LOVE that Ruth Ware came back to Lo's story as The Woman in Cabin 10 is one of my favorites from the author. Meet up with Lo again after a decade has passed (her time and also time between book publications! Although I only read The Woman in Cabin 10 a couple years ago) was a lot of fun - it was great to see her as a mother. I had forgotten a lot of plot details from the first book, but feel like Ware wove enough backstory in to help me remember who was who. I also loved trying to sort out the door lock times myself. The whodunnit aspect was great in this one even though there really weren't too many suspects. The last two books from Ware weren't quite for me, so I was extremely pleased that this one felt like it went back to the style of her earlier novels! The only thing that is still bothering me about this one is why did Ben have that train ticket?? I don't think that was ever addressed??

⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Woman in Suite 11 by Ruth Ware that captures the suspense, character depth, and atmosphere.
Ruth Ware’s long-anticipated sequel to The Woman in Cabin 10. This follows the same character Lo Blacklock is back this time balancing motherhood, trauma, and a career revival under the glamorous yet unsettling glow of a luxury Swiss hotel on Lake Geneva. The novel kicks off as a bougie assignment but swiftly spirals into a high stakes cat and mouse chase across Europe, shady billionaires, moral grey zones, and uneasy alliances.
While the plot leans a bit on knowledge of the first book and some twists strain believability, Ware’s pacing, misdirection, and psychological insight make this an engaging, page turning follow-up. A worthy, suspense filled 4 star read.
