Description
In this gripping follow-up to bestselling author Ruth Ware's multi-million-copy mega-hit The Woman in Cabin 10 - now a major film on Netflix, starring Keira Knightley - Lo Blacklock returns to attend the opening of a luxury hotel, only to find herself in a white-knuckled race across Europe.
When the invitation to attend the press opening of a luxury Swiss hotel - owned by reclusive billionaire Marcus Leidmann - arrives, it's like the answer to a prayer. Three years after the birth of her youngest child, Lo Blacklock is ready to re-establish her journalism career, but post-pandemic travel journalism is a very different landscape from the one she left ten years ago.
The chateau on the shores of Lake Geneva is everything Lo's ever dreamed of, and she hopes she can snag an interview with Marcus. Unfortunately, he proves to be even more difficult to pin down than his reputation suggests. When Lo gets a late-night call asking her to come to Marcus's hotel room, she agrees despite her own misgivings. She's greeted, however, by a woman claiming to be Marcus's mistress, and in life-or-death jeopardy.
What follows is a thrilling cat-and-mouse pursuit across Europe, forcing Lo to ask herself just how much she's willing to sacrifice to save this woman...and if she can even trust her?

Reviews / Votes
'(a) gripping thriller' Red'A masterful follow up to The Woman in Cabin 10' Crime Monthly
'A sharp thriller' Prima
'It's the definition of a page-turner - as the plot hurtles towards the end, readers will find themselves unable to put the book down.' The Irish Examiner
'A fast-paced treasure trove of conspicuous consumption, double and triple crosses, and imperilled heroines making very bad decisions, The Woman in Suite 11 is as fizzily decadent as a pre-brunch mimosa.' Irish Times
Also featured in the Irish Independent's July thriller round up 'Ware's writing has all her trademarks of a tricky plot, great backdrops and convincing dialogue' Daily Mail
'It's clever, cleanly plotted and there'll be more than a few moments when you're wondering what turn it'll next take' Belfast Telegraph
'(a) gripping sequel' Press Association
'A proper page turner' Fabulous 'How do you write a sequel to a globally bestselling standalone phenomenon? The follow-up to The Woman in Cabin 10 is a thriller of substance and panache, with twists aplenty and not one, but two heroines to root for - if you can bring yourself to trust them' Vaseem Khan
