The Woman in Cabin 10 follows Lo Blacklock, a travel journalist assigned to cover the maiden voyage of an exclusive boutique cruise ship. One night, she’s certain she sees a body go over the railing from the cabin next to hers – but the ship’s records show that cabin was empty, and all passengers are present and accounted for.
As Lo struggles to convince anyone that a crime occurred, she’s drawn into a claustrophobic web of secrets aboard the isolated ship. Tense and twisty, it’s a locked-room-style thriller with an unreliable, sleep-deprived heroine and a steadily mounting sense of dread.
