This past week I finished up The Woman In Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware. This was listed as a recommended read on Amazon after I finished Girl On the Train. I got my copy for free with Target RedPerks points (I love free stuff) and got to reading as soon as I had the time. This book is a mystery/thriller about a girl named Laura "Lo" Blacklock who gets the opportunity of a lifetime to take a free trip on a luxury cruise so that she can write an article on the boat and the boat's owner Richard Bullmer. One night while in her cabin, she hears a scream and a splash in the room next door to hers, cabin 10, and thinks that she sees blood on the next door balcony wall. She had met the woman staying there earlier in the night. But when she reports the story to the ship's workers, they state there is no one staying in that room. Lo is beside herself as she tries to figure out where the woman went, and why no one acts as if they knew her.The Woman In Cabin 10 kept me interested. However, the middle of the book did drag a little as Lo spent a lot of time trying to figure out who had seen or not seen the woman from cabin 10. The ending was interesting, but I still don't understand some of the plot. I feel like some questions went unanswered and were not super well thought out. Over all I did enjoy the book, I would give it a 7/10, It did give me eerie feelings, as I read most of it when Madi was out of town coaching basketball. I didn't enjoy it as much as The Girl On the Train, of which it has been compared to. But if you have free time this summer and like mystery/thrilling books, borrow it from your local library. I'm not sure it's quite worth buying.
My list continues to grow, check out the My List of Books section to see more reads I would recommend as we head into summer time, and to see what I want to read in the coming months! Can't wait to keep crossing things off of my list!
Thanks for reading with me,
