The Woman in Cabin 10

Like others have stated I enjoyed Ruth Ware's first book much better. This book just left me wanting more. Some of her descriptions of people were just off putting and some of the plot twists were just too predictable. I found it hard to like the main character Laura.

So, this is basically The Girl on the Train... on a boat.

There are too many throwaway red herrings that are not explained. Perhaps the most unbelievable part is that Lo and/or her colleague and ex-boyfriend, Ben, are aspiring “investigative journalists”. I don't think these two could find their way out of a paper bag (after Lo has imbibed whatever alcohol was in said bag).

Only one way to read this one: suspend your disbelief and don't think about the answers you're given.

This is my first book of 2017 I enjoyed it immensely. This wasn't what I expected but I have to say Ruth won me over. I had a hard time with the first couple of chapters but I knew I would a friend of mine read this and said it was slow. But man once it gets going you can't put it down. I finished it at 5:15 this morning.

Lo as a character is very well written, she has the typical personality of a writer who does not and will not give up on her story. I thought I had this story figured out but man was I wrong. A wonderful who done it that will keep you up all night.
