She immediately reports the sighting to the ship’s head of security. Her uneasiness peaks later that evening, as she steps out onto her cabin’s balcony and sees someone pushing a body overboard from the balcony of cabin 10. The woman is abrupt and borders on being rude as she shoves the mascara in Lo’s direction and snaps for her to, “Just keep it,” as she shuts the door in her face. As the door opens, Lo finds herself face to face with a beautiful, dark-haired, young woman in a band tee who also appears to be getting ready for the evening.
She feels strikingly out of place amongst those she has glimpsed so far, and These feelings only grow when happens to knock on the door of cabin 10 hoping there might be someone to lend her some mascara. On the first night of this weeklong dream assignment, Lo is hurrying to dinner with the other select, esteemed guests. There are only 10 cabins aboard the Aurora and decks below containing the ship’s staff, the kitchens and the spa.
We begin this novel meeting Lo Blacklock, a young up-and-coming travel journalist who sees an opportunity to take on more responsibility when her boss gives her an assignment on a small luxury cruise ship called the “Aurora,” whose maiden voyage is planned in the North Sea, in hopes to catch glimpses of its namesake. There is something comforting in knowing that although there might be chaos, it will come to an end as the book does. The way these books are written can provide release to these feelings, as yours build with the characters as you move through the story. It is normal, natural and purely human to feel these things. We experience uncertainty, indecisiveness, anxiety and sometimes, even panic. In these stories, there are more commonly experienced emotions. I think that often times, reading a thriller or a book that is somewhat of a brainteaser reflects the way we might deal with things in day-to-day life. I often stray away from storylines that I can guess too quickly, or to be entirely honest, most romance novels. Last week, I wrote about how I had greatly enjoyed Ruth Ware’s work on, “Into A Dark, Dark Wood” and this week, I have decided to bring you another story of hers called, “The Woman in Cabin 10.” I have said it before and I will say it again, I absolutely love thrillers and books that make me think.
