3.5 stars. This book could be titled “The Girl on the Train, on a Boat.” The stories aren't exactly the same, but you have a similar unreliable female protagonist who thinks that she sees a murder. Can she trust what she saw? Are people plotting against her? What really happened? The story is the unraveling of all these questions.

The plot was fast moving, which was a plus. I also thought the use of news reports and online chat forums was effective in heightening the suspense. Overall, however, I found the characters to be shallow and the mystery pretty straight forward.

Would recommend to someone who wants a quick mystery that is not overly complex and doesn't mind the lack of character development.

Thanks to Net Galley for a complimentary digital copy of The Woman in Cabin 10.
