*THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER, NOW A NETFLIX FILM STARRING KEIRA KNIGHTLEY*

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...

Critics Review

  • 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

    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.

    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
