The woman in Cabin 10 literally gives you a jolt within the first few pages and continues the onslaught all the way to the end. The story follows Laura ‘Lo’ Blacklock as she boards the posh yacht, the Aurora. The whole expanse is filled with luxury and networking. As a lowly writer only in attendance because of her boss’ maternity leave, Lo finds herself entrenched in lies and deceit . . . or does she? A sound in the middle of the night causes her to bolt awake. Bouts of alcohol mixed with anti-depressants leave her confused. But she seems to be sure that there was a woman in cabin 10, despite the fact that there is no record of anyone in that suite. With the help of her ex, Ben Howard, she begins to explore every crevice of the boat. The staff, while they appear to be the best of the best, can’t seem to help or understand her. She starts to question everyone aboard the ship: photographers, writers, and even the wealthy owner. With the strain of the unknown, she begins to unravel an intricate and dangerous plot. In doing so, she places a target on her back. As her suspicions mount, will she be caught by the dubious attendee, or will she make it off the boat in time?
