La mujer del camarote 10 / The Woman in Cabin 10

Ruth Ware

Has sido testigo de un asesinato…y nadie te cree.

La invitacio n a un crucero de lujo, que zarpa de Londres rumbo a los fiordos noruegos, es como un suen o hecho realidad para Laura Blacklock, una joven periodista en horas bajas. La oportunidad es doble: no so lo podra contemplar la maravillosa aurora boreal, sino que se codeara con gente influyente que podri a ayudarla a reconducir su carrera profesional. Los primeros compases de la travesi a discurren conforme a lo previsto: el ambiente del barco es suntuoso, el servicio, de primera categori a, y el pasaje derrocha elegancia, simpati a y dinero. Sin embargo, todo cambia cuando, una noche, un grito aterrador despierta a Laura, quien, estupefacta, observa co mo el cuerpo de una mujer cae al mar desde el compartimento contiguo.

Al dar la voz de alarma, la tripulacio n le asegura que el camarote nu mero 10 siempre ha estado vaci o y que no falta ningu n pasajero a bordo. Asi , con creciente inquietud, Laura comprueba que… nadie le cree. Y lo peor no es que se sienta sola y aislada, sino que una serie de extran os acontecimientos la convencen de que ella puede ser la pro xima vi ctima.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER

FROM THE AUTHOR OF IN A DARK, DARK WOOD

An Entertainment Weekly Summer Must List Pick / A New York Post Summer Must-Read Pick / Included in Summer Book Guides from Bustle, Oprah.com, PureWow, and USA TODAY

From New York Times bestselling author of the twisty-mystery (Vulture) novel In a Dark, Dark Wood, comes The Woman in Cabin 10, an equally suspenseful and haunting novel from Ruth Ware-this time, set at sea.

In this tightly wound, enthralling story reminiscent of Agatha Christie’s works, Lo Blacklock, a journalist who writes for a travel magazine, has just been given the assignment of a lifetime: a week on a luxury cruise with only a handful of cabins. The sky is clear, the waters calm, and the veneered, select guests jovial as the exclusive cruise ship, the Aurora, begins her voyage in the picturesque North Sea. At first, Lo’s stay is nothing but pleasant: the cabins are plush, the dinner parties are sparkling, and the guests are elegant. But as the week wears on, frigid winds whip the deck, gray skies fall, and Lo witnesses what she can only describe as a dark and terrifying nightmare: a woman being thrown overboard. The problem? All passengers remain accounted for-and so, the ship sails on as if nothing has happened, despite Lo’s desperate attempts to convey that something (or someone) has gone terribly, terribly wrong…

With surprising twists, spine-tingling turns, and a setting that proves as uncomfortably claustrophobic as it is eerily beautiful, Ruth Ware offers up another taut and intense read in The Woman in Cabin 10-one that will leave even the most sure-footed reader restlessly uneasy long after the last page is turned.
