This book was good. I will admit at first I just couldn't get into it so I was afraid I wasn't going to enjoy it but as the story progressed I found myself completely absorbed in the story. It was fun to reunite with many of the characters from the first book (The Woman in Cabin 10) and meet some less than pleasant and pleasant new characters.
In this story, Lo gets invited to a luxury hotel for her journalism. She goes but it seems like trouble just seems to follow poor Lo everywhere she goes and this is no exception. Twists, turns, and utter surprises await as you turn each page of this story. I won't tell you much so that I don't spoil anything but this is a good book.
I did like the first book just a bit more but this is a solid second book in the series.

While it was nice to revisit with characters from "The Woman In Cabin 10," the story and setting didn't hook me. I was hoping for much more suspense and surprise endings that Ruth Ware is so known for.

Another fabulous who done it from Ruth Ware. Action packed plot with excellent twists and a satisfying conclusion.

Lo Blacklock remains an infuriatingly clueless protagonist who makes a series of dumb decisions. But I still preferred this to The Woman in Cabin 10! I think the story moved faster! The big reveal was rather predictable. And the entire plot hinges on Lo's daftness and willingness to go along with a lunatic plan presented to her by an old friend Carrie from book one, who becomes a major player and is up to major hijinks again here. The writing style and the mega climax are classically Ruth Ware. I was entertained.
