Although the ending is a bit flat, overall I really enjoyed this book and was hard pressed a few times to put it down. ![]() As the story progresses, Lo is relentless in pursuing this mystery woman and faces off with her own demons and other evils aboard the boat. She never thought that this dream opportunity would turn sinister, but the mysterious woman in the next cabin, cabin 10, changes this. Lo Blacklock, a travel writer, was thrilled when she landed this assignment, excited and looking forward to luxurious spa treatments, gourmet meals, pampering and the chance to mingle with some very influential people. It's a psychological thriller, which takes place on a small luxury boat's maiden voyage, and onboard are journalists and wealthy investors. PBR Book Review:The Woman in Cabin 10 is a classic whodunit tale, a good one with excellent tension and suspense and it's also nicely paced. ![]()

![]() ![]() ![]() I could read the series more than my 7 times record and never get bored with it, even if I memorize an entire dialogue exchange by heart. There are some characters that I hate with my entire being (even the good guys) but being capable of feeling any strong emotions signifies that you’re engaged in the book. The series is long, but none of the details included are overblown or unnecessary, so essentially it’s watching the development of a really lovable universe. Rereading the series has probably taught me more of how to write than every English class and writing camp I’ve ever taken. The characters are not overpowered, but have a basic goodness (or lack thereof, for the villains) that make them tangible and likable. Flanagan did his research, and he did it well. I wouldn’t go as far to say it’s a book for nerds, but there are fascinating technical details on every page. Keating is an excellent narrator and really makes Flanagans words come to life. I will also note that I listened to the audiobook version narrated by John Keating. This is a tale that can be read and enjoyed by all ages, providing an adventurous plot with deeper themes on friendship and loyalty. The entire series of Ranger’s Apprentice checks every box. Rangers Apprentice does not fit into that category. Likable characters, a comprehensible plotline, suspense, humor, and overall just a well-written story.
