Thank you NetGalley and publisher for allowing me to read and review this book.

I love Ruth Ware, and like most of her other books, this was an engaging thriller I couldn't put down.

Thank you NetGalley and Gallery Books for allowing me to read this book! I'm definitely a Ruth Ware fan, I've read all her books (disclaimer).
Journalist Lo Blacklock jumps at the chance to attend the press opening of a luxurious Swiss hotel, hoping to revive her career and land an interview with its elusive billionaire owner, Marcus Leidmann. But when a late-night summons to Marcus’s room leads her to a terrified woman claiming to be his mistress, Lo is thrust into a dangerous game of deception and survival. As a high-stakes chase unfolds across Europe, she must decide how far she’s willing to go to save a stranger—and whether she can even trust her.
Unfortunately, this one didn’t work for me. It was really slow, and if you haven’t read the first book, you’ll probably feel lost—every character from the series gets referenced, and I struggled to keep up.

That's a good cover! As in, reflective of the plot without being distracting. When I saw the announcement for this sequel I was surprised--it's been nearly 10 years since the publication of The Woman in Cabin 10. Yet I also jumped at the opportunity to revisit Lo Blacklock's story. This sequel was well-paced and had enough reminders of the events in the first book that you do not need to re-read it. Enough years have passed that characters in the story have much different lives and are seeking fresh starts, but some characters did not have the opportunity, and are willing to do whatever it takes to make it happen. A wonderful novel, but I do not foresee a third book or ongoing series coming out of this.

She’s done it again. This book is a page turner. Engaging and a must read if you like this author writing style. I enjoyed the pace and the relationship between the fmc and Carrie. It was hard for me to remember exactly the first book since it’s been forever since I read it but with the retelling and this book being so good it’s not a big deal. This is def going to be a best seller list asap.

One little thing I wish a pov from Carrie would be added
