Finished We 11/12/25
This is a trade paperback that Janny loaned me. I was partway through the novel when I realized that I had just seen the movie. It starred Kiera Knightley and I wasn't that impressed with the film or the novel.
A young travel reporter is asked to cover the virgin cruise of a lavish passenger boat off the coast of Norway. The premise is that the billionaire owner of the ship is trying to use the cruise to cover the murder his wife and then claim that she left the cruise and disappeared. What happened is that he brought his lover on board to pose as his wife. That's where I thought it was a bit hard to believe, but I guess it was slightly possible. The young female travel reporter heard someone going overboard, but nobody on the ship believes her.
The level of writing was about what you would expect- James Patterson, Agatha Christie or Jonathan Keller. It's not bad, and very readable, just not very memorable.
From 'AI Overview':
"In The Woman in Cabin 10, travel journalist Lo Blacklock sees a woman thrown from the luxury cruise ship's cabin 10, but all passengers are accounted for. She becomes obsessed with proving a murder occurred, while facing skepticism and being targeted by those who want her to drop the investigation. The plot follows her attempts to uncover the truth behind the disappearance, revealing a complex conspiracy involving the ship's owner and a look-alike meant to impersonate the heiress."
