A passenger is missing. But was she ever on board at all?
From the bestselling author of Richard and Judy pick In A Dark, Dark Wood comes Ruth Ware's next compulsive page-turner
THE SUNDAY TIMES & NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
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...

Industry Reviews
Agatha Christie meets The Girl on the Train in this stupendously good read... Scary and unsettling, it's edge-of-your-seat stuff * Sun on Sunday *
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 * Sunday Times *
A rollicking page-turner that reads like Agatha Christie got together with Paula Hawkins to crowdsource a really fun thriller * Stylist *
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
