8Has sido testigo de un asesinato...y nadie te cree. La invitación a un crucero de lujo, que zarpa de Londres rumbo a los fiordos noruegos, es como un sueño hecho realidad para Laura Blacklock, una joven periodista en horas bajas. La oportunidad es doble: no sólo podrá contemplar la maravillosa aurora boreal, sino que se codeará con gente influyente que podría ayudarla a reconducir su carrera profesional. Los primeros compases de la travesía discurren conforme a lo previsto: el ambiente del barco es suntuoso, el servicio, de primera categoría, y el pasaje derrocha elegancia, simpatía y dinero. Sin embargo, todo cambia cuando, una noche, un grito aterrador despierta a Laura, quien, estupefacta, observa cómo el cuerpo de una mujer cae al mar desde el compartimento contiguo. Al dar la voz de alarma, la tripulación le asegura que el camarote número 10 siempre ha estado vacío y que no falta ningún pasajero a bordo. Así, con creciente inquietud, Laura comprueba que... nadie le cree. Y lo peor no es que se sienta sola y aislada, sino que una serie de extraños acontecimientos la convencen de que ella puede ser la próxima víctima. Reseñas:
«Un thriller con mucho estilo, una heroína tan imperfecta como encantadora, y un ritmo narrativo trepidante. - Sunday Mirror «Un misterio tenso y envolvente. [...] Los personajes y sus conversaciones, así como el espacio lujoso y cerrado, recuerdan a los misterios clásicos de Agatha Christie. -Kirkus Reviews
«Una trama que funciona como un reloj y una prosa afilada. - Sunday Express
«Una fantástica versión de la mujer enapuros, con una protagonista valiente y un escenario agobiante. -Sunday Times
«Una lectura entretenidísima. Asusta e inquieta, te clava al asiento. -Sun on Sunday ENGLISH DESCRIPTION INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER FROM THE AUTHOR OF IN A DARK, DARK WOOD An Entertainment Weekly "Summer Must List" Pick / A New York Post "Summer Must-Read" Pick / Included in Summer Book Guides from Bustle, Oprah.com, PureWow, and USA TODAY From New York Times bestselling author of the "twisty-mystery" (Vulture) novel In a Dark, Dark Wood, comes The Woman in Cabin 10, an equally suspenseful and haunting novel from Ruth Ware--this time, set at sea. In this tightly wound, enthralling story reminiscent of Agatha Christie's works, Lo Blacklock, a journalist who writes for a travel magazine, has just been given the assignment of a lifetime: a week on a luxury cruise with only a handful of cabins. The sky is clear, the waters calm, and the veneered, select guests jovial as the exclusive cruise ship, the Aurora, begins her voyage in the picturesque North Sea. At first, Lo's stay is nothing but pleasant: the cabins are plush, the dinner parties are sparkling, and the guests are elegant. But as the week wears on, frigid winds whip the deck, gray skies fall, and Lo witnesses what she can only describe as a dark and terrifying nightmare: a woman being thrown overboard. The problem? All passengers remain accounted for--and so, the ship sails on as if nothing has happened, despite Lo's desperate attempts to convey that something (or someone) has gone terribly, terribly wrong... With surprising twists, spine-tingling turns, and a setting that proves as uncomfortably claustrophobic as it is eerily beautiful, Ruth Ware offers up another taut and intense read in The Woman in Cabin 10--one that will leave even the most sure-footed reader restlessly uneasy long after the last page is turned.
