Nilsson took her to talk to the members of the staff, but no one remembered seeing a girl who fit the description of the girl Lo described. The blood smear that Lo had seen earlier on the balcony was also gone by the time Nilsson arrived.īecause Lo remembered what it was like to be a victim, she made it her mission to find out what had happened to the girl. Nilsson informed Lo that no one was staying in the cabin next door to hers and even let Lo look at the empty, meticulously clean cabin. Fearing that the strange girl from whom she had borrowed a tube of mascara earlier that day had come to a terrible fate, Lo called the ship’s security. Her first night on the ship Lo was awakened by what she believed was the sound of a body being thrown over the balcony of the cabin next door. She had not slept since the break-in two days before and was already jittery with sleep deprivation. Lo was still reeling from a break-in at her apartment when she boarded the Aurora, a boutique cruise ship, for a week-long cruise as part of a work assignment.

When Lo’s life was in danger, would the girl whom Lo had fought so hard to find justice for return the favor for Lo? She noticed that evidence was being destroyed, but Lo continued to try to find out what had happened to the mysterious girl whom she had seen in the cabin next to hers but no one else seemed to believe existed. Despite the fact she was accused of making up the story for attention, she was ordered anonymously to stop digging into the crime. In The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware, journalist Laura “Lo” Blacklock was determined that she had witnessed a murder in the cruise ship cabin next to hers even though no one wanted to believe her.
