Lo has recovered from her ordeal on the cruise ship, had a couple of kids, survived Covid and is preparing to get back into working. When she is sent an invite to an exclusive Hotel launch in Switzerland - run by the Leidmann group - she sees it as the ideal opportunity to test the waters.
Her journey begins with an unexpected upgrade to first class, and when she arrives she is met by a number of guests that were on the cruise with her. Another familiar face - very much unexpected - pops up, with a crazy scheme she needs Lo’s help with.
What follows is preposterous.
The story involves a murder which Lo is arrested for, and her desperate attempts to prove her innocence. Truly unbelievable!

I really don't like a narrator-is-wrongfully-accused book and this is the second time Ruth Ware has used this trope. I also HATE Carrie (spelling? I listened to audio) Great audio narrator though, as always.

Oof! I was looking forward to this book and it ended up being a slog for me. I remember enjoying The Woman in Cabin 10. Turns out, I didn't need to revisit Lo.
