THE SUNDAY TIMES & NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER 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 'Reads like Agatha Christie got together with Paula Hawkins to crowdsource a really fun thriller' Stylist A PASSENGER IS MISSING...BUT WAS SHE EVER ON BOARD AT ALL 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... _________________ Praise for THE WOMAN IN CABIN 10- ' Scary and unsettling, it's' edge-of-your-seat stuff' The Sun 'A tense, moody drama set on a press trip that goes horribly wrong... a brilliantly claustrophobic setting' Sunday Times 'A twisty puzzle' Shari Lapena 'Terrifically tense' Good Housekeeping
"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 "[It] channels Agatha Christie's murders at sea in a satisfying contemporary direction." -- Mark Lawson Guardian, Book of the Year
