3.5 stars
This is my first book by Ruth Ware. I have always wanted to take a luxury cruise and so the plot of this book intrigued me.
I was actually going to read Dark Dark Wood prior to reading this novel. However, since I won a copy of this book from a Goodreads Giveaway, so I figured I could always go back and read Dark Dark Wood some other time.
Journalist, Laura (Lo) Blacklock is a writer for a travel magazine. Lo suffers from anxiety and after a terrifying home invasion she doesn't feel safe anywhere anymore. Maybe her new work assignment will help. It is a free week-long trip on a luxury cruise. This assignment could also help with the promotion she's been wanting.
The Aurora is a beautiful brand new boat. Luxurious but small and intimate with only ten cabins.
But the assignment of a lifetime soon turns into a nightmare when Lo is positive she sees a woman from the cabin next door thrown off the boat. But that can't have happened as all passengers on the boat are accounted for....
Lo is insistent and knows that she didn't imagine the woman she spoke to, the woman even gave her a tube of mascara. So where is she now? Where is the woman from cabin 10?
No one seems to take her concerns seriously.
Did she have too much to drink? Is she losing her mind?
I did have a bit of trouble getting into the book at first. I'm not entirely sure why but I found my mind wandering. However, once I got into it, I had a hard time putting it down. I had a few minor issues with the plot and a hard time with Lo's character at first ....but she grew on me.
Honestly, the suspense was good and I had no idea what was going to happen next but I definitely wanted to find out.
All in all this was a creepy (in a good way) and entertaining read, and I look forward to reading more from this author.
I would like to thank Goodreads Giveaways for my copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

So good to win one, Deanna. Lo had a bit of an off-putting personality at first. Then it gets good!
Great review, Deanna! I'm glad you enjoyed this book for the most part. :)
I'm glad you won this book and that you liked it. As you know, I adored this book.

In a Dark, Dark Wood is really good too.
Great review, Deanna! I have a copy of this book to read and I also was intrigued with the plot and that it takes place on a cruise ship. I am actually really looking forward to reading it sometime soon. Lol

Excellent review Deanna! I have the first book. These two books have been on tbr mountain forever. I need to read them.
I enjoyed your review. I liked this novel also. I listened to the audio version and I have to say the narration was excellent. Like you I had trouble with it holding my attention at the start but later it grabbed me and I carried my iPhone around the house listening to it every chance I got.
Great review, Deanna! :)
I'm glad you liked the book Deanna! I had a hard time with this one. I really enjoyed in a Dark, Dark Wood though. :)
Very nice review Deanna.
Great review, Deanna! Hope your next read is a 5 star! :)
Fantastic review Deanna, glad you enjoyed it!My first experience with this author (Dark Wood) was not a good one, but who knows perhaps this setting and backstory are more interesting.

I've never taken a luxury cruise, but much as I love ocean journeys, I'd dread seeing the same group of people all the time. Nice review!

lol...I understand. Also this was a very small group of people so you would definitely be seeing them all the time. At least with a big cruise you could try to move around :)
Nice review! This is on my TBR list - everyone makes it sound pretty great. I read In a Dark Dark Wood and thought it was just ok. Hoping this is better! :)
Reading this now glad you liked it!
I'm reading this one now and I'm loving it!! Going to read Dark Dark Wood next!!!!
