select guests jovial as the exclusive
cruise ship, the Aurora, begins her voyage in the picturesque North Sea.
At first, Lo’s stay is nothing but pleasant: the cabins are plush, the
dinner parties are sparkling, and the guests are elegant. 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 (or someone)
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 another
taut and intense read in
The Woman in Cabin 10—one that will leave even the most sure-footed reader restlessly uneasy long after the last page is turned.
I know it might seem odd to include a post on a book I didn't love, but with as much as I read, it happens from time to time (and trust me, if it's something I absolutely wouldn't recommend, there won't be a post at all!!). As someone who reads reviews of other avid readers, it's nice to hear an honest review, too.
As always, I'd love to know what's on your bookshelf! Always looking for something great to read.
Happy Reading!
was this month's pick for my book club and was interesting, to say the least. It's classified as a psychological thriller and has a similar feel to Gone Girl. Although while I couldn't put it down and was anxious to figure it out, I think the one word that would best describe the book is disturbing, to the point I had some pretty wild dreams after reading it.
