I was thrilled to receive this ARC as I’m a Ruth Ware fan, but surprised that of all of them this was the one to get a sequel. Lo is a character for me that is hard to root for, I find her very unlikable due to how naive she is. Like we’ve been through this! The pacing was great though and I did enjoy reading! Dans of mystery will enjoy! Thanks to Gallery Books, Net Galley, and the author for the ARC!

I ended up putting this one down about 40% through because I just.... didn't care. I think the gap in pub date from Cabin 10 to Suite 11 was beyond my memory capacity for remembering enough details to just dive right in to Suite 11 and remember what's up, but I wasn't motivated to re-read Cabin 10. This is also just so far fetched that it wasn't working in general. I am sure that Ware fans will largely enjoy this, but it didn't work for me.

It took me a little bit to connect Lo Blacklock with the Woman in Cabin 10 and then it took me awhile to remember what happened in the previous book. But once I did, I started to connect dots. Lo has once again landed up in a mess involving secrets, murder and Carrie. Lo is invited to a press event at an extremely exclusive resort/hotel in Switzerland, owned by the Leidmann Group. While there she is reconnected with Carrie, her ex-boyfriend Ben and Cole, who were all aboard the Aurora ten years ago. Death, escape and a lot of action ensue and are quite neatly wrapped up by the end.

I did not enjoy this Ruth Ware novel as much as I have others. I felt like there were some gaps (why include Ben and Cole when they really didn't do much for the story), how could Lo trust Carrie again, why did Pieter Leidmann take the actions he did? I finished it and it was good but it just is not my favorite.

Ruth Ware is one of my favorite thriller/mystery writers for a reason, and I absolutely devoured this second story about Lo. I loved the setting, the ever changing landscape between Switzerland and the UK. The rather small list of suspects, the whodunit. Most of all, though, I loved getting to see Lo live her life and be a parent and wife. She’s gone through so damn much in these two books, it was refreshing and heartwarming for her to just simply be living her life. I loved attempting to unravel the mystery, and loved how everything wrapped up.

At long last, the sequel to The Woman in Cabin 10! Fans have been waiting for this day for almost a decade, and I definitely think Ruth Ware delivered. While this isn't my favorite book of hers, it gives fans another epic trek from Lo with more deception and chaos caused by Carrie.

You definitely have to have read THE WOMAN IN CABIN 10 to be able to connect with this sequel (don't worry, I wrote a refresher post if you need it). Lo and Carrie's relationship makes absolutely no sense without the backstory (and even is a bit far-fetched when you know it!). The first book is immediately spoiled by this one, and I think the first book is the better read.

I loved the fast-paced nature of this follow-up, and was eager to see where the story would take Lo this time. I was expecting a more mature, worldly, and level-headed Lo, but she was just as naive as in Book 1. Regardless, I enjoyed the tale and continue to adore Ruth Ware. I wouldn't have asked for this sequel, but I'm glad I read it.

"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 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?"

I mean, Ruth Ware has become a household name since The Woman in Cabin 10 but until now she's never revisited those characters... Until now!

A gripping follow-up to Ware's previous thrillers, offering complex characters and vivid settings. The story takes readers on a virtual visit to Switzerland, filled with suspense. Ware continues to deliver compelling narratives.

Lo Blacklock has lived a safe and satisfying life since the terrifying events of The Woman in Cabin 10, but all that is about to change, as she is invited to cover the press opening of a luxury Swiss hotel. Mysterious events begin as she is upgraded to first class on her flight from New York, and continue as she begins to recognize faces from the past also in attendance. Some of the twists and turns are a little gratuitous, but the suspense ratchets up in a satisfying way. This can work as a standalone, but fans of The. Woman in Cabin 10 should be delighted by the chance to check back in.

I was surprised to see a follow-up to the blockbuster Woman in Cabin 10 after all these years but very glad the author decided to do it. It took me a minute to remember the ins and outs of the first book but you quickly catch on. I liked that Lo Blackstock now appears to be a perfectly content mother and wife not looking for any additional drama. The glimpses into her domestic life made her seem more real and there for you felt more terror for her. Lo goes to the luxury retreat hoping to jumpstart her waning career after having children but instead gets entangled into a cat and mouse game with many players from the original book. I recommend it !

This was good although I liked the first book better. It was great that so many if the characters from the first book were back for this and loved seeing Lo's life years after the first book.

She thought she had started over, but the past came back to haunt her.
Ten years ago Lo Blacklock barely survived her encounter on the ship Aurora. Now as she returns to her life as a journalist she soon comes to realize that the past has merely been waiting for her.
At a gorgeous resort in Switzerland, Lo encounters several people who were also aboard that ship all those years ago. Is it merely just a coincidence that all of them are here, or is there a more calculated reason?
When the owner of the hotel and one of the richest men in the world is murdered, it’s Lo that finds herself in the middle of the mess, fighting to prove her innocence. This edge of your seat thriller will keep you guessing right until the very last page.

My one question after reading this: why? I’ll admit I don’t remember much of the original novel, but I do remember it wasn’t my favorite of Ware’s. I find it rare that a thriller needs a sequel and that holds true here. It’s a decade later, allegedly, but Lo is acting like a naive 20 year old through the entirety of this book. From not being prepared for an interview to committing legitimate crimes, I was aghast at the hole she dug for herself. This moved quickly but it also felt like a sequel that never needed to exist.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Lo and Carrie are back at it!!! Adventure and thrills abound across Europe. After 10 years apart the dynamic duo are reunited and their friendship deepens... or so it seems until the dead bodies start to turn up. I enjoyed the theme of sisterhood was showcased in their friendship. I enjoyed the fast paced excitement. Definitely a great follow up to The Woman in Cabin 10!

Thank you so much to Net Galley and Ruth Ware for the ARC of The Woman in Suite 11.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing an ARC for review.

While it appears that I liked the first book in this couplet -- The Woman in Cabin 10 -- back when I read it in 2017, I had to pull up a synopsis to remember what happened and it was a BONKERS plot. I wish I could say the same for this sequel. I found myself alternating between bored and annoyed throughout the entirety of my read. The last 10% of this book was better, with some action and some twists. But for most of the story, I felt aggravated with the main character and her naivete and poor decisions. I wanted to like this more because I do enjoy this author, but it just didn't resonate with me.

Okay if you ignore how much of an idiot the main character (Lo) is this thriller is actually really well done. I found myself unable to put down the novel during the last 40% of the story as I tried to unravel the truth. I found the twists and turns that Ruth Ware incorporated caught me off guard during this novel which is what I love about a good thriller.

The reason this is 4 ⭐️ and not 5 ⭐️ is due to the main character. I just found her character to be weak, oblivious and very stupid. I questioned her rationale often during the novel about the believability of her actions based on the situation. It felt like I was watching a horror movie and shouting at the characters to look behind them as the killer stood there with a knife 🤦‍♀️ However this isn't new, the first novel (The Woman in Cabin 10) had the same main character so just know that doesn't improve.

This novel is set in a remote chateau on a Lake Geneva & it is a travel writers dream to visit. I felt transported there by Ruth Ware which made this novel even more enjoyable to read.

The pace of this novel is quick but well organized. I found myself racing to the finish to uncover the truth.

Thank you Gallery Books for the ARC

this was a big let down and the female lead was so dumb it was infuriating. I liked the little twist at the end, but this was so unbelievable and unnecessary to have a sequel.

I loved this — when I thought I knew where it was going, it took an unexpected turn and kept me guessing. Wish I had reread Woman in Cabin 10 there are a lot of references might have made it flow easier. It was creepy but not too creepy. And I just love the writing style!

When Lo Blackstock receives a mysterious invite to a luxurious hotel, it is the perfect opportunity to jumpstart her stalled career as a journalist and one time best selling author. The Woman in Suite 11 is the perfect summer read! Both new readers and longtime fans of Ruth Ware will fly through the pages of Ware's sequel to The Woman in Cabin 10. While being familiar with the backstory definitely adds some layers to the story, this can still be enjoyed as a standalone novel. Cabin 10 fans will devour the details on Lo Blackwood's new life, while first time readers will rush out to get to get copy of the first book to get to know the old Lo.

Thanks to NetGalley and Gallery Books | Gallery/Scout Press for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for my honest opinion.

As always I have enjoyed Ruth ware’s books. It was nice to see a sequel to the original book! I felt like it was a strong mystery!

It’s been 10 years since Lo meet the mysterious woman in Cabin 10 on a luxury cruise when she is invited to the press opening of a boutique Swiss hotel. When she arrives at the hotel, Lo sees others who were also on that cruise. Coincidence, or is something else

Another entertaining, suspenseful story by Ruth Ware.
