#34: Your next weekend binge: Murder, mystery, and luxury at sea
You know those locked-room thrillers that feel like they’re happening right next to you? That’s The Woman in Cabin 10. A claustrophobic, high-gloss mystery set aboard a luxury cruise ship, where every reflection might be a secret and every wave could hide a body.
When Ruth Ware’s book first came out, it was everywhere… book clubs, airport bookstores, your friend who never reads thrillers was suddenly obsessed. And honestly, for good reason. It’s eerie, glamorous, and deeply satisfying in that “I can’t trust anyone, not even the mirror” kind of way.
If you haven’t read it yet, now’s your moment to read and watch before the Netflix adaptation hits on October 10.
