The Woman in Cabin 10

I received this ARC from my job and that in no way sways my review.
Lo Blacklock is coming off a stressful break-in and a big fight with her boyfriend and she can't let that stop her from her possible big break. She works for a travel magazine and she has finally been given the assignment that could prove to her boss she had what it takes: a week on a small luxury cruise. Everything seems perfect, until one night when Lo thinks she sees a woman tossed overboard but when she reports what she sees, all passengers are accounted for. Lo knows what she saw and starts digging but with the more she find will she be able to stay afloat?
It's hard to find locations in modern times where no cellphones/internet access is a thing except in the middle of the sea. It creates a great setting for an Agatha Christie type mystery and adds some realistic scenes. The writing is strong allowing the suspense to build well. In the time period of psychological thrillers with unreliable narrators the author allowed Lo's story to feel easy to believe and hang on to. Lo has her personal issues but the self doubt and strength she builds played better through the book.
Although I like the reveal moment the pace slows down and goes for on for a bit too long after that. I haven't read this authors first book but with the strong writing I would add it to my to-read list.
