THE WOMAN IN CABIN 10
INTERNATIONAL NUMBER ONE BESTSELLER
Named by the Washington Post as
‘One of the best mystery books and thrillers of 2016’
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…
“Agatha Christie meets The Girl on the Train in this stupendously good read…
Scary and unsettling, it’s edge-of-your-seat stuff ”

Why I Love Locked Room Mysteries
Of all the well-worn tropes of detective fiction, the one that I have the greatest weakness for, both as a reader and a writer, is the locked room mystery…
Extra Scene from The Woman in Cabin 10
I don’t typically have much material that ends up on the cutting room floor but ‘The Woman in Cabin 10’ is an exception…
Ships & the Sea
One of my earliest memories – I’m still not completely certain if it’s a real memory, or a sort of composite of truth and nightmare – is of ships and the sea…
REVIEWS
“Lots of twists and surprises in an old-fashioned mystery.”
R L STINE
“A rollicking page-turner that reads like Agatha Christie got together with Paula Hawkins to crowdsource a really fun thriller”
STYLIST
“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”
