The Woman in Cabin 10

- Author name: Ruth Ware
- Date published: 2016

Described as compulsively readable, Ruth Ware’s psychological thriller “The Woman in Cabin 10” is set on an ultra-exclusive cruise ship sailing in the North Sea. One night, a travel journalist onboard witnesses a woman being thrown overboard, but when every passenger is accounted for the following morning, things become increasingly twisted. Reminiscent of Agatha Christie’s work, this is a must-read for anyone who loves a good mystery.
