The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware

Summary

This is a fun Agatha Christie like mystery and the main character, Lo Blacklock, is a journalist for a travel magazine and lands an assignment that puts her on a luxury cruise with a handful of other travelers.  Lo has a ton of personal issues such as depression, boyfriend issues, and drinks more than she should.  Her psychological issues are brought to the fore when her apartment is broken into just before she leaves for the cruise.  On her first night on the cruise, she is awoken in the middle of the night and goes out to her balcony and thinks she sees a body in the water.  She lets others know on the ship, but they don’t believe her as there is no one missing from the ship.  This is a very addictive mystery and you won’t know who the real killer is until the very end.  Highly recommend for mystery buffs.
