With that said, I love all the characters we meet. It also probably annoyed me a little because I did not know much about her personality right off. As such a smart and educated individual, I would have thought she would have been able to break down a difficult situation more. huge fan of Lo from the start because she seemed to illogical in her choices of how to handle her incredibly stressful situations, which frustrated me. Right from the start she’s having issues because of home life problems and sea sickness… and the sound of a woman being thrown overboard. The Woman in Cabin 10 follows Lo Blacklock, a journalist, as she takes a job on for her boss to report on a new luxury yacht cruise. Ruth Ware is probably one of my new top five favorite mystery writers. I instantly dove in and I will start with this. When my book club selected this novel for our August book, I was so excited. I have always heard great things about Ruth Ware, but it always seemed my book reading schedule was so packed I never had time to grab one of her books. 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. 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. At first, Lo’s stay is nothing but pleasant: the cabins are plush, the dinner parties are sparkling, and the guests are elegant.

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.

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.
