'A rollicking page-turner that reads like Agatha Christie got together with Paula Hawkins to crowdsource a really fun thriller' - Stylist
This was meant to be the perfect trip.

Review quote
"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 "The Woman in Cabin 10 is an edge-of-your-seat thriller full of great characters and twists" -- Reese Witherspoon "[It] channels Agatha Christie's murders at sea in a satisfying contemporary direction." -- Mark Lawson * Guardian, Book of the Year * "Taut and provocative " * Independent * "This atmospheric thriller will have you gripped " * Closer * "Ware's virtues are gloriously old-fashioned: an ability to combine a sense of menace with the lightness of touch...and sharp prose." * Sunday Express * "I absolutely swallowed it whole; she takes that classic golden-age premise of a locked room and turns it into something completely right for the twenty-first century" -- Erin Kelly "A deeply intriguing slow-burn mystery that has you wondering if anyone can be trusted. Ware draws you in deep and holds you tight until the very end. Fantastic" -- S.J.I. Holliday "A claustrophobic page-turner that'll have you suspecting everyone. Agatha Christie for the Whatsapp generation" -- Tammy Cohen, author of When She Was Bad "The Woman in Cabin 10 is a deliciously compulsive read. At once up-to-the-minute and timeless, it blends classic suspense writing with twenty-first-century twists and turns. A book to keep you reading late into the night and leave your mind and pulse racing long after the final page" -- Ann Morgan, author of Beside Myself "A compelling thriller... It gave me nightmares - but only in the way a juicy thriller ought to do." * Running in Heels * "All the glamour of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express with a titanic dose of intrigue and mystery... fast and addictive and will keep you guessing until the very end" -- T.R. Richmond, author of What She Left "A dark and gripping thriller that will enchant readers" -- Sarah Ward, author of In Bitter Chill "A tense, twisty delight that powers along at a heart rattling pace" -- Angela Clarke, author of Follow Me
