The Woman in Suite 11 By: Ruth Ware

, ,

Rating: 3 out of 5.

We are back 10 years later for a sequel of The Women in Cabin 10. Lo Blacklock and a few other familiar names from Ware’s previous break out book are back. Readers will be excited to find out what unfortunate situation Lo has gotten her self into now.  

What? You don’t remember what the storyline is of The Women in Cabin 10? Or are you one of these people that wrote into Ruth Ware asking her for a sequel? 

Honestly, I can’t think of one reason why anyone would want to sequel to a thriller book like The Women in Cabin 10. I especially don’t need a sequel of a book I read 10 years later. Yet here we are with a subpar sequel. I’d like to agree with a few others that also made this statement, a thriller novel NEVER needs a sequel. Thrillers are meant to thrill.  Not drag on for the next 10 years.

Of course, as a Ruth Ware super fan, an unnecessary sequel or not, I’m still here to read everything this woman puts on paper. 

When it comes to reviewing this book, however, there really isn’t much to say. It’s a classic, fast paced Ruth Ware book we all know and love. Her way of writing that keeps a reader engaged. She creates a difficulty for the reader to put down the book. All of this magic is still very much there.

The content of this book is what I find annoying. The only thing you really have to know about the story The Woman in Suite 11 is the main character Lo Blacklock is she is so stupid. She is naive. The whole story is basically unbelievable because of the main character’s absolute stupidity.

This is all really a shame because I was really looking forward to another book from Ruth Ware. Hopefully she has something more exciting up her sleeve and it comes out soon because I miss her writing. This did not fill my yearly Ruth Ware cup.

I wouldn’t recommend this book to my reader friends, but I also wouldn’t not recommend this book to my reader friends. It’s still borderline entertaining. Even though the whole time you will be actually yelling out loud of how dumb Lo is. 

Are you excited for a sequel? Let me know below, I’d love to hear from you.
