For some reason, I'm not entirely fond of novels set in England. Not sure why. Luckily most of this novel happened on a yacht in the North Sea. "The Woman in Cabin 10" was spellbinding. Ruth Ware sucked me in the minute Lo (the main character) hit the gangway leading to the Aurora. I was thrown off a bit by Lo's drinking in the beginning, bur soon came to realize that the blurred line between reality and drunkenness was important to the storyline. I especially enjoyed the "side-bar" pieces of emails, texts, and news reports...all those red herrings that kept me guessing. You know you're caught up in a good novel when you catch yourself either trying to read faster, or skipping over words to get to the next juicy detail. The twist in the plot at the end was worth every skipped word.
