Publisher Description
In this follow-up to #1 New York Times bestselling author Ruth Ware’s multi-million copy mega-hit The Woman in Cabin 10, 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 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. A great summer read, The Woman in Suite 11 is tight, transportive, and impossible to put down.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Journalist Lo Blacklock falls back under the sway of an old acquaintance in bestseller Ware's solid sequel to The Woman in Cabin 10. A decade after Lo nearly drowned on a Norwegian cruise, she's a happily married mother of two. Looking for a big story to jump-start her stagnant career, she eagerly accepts an invitation to the opening of reclusive billionaire Marcus Liedman's new luxury hotel on Switzerland's Lake Geneva. Once she arrives, however, she's startled to find several fellow passengers from her ill-fated Norwegian cruise, along with a smarmy food critic, a wolfish photographer, and an ex-boyfriend she can't stand. Most troublingly, she encounters Carrie, the untrustworthy woman who saved her life in Norway. Carrie entreats Lo to help her escape from Marcus, who she claims is holding her against her will. Torn between her emotional debt to Carrie and her longing to be free of it, Lo helps Carrie flee the hotel and accompanies her on a wild trip across Europe, the initially frivolous pleasures of which gradually take on a more sinister cast. Ware doesn't tie everything up perfectly, but she keeps the pace fast and the twists coming. This will satisfy the author's fans.

God I wanted it to be good but I guessed the entire ending about half way through the book. Overall great writing but you can tell this one was more rushed because of the anticipation behind it
