*THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, NOW A NETFLIX FILM STARRING KEIRA KNIGHTLEY*


A PASSENGER IS MISSING...BUT WAS SHE EVER ON BOARD AT ALL?

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...

Reviews

Agatha Christie meets The Girl on the Train in this stupendously good read… Scary and unsettling, it’s edge-of-your-seat stuff
A tense, moody drama set on a press trip that goes horribly wrong… Ware has produced a fantastic variation on the woman-in-peril theme, with a plucky protagonist and a brilliantly claustrophobic setting (Joan Smith)
A rollicking page-turner that reads like Agatha Christie got together with Paula Hawkins to crowdsource a really fun thriller
A fantastic read. A fog-enshrouded cruise ship, a twisty puzzle of a murder mystery reminiscent of Agatha Christie, and unrelenting suspense. Batten down the hatches and prepare to read it in one sitting! (Shari Lapena, author of The Couple Next Door)
The Woman in Cabin 10 is an edge-of-your-seat thriller full of great characters and twists (Reese Witherspoon)
[It] channels Agatha Christie’s murders at sea in a satisfying contemporary direction. (Mark Lawson)
Taut and provocative
This atmospheric thriller will have you gripped
Ware's virtues are gloriously old-fashioned: an ability to combine a sense of menace with the lightness of touch...and sharp prose.
I absolutely swallowed it whole; she takes that classic golden-age premise of a locked room and turns it into something completely right for the twenty-first century (Erin Kelly)

A bit of a slow start but then one you cannot turn off until you get to the end. Great performance and well written. The main character is like a real Agatha Christie who ends up working it out by herself... you suspect everyone and no one. I highly recommend it.

well worth the read

I am French and listened to this book in English, read by Imogen Church. I enjoyed the clarity and pace of the diction which allowed me to follow the story perfectly. I didn't get bored, action and suspense in every chapter, although the script gave me a form of "déjà vu", may be in another book or another movie, whose title I don't remember. I regret that the author produces so much "length" in the dialogues: the characters are repeating themselves endless and it seems sometimes we would never get out of the repetitive meaning, over and over again the same in some chapters ... phew. In my opinion, not any of the characters, even the heroine, is enough psychologically developed, the lengths do not help giving more vivid portraits. However, the hermetic effects into the ship are well rendered and really, almost bodily oppressive. I count this book among those who win the first prize at using the words "shit" and "fuck" the most frequently. Is all that necessary? What about all that alcohol as well? Disgusting. But at least, I still recommend this audio book, especially if English is your second language (and if your are not addicted to alcohol), because it is engaging and easy to follow, so best for improving your skills. Anyway it is quite a great writing and a very good reading performance.

Addicting, nice reading interpretation.

L'histoire est prenante. Pas de véritable conclusion, la dernière péripétie invitant à se poser des questions sur tout ce qui a précédé.
La narration est excellente. Imogen Church est une narratrice dont je chercherai d'autres enregistrements.

Bon roman, très bonne narration
