Review: The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware

4.5 stars for The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware.

The Woman in Cabin 10. The book title by itself is creepy enough to reel me in, and since I have such an enjoyable time scaring myself reading the author's debut novel, In A Dark, Dark Wood, I decide to wait no longer and plunge headlong into the story.

True to its title, I am creeped out. And because this novel is brilliantly written with effective use of imagery, the flow of pictures in my mind's eye is so vividly created that I feel as if I am Laura Blacklock, the British travel journalist who is invited - to the wrong place at the wrong time - to the maiden voyage of the Aurora Borealis, a boutique super-luxury cruise liner bound to travel around the Norwegian fjords to catch the spectacular majesty of the northern lights.

Reading the book feels exactly like watching a suspenseful psychological thriller film, a jigsaw with too many pieces to fit the frame, only that it is right there in my head, one exclusively aired for my viewing pleasure.

When travel journalist Lo Blacklock is invited on a boutique luxury cruise around the Norwegian fjords, it seems like a dream career opportunity.

But the trip takes a nightmarish turn when she wakes in the middle of the night to hear a body being thrown overboard – only to discover that no-one has been reported missing from the boat.

How do you stop a killer, when no-one believes they exist?
