The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware

If you haven't seen me...YES I AM BACK AT WHHS!  I have my next doctor's appointment Monday and hope all my restrictions will be lifted then!

My new pellet stove is being installed as I type this.  We might be able to heat without oil tonight!

Now, onto the book.

I was excited when I read the description of this bestseller.  I put it on reserve, but when it came in, I kept thinking I know this author's name from somewhere.  I saw the info under her name on the cover...author of In a Dark, Dark Wood.  The title and name were both ringing bells of recognition.  I did a search of this blog and realized I had reviewed Dark Wood.  It wasn't a favorable review.

I have mixed feelings about The Woman in Cabin 10.  I think the plot itself was good--it kept me interested and there are two MAJOR plot twists, one right at the end, that were fabulous bits of thriller writing.  BUT, I found the same problem as my last review of Ware....just not enough character development to make the reader care.  I didn't FEEL anything towards the characters who lived or died.

I'm definitely in the minority here with opinions on Ware.  Most of her reviews are favorable by a mile.  I'll also say that it's on our wish list by student request.
