The Woman In Cabin 10-Ruth Ware
How wary it is to believe in a person, seen her, talked to her but the next day the person ceases to exist. No one has ever seen her or can remember her around you. It feels maddening to the extreme and then, you witness a murder. A murder no one believes in of a person who does not exist. Something similar happens to journalist Lo Blacklock on a business sea trip. This trip was meant to be the turning point of her career but accidentally she borrows mascara from the girl next door, which turned to be the biggest mistake she could ever make.
In the middle of the night, she wakes up to a noise of splashing water like a body has been thrown into the water. As she looks through her glass door, on the window on the other side she notices blood smeared all over the glass. Frightened out of her wits, she calls the security shouting ‘bloody murder’. But when the security personnel tells her that no one ever checked into the room adjacent to her, she is terrified and confused. She tells him that she talked to a living woman last night only residing in cabin 10. The personnel looks her as she has lost her mind and connects her hallucinations to her excessive drinking but Lo was in senses, she knows that and is in dismal to prove herself.
With a murderer in plain sight aboard a ship in the middle of the sea and a murder being executed, Lo frantically searches the ship to find the Woman in Cabin 10 but will she succeed in this endeavour of hers or are their more powerful and dark forces luring around to ground her story and make it look like a hoax. Lo is determined to find the woman and the person who has been murdered. She cannot believe and trust in anyone. Whatever evidence she had of the woman is being erased away stealthily and she is unable to do anything but just sit and stare into the oblivion.
Overall the book has a strong plot and will keep the reader hooked but in some parts, it is incomplete and not attractive. Like in the start, Lo is burgled which has a deep impact on her but it has no connection to anything throughout the story other than that her story about the woman can be a hoax and made up due to her being burgled which has left her traumatised. Also, the ending could be more elaborative but it was very abrupt and short which messed up the conclusion. All in all the book is a good read and will keep you hooked throughout. I will give it a 7/10.
