The Woman in Cabin 10

In this gripping and atmospheric thriller reminiscent of Agatha Christie, a luxury cruise turns chillingly claustrophobic when one woman witnesses a crime no one else believes occurred.

Lo Blacklock, a travel journalist, has just landed the assignment of a lifetime: a week aboard the Aurora, a boutique cruise ship with only a handful of exclusive cabins, sailing through the serene waters of the North Sea. At first, everything is idyllic—lavish suites, glamorous guests, endless champagne. But beneath the polished surface, something feels off.

One night, Lo hears a scream—and sees a woman thrown overboard from the cabin next to hers. Panic sets in. Yet when she reports what she’s seen, she's told that no one is missing. All passengers are accounted for. The cruise continues, smooth and unbothered, as if nothing happened.

As Lo tries to uncover the truth, she finds herself trapped in a waking nightmare—where no one believes her, and danger may be closer than she thinks.

The Woman in Cabin 10 is a masterclass in suspense from Ruth Ware: twisty, tense, and impossible to put down. With its isolated setting and mounting paranoia, it’s a haunting tale of deception, gaslighting, and the terrifying feeling of being alone with the truth.
