The Woman in Cabin 10

The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware began with great promise, hit a snag in the middle, maintained a brief climactic revival, and then died with a whimper! It was the perfect mindless read for my April Los Cabos vacation! Funny story: Camille read about five books during our five-night stay and I barely finished this one book (and a few chapters of the Stephen King classic The Stand downloaded on my phone) before vacation’s end. 

Truthfully, our last day in paradise I still had four chapters to complete. I was determined to leave it on the book exchange shelf at the resort (where I obtained it from a departing Canadian vacationer on our first day). I ended up downloading the audiobook and listening to the conclusion at the San Jose Airport, thereby I, the slowest reader in the east, DID successfully complete one book before our departure from western Mexico!

That said, see description above, it was just your basic psychological thriller, the perfect accompaniment to my days lazing by the pool and nights falling into a deep, sun-induced, snoring slumber zzzzzzzzz!

On this trip, Camille was not amused by my nocturnal utterances, and I was utterly fascinated by her meticulous Virgo-esque suitcase packing technique. Not only were all her provisions folded, organized, and color coded to within an inch of their life, but she also managed to squeeze five hardcover, library books into a carry-on size piece of luggage.
