Publisher Description
In this follow-up to the multi-million copy mega-hit The Woman in Cabin 10 from #1 New York Times bestselling author Ruth Ware, Lo Blacklock returns to attend the opening of a luxury hotel, only to find herself in a white-knuckled race across Europe.
When the invitation to attend the press opening of a luxury Swiss hotel—owned by reclusive billionaire Marcus Leidmann—arrives, it’s like the answer to a prayer. Three years after the birth of her youngest child, Lo Blacklock is ready to reestablish her journalism career, but post-pandemic travel journalism is a very different landscape from the one she left ten years ago.
The chateau on the shores of Lake Geneva is everything Lo’s ever dreamed of, and she hopes she can snag an interview with Marcus. Unfortunately, he proves to be even more difficult to pin down than his reputation suggests. When Lo gets a late-night call asking her to come to Marcus’s hotel room, she agrees despite her own misgivings. She’s greeted, however, by a woman claiming to be Marcus’s mistress—and in life-or-death jeopardy.
What follows is a thrilling cat-and-mouse pursuit across Europe, forcing Lo to ask herself just how much she’s willing to sacrifice to save this woman…and if she can even trust her?
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Lo Blacklock, the travel reporter heroine of Ruth Ware’s breakthrough mystery, The Woman in Cabin 10, is back in this twisty cat-and-mouse thriller. Between a post-pandemic job slump and adjusting to marriage and motherhood in New York, Lo’s been dying for a juicy story. So when a posh hotel opens up on Lake Geneva, an exclusive interview with its reclusive billionaire owner sounds like just the thing. But what Lo finds instead is a woman from her own past whose story doesn’t quite add up. Ware blends her trademark atmospheric tension with international suspense in a pulse-pounding race across Europe. And narrator Imogen Church delivers a superb performance. Her seamless accents and expert timing keep things moving, but she also makes Lo’s exhaustion, curiosity, and mounting dread feel deeply real. A great summer listen, The Woman in Suite 11 is tight, transportive, and impossible to pause.
Customer Reviews
Middling
Too many plot holes for me.
Repetitive and predictable
Wouldn’t bother- could barely be bothered to finish it after the first chapter. Persevered but wasn’t worth it
Had to stop listening
I usually love this narrator, but the way she narrated the kids’ voices hurt my ears and I could not continue to listen. Waste of a purchase.
