mystery
Lo Blacklock is a passenger aboard a luxury yacht intending to write about the travel experience for her magazine. One night, she believes that she hears someone being dumped overboard and is determined to find out what happened. However, no one appears to be missing from the boat.
A friend had told me that the story of The Woman in Cabin 10 didn't really get interesting until the last half. This was very true. It helped that Ruth Ware added little flash forward blurbs at some parts because the information provided in those blurbs made me want to keep reading to find out how those future situations came to be. It was a good story but lacked forward momentum for most of the book. Therefore, I'm giving this 3-1/2 stars. Coming from me, who has read a lot of mysteries lately despite the fact that I don't really like mysteries, this is high praise. I did not solve the mystery until the point that the protagonist herself figured it out and was happy about that. And, while the ending dragged on a little bit, I do love a nice closure so I'll forgive the author for too much detail in Lo's adventure at the end.
The audio book narrator, Imogen Church, was wonderful! She had the whole package--clear voice, great voice acting, wonderful accents, and great character voices--even the males. A+ for her!
