Ruth Ware's Suite 11 alpine sequel to cruise-ship thriller The Woman in Cabin 10 stretches credulity
Fiction The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware was a global bestseller. Ten years on, with The Woman in Suite 11, Ware has brought back heroine Lo Blacklock, and some of the other characters from the original story. While it's a sequel, Suite 11 also works as a standalone novel as the events that occurred on the cruise ship Aurora, are explained. Lo is now living in New York with her American husband Judah and two small sons, and is attempting to relaunch her freelance writing career. An unexpected invite to the launch of an uber-swish hotel in Switzerland, owned by reclusive billionaire Marcus Leidmann, looks like it might be the break she needs.

Book review: Twisty thriller keeps us guessing
The Woman in Suite 11 is Ruth Ware's tenth novel. With books such as One Perfect Couple, Zero Days, and The Turn of the Key, she is now firmly entrenched as a force in the psychological thriller genre. This latest offering is a follow-on to the hit The Girl in Cabin 10, which is set to be a Netflix movie starring Keira Knightley this autumn. In The Woman in Suite 11, Laura 'Lo' Blacklock is back and it's 10 years after the traumatic events she experienced on board the luxury cruise ship Aurora. We reunite with Lo in New York where she now lives with her husband Judah and their two young boys Eli and Teddy. A travel journalist, Lo has been busy raising her boys for the past three years and is on the cusp of returning to work when she receives an invitation to the opening of a luxury hotel in Switzerland owned by the reclusive billionaire Marcus Leidmann. With Lo trying to re-establish herself in the world of travel journalism, it's an invite too appealing to pass up. In the Grand Hotel du Lac on the banks of Lake Geneva Lo encounters some familiar faces from Cabin 10 — a trio of travel journalists with whom she has somewhat strained relationships. There's also the matter of the book Lo wrote about her experience on the Aurora, with some of these fellow journos coming in for criticism in the book. It's a fraught, and somewhat unsettling start to the press trip for Lo, and memories of her time on the Aurora are thrust to the fore. We're reminded throughout the novel of the events of Lo's time on the luxury cruise ship where she was gaslit, trapped, and in imminent danger — and this old trauma resurfaces when another, more shocking, familiar face reaches out to Lo for help escaping an abusive relationship with the billionaire Leidmann. And so Lo and her old frenemy take off on a chase through Europe, as they try to out-run Leidmann and his influence. While it's not completely necessary that readers have read Cabin 10, it would help to understand some of the choices Lo makes. On the face of it, some of these, frankly unwise, decisions reveal a gullibility in Lo, or perhaps she just feels she owes this person something. There is twist upon twist in this pacy thriller (arguably a couple of twists too many?). One twist setup peters out entirely and rather unsatisfactorily doesn't lead us anywhere. But where Ware shines is building that psychologically-edgy environment where Lo doesn't know who to trust. A shocking murder in the very hotel Lo and her companion are staying further ramps up the jeopardy and Lo finds herself at the centre of police attention. Away from the calming security of her husband and family, Lo is alone and faced with increasingly stressful situations. Her old trauma haunts her and panic attacks threaten as she spirals from one crisis to another. Can she figure out who to trust or see who's playing her for a fool? This is the ideal holiday read for those who enjoy tense, psychological thrillers. Ware has created a realistic protagonist in Lo Blacklock. Sure, she's flawed and makes some questionable decisions, but you're still rooting her — there's a humanity to her and a willingness to believe in people that overrides the slight annoyance readers may feel with her naivete. It's the definition of a page-turner — as the plot hurtles towards the end, readers will find themselves unable to put the book down. Read More Book review: Gripping tale of right v wrong

Book Review: Ruth Ware revisits old characters in new thriller, ‘The Woman in Suite 11'
Ruth Ware's new thriller 'The Woman in Suite 11' is a sequel of sorts to her breakout hit of 2016, 'The Woman in Cabin 10.' Will you enjoy it more if you read the first book? Yes. Or you can wait until the Netflix version of 'The Woman in Cabin 10' starring Keira Knightley comes out this fall, and then read 'The Woman in Suite 11.' Most of the main characters who survived the first book return, led by Lo Blacklock, a decade older and raising a pair of sons in Brooklyn. She's now happily married to Judah and she wrote a book called 'Dark Waters' about her ordeal aboard the cruise ship Aurora (the plot of 'Cabin 10'). She knows motherhood won't last forever, and so when she's presented with the opportunity to rekindle her travel writing career by visiting a luxury hotel in Geneva, she jumps at the chance. The hotel is owned by a reclusive European billionaire named Marcus Leidmann, and once Lo convinces the Financial Times she can deliver a profile, it's off to Switzerland, where Ware throws the thriller switch and readers are taken on a ride across the European continent, eventually ending up in England for the story's climax. Lo's voice is the best part of the book. She's a mom now, so her sarcasm is tempered a little by maternal compassion, but she still reads like she'd be a great hang. Here she is looking out the window of a car as it drives through the countryside: 'The villages were almost absurdly cute, in that Swiss cuckoo-clock style of ornate wooden fretwork and sparkling paint… I half expected a nun to come running out from the trees and break into song.' It's difficult to write much more about the plot without spoiling it, but Ware stays inside Lo's head throughout, as she analyzes the intent of everyone's actions and weighs her options. The tension builds steadily as she encounters various characters from the first book and begins to piece together what is happening. The story is peppered with multiple references and echoes back to 'The Woman in Cabin 10,' another reason to read or watch it first before cracking open this new novel. Once you do, you'll settle into the rhythm of a Ware thriller. Many chapters end with snippets from websites or other sources that tease forward the plot, practically forcing you to turn the page and learn how it all happened. ___ AP book reviews:
