| The Woman in Cabin 10 |
"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..."

When my flatmate bought this book the blurb caught my
attention straight away. I was looking for an easy read after my exams so
bought it for my kindle for only £1.99 and I wasn’t disappointed.
The story kept me turning the 'pages' and I finished it in just
over a week because I wanted to know what happens. I can’t say too much about
the plot that isn’t on the back of the book for fear of giving away the story.
I do get slightly annoyed when books take a while to get to
the ‘main part’, which has been described already. The body was thrown
overboard around quarter of the way through so I was waiting for it to happen.
I understand some background has to be set but still for me this could have
happened a little quicker. I also found it difficult to empathise with Lo at
the beginning because I felt the way she treated her boyfriend was quite cruel
and honestly I don’t like that trait in anyone. However, I did feel that change
when you start wanting the other people on the ship to believe Lo then start
doubting every other passenger.
Before buying the book I read some of the amazon reviews,
which almost put me off. Apart from some people thinking the main character was
unlikeable they also said ‘the end was
predictable’ which I couldn’t disagree with more. I couldn’t predict
what was going to happen and the twist near the end caught me by surprize.
Saying this was the best crime/thriller I’ve ever read
wouldn’t be true but I did really enjoy it. Maybe the plot is a little far
fetched but they so often are and this story has something different. If you’re
looking for a good, easy page turner I’d recommend The Woman in Cabin 10.
