I was skeptical of a sequel to a thriller, but this worked! It was gripping and kept me on the edge of my seat. Well written and ended in a well thought out way. I just love Ruth Ware!

I love Ruth Ware so I was very excited to receive a copy of this book in advance of it coming out! The one thing I will warn everyone about is that it is necessary to have read The Woman in Cabin 10 prior to reading this book. It's been many years since I read it so I was a little lost for the first half of the book. The second half of the book really took off and I enjoyed it! I would recommend the read to a friend.

A fantastic stand alone/follow up novel to The Women in Cabin 10. Lo is a strong character, a little delusional but delightful. Writing is amazing and keeps you enthralled the whole way.

It had been a long time since I read the Woman in Cabin 10, so I had to go read the synopsis for that book as I started this book. All I could remember is that I loved the first book and could not wait to read this one. And once the first book came back to me, I was able to jump in to this one.

This book was as good as, if not better than, the first one. It was suspenseful and also provided lots of surprises that I did not foresaee. I highly recommend this book, even if a reader did not read the first book in the series.

Building on the Woman in Cabin 10, Ruth Ware’s Woman in Suite 11 propels Lo Blacklock into another tumultuous adventure where honesty proves both dangerous and essential. The reappearance of Carrie complicates things further—after all, one would think surviving her once was enough reason for Lo to steer clear. Yet, their reunion sets the stage for a second round of chaos and intrigue.

This time, the narrative shifts from the Aurora’s open seas to the elegance of a high-class Swiss hotel, nestled amidst the breathtaking Alps. A bit of passport trickery launches Lo on a whirlwind journey, brimming with betrayal, death, and morally questionable characters. If you enjoyed Lo and Carrie’s tense dynamics on the Aurora, this novel promises an equally thrilling ride.

Ware masterfully reunites these flawed yet compelling women in a story laced with subterfuge, drama, and an almost comedic penchant for murder accusations. Maybe it’s time these two took a vacation—without each other!

While it’s possible to enjoy this sequel on its own, reading the first novel adds valuable context to the plot.

Thank you to Gallery Books and NetGalley for this highly anticipated ARC!

Lo Blacklock, who narrowly escaped death in The Woman in Cabin 10, is back ten years later in The Woman in Suite 11. Lo has been home with her two young sons and has just decided to return to travel writing when she receives an invitation to attend the opening of the exclusive Swiss hotel Le Grand du Lac owned by billionaire Marcus Leidmann. On her first evening at the hotel, Lo recognizes several people who were involved in her Cabin 10 adventures including the woman who almost got her killed. The stories she tells Lo convince her to help the woman escape from Le Grand du Lac. A wild chase ensues, again risking Lo’s life.

Although The Woman in Suite 11 is a sequel, it can definitely be read as a standalone. Lo is a flawed character. She suffers from crippling anxiety and is hopelessly naive but you can’t help but love her and want her to get out of the mess she’s put herself into. Other characters are either friends or villains and it’s hard to know which is which. The plot is full of twists and surprises. Ruth Ware has delivered another superb thriller. 5 stars.

Thank you to NetGalley, Gallery Books and Ruth Ware for this ARC.

This is a sequel to Ware's enormously popular book The Woman in Cabin 10 (which I read so long ago I do not remember anything about, honestly). However, a reader could enjoy this as a stand alone with no knowledge about the previous book. It was fast paced and entertaining and I enjoyed it a lot.

✨Book Review✨
The Woman in Suite 11 by Ruth Ware
⭐️⭐️⭐️💫
.
This book is the sequel to one of my favorite thrillers. I just reread The Woman in Cabin 10 and still really enjoyed it, but this sequel was pretty disappointing. It did have some decent ambiance, but I don't think I would even really call it a thriller. Nothing super thrilling happened. It was definitely more of a mystery/catching up with the lives of the characters from the first book. If that is your thing, you might really enjoy this one. The plot was a little too lacking for my taste. I still did find myself picking it up and wanting to finish, so I guess it wasn't all bad. Definitely not one of my favorites by Ware.

Would I read another book in this series? Yes. Do I think The Woman in Cabin 10 needed a sequel? Maybe. Was this great? Not really. I kept finding myself wavering in the fact that I really like this author and also that if this were a stand alone book by another author, I would be disappointed.

While it has been around 8 years since I read the first book, the author does go over the events and who the characters are with enough details that it doesn't matter if you don't remember the details of the first book. But then I couldn't figure out why we were still with these characters. They aren't THAT interesting and the story premise was watery at best. But as I stated above, I would still read another book in the series, if only out of curiosity to see if the plot improves.

Before reading The Woman in Suite 11, I thought to myself "The Woman in Cabin 10 didn't really need a sequel". After reading The Woman in Suite 11, I thought to myself "The Woman in Cabin 10 didn't really need a sequel." Lo Blackwell is back again with some maturity, but still making plenty of unwise decisions. It was an entertaining read.

Thank you to NetGalley and Gallery Books for an ARC of The Woman in Suite 11., I will be purchasing this for our library when released.

I’ve been anxiously waiting for this book and I’m so thrilled to say that it in no way disappointed. Ruth Ware has been an autobuy for me and this one was no different.

Thank you to netgalley and Gallery books for giving me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The Woman in Suite 11 is a thrilling and gripping sequel that I could not put down. I loved being reunited with the familiar characters and learning what they had been up to between books. I admit there were times when I felt extremely frustrated with Lo’s naivety, but acknowledge it was a necessary to keep driving the plot forward.

I was given this book by NetGalley for an honest review- this was a great thriller!
Lo is invited to a press opening by Marcus at a Swiss hotel. When she arrives she discovers there are numerous people who she wrote about in her book! Wondering what is going on and struggling to get an interview with Marcus. And then one of them is the girl who threw her under the bus years ago. She is trying to get out of her relationship with Marcus…but at what cost. When Lo is called to Marcus room late one night - she is shocked. Now what? Now begins the race for answers!

5 stars! Fantastic sequel to Woman in Cabin 10. Hard to put down, crazy ride. Interesting locations, well-developed characters. An all around great read, highly recommended. Love Ruth Ware! Thank you #netgalley for this unputdownable ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I want to thank NetGalley and Simon and Schuster Publishers for the ARC of The Woman in Suite 11 by Ruth Ware in exchange for an honest review.

Ruth Ware takes us back to the storyline with Lo Blacklock from The Woman in Cabin 10. Ten years after her nightmare cruise ship ordeal, Lo Blacklock is married with two children, living in the United States and ready to start her journalism career again. As luck would have it, she receives an invitation to attend the press opening of a luxury hotel in Switzerland. With the encouragement of her husband, she decides to take the offer and go even if there is nothing else than to take some time for herself. Her flight was mysteriously upgraded to First class and some of the guests at the hotel were on the cruise ship with her ten years ago. Is this all a coincidence?

I devoured this story in less than two days. The story moves quickly. There are many twists and turns to keep you guessing until the very end. You do not need to read the first book to enjoy this book (however if you did not read The Woman in Cabin 10, I suggest you do!). Fans of mysteries and suspense will love this book.

When I started this book I didn't realize it's a sequel to The Woman in Cabin 10, which was kind of silly of me. I quickly caught on and ended up enjoying it quite a bit. I read The Woman in Cabin 10 when it came out, so it's been a while, but this book does a good job of casually slipping in events from that book that I was never lost or confused. It was definitely a suspenseful book, and I enjoyed it. It's not my favorite of Ware's books, but I think people will enjoy it and I'm looking forward to recommending it. Thank you NetGalley and Gallery/Scout Press for the ARC!

Thank you to NetGalley and Gallery Books for an ARC of The Woman in Suite 11.

Before reading The Woman in Suite 11, I thought to myself "The Woman in Cabin 10 didn't really need a sequel". After reading The Woman in Suite 11, I thought to myself "The Woman in Cabin 10 didn't really need a sequel." 😅 I did appreciate the glow-up of Lo Blackwell becoming a mother gaining some maturity (and sobriety), but I felt like she still made foolish decisions at every turn. Ultimately, if you found The Woman in Cabin 10's ending exciting and plausible, then you will probably enjoy this sequel as well. If you were fairly unimpressed by the first book like me, I would suggest skipping this one as it felt like more of the same.

3 stars

Ruth Ware’s The Woman in Suite 11 is a gripping sequel to The Woman in Cabin 10, though you don’t have to read the first book to enjoy the sequel, it could help explain somethings. That said, if you have, it feels like a bit of a homecoming with familiar characters making a return. This time, Lo Blacklock heads to the grand opening of a fancy Swiss hotel, expecting a glamorous escape and a shot at getting her career back on track. But when she tries to help a woman—who once saved her—flee an abusive relationship with the hotel’s powerful owner, things take a dark turn. Suddenly, Lo finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation, unsure of how much trouble she’s actually in.

Ware does what she does best—keeping you on edge with lots of twists and turns. The luxury hotel in the Swiss Alps might sound dreamy at first, but almost from the very beginning Lo can sense something off beneath the surface. She is not sure who she can trust.The story moves fast, with plenty of mystery and psychological drama to keep you guessing until the very last page. If you love a thriller that keeps you up way past bedtime, this one’s for you.

The Woman in Suite 11 is the highly anticipated sequel to The Woman in Cabin 10!

Catch up with Lo Blacklock as she reenters the workforce after stepping away to care for her children. When she receives an exclusive invitation to the grand opening of a luxurious new hotel nestled in the Swiss Alps, she can’t resist. With a few of her former contacts showing moderate interest in a potential travel feature, Lo takes the leap—and the trip.

The guest list is eclectic, but something quickly feels... off. Several attendees were also aboard that infamous cruise years ago. Is it coincidence, or is something far more sinister at play?

Then Lo receives a personal invitation to the private suite of the hotel’s wealthy owner—Suite 11—and what she finds there will change everything.

Can Lo stay ahead of the secrets unraveling around her, or will history repeat itself?

The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware was the first adult thriller I ever read-I actually won it in one of our book club holiday book swaps-and it truly changed my reading life forever. I now gleefully read hundreds of mystery/thrillers each year. So, what an absolute delight to have the opportunity to read an early copy of The Woman in Suite 11!

With Ware's signature simmering, slow-burn style, this one certainly kept me on the edge of my proverbial seat! I loved seeing cameos from some of the captivating characters we met in book one. And the twists certainly keep coming up until the very end. Brilliant, propulsive, and just a plain good time. Out 07/08!
