Very compelling thriller about a young travel journalist, Laura Blacklock (Lo for short) who is lucky enough to be going on a once in a lifetime voyage on a small cruise ship,the Aurora, to Norway and its fjords as an assignment for the travel magazine she writes for. A few days before the cruise, she experiences a break-in at her apartment that really freaks her out (she is already on anti-anxiety medication). Then on the cruise she hears noises from the cabin next door, Cabin 10, including a scream and what sounds like a body being dumped into the ocean. When she investigates, she also thinks she sees a smear of blood on the glass of the veranda. When she calls for help at 3:30 AM, the head of security on the ship doesn't seem to believe her especially since Lo had been drinking and taking pills. And then there's the fact that no one is supposed to be in Cabin 10 even though Lo had seen a young woman there earlier that day -- the room is clean with no blood or evidence that anyone had been there. Despite the lack of evidence, Lo won't believe that she did not see and hear the things she reported and sets out to prove that a murder had been committed. So did Lo imagine the whole thing? What really happened in Cabin 10 and what happened to the girl she had seen there who was wearing a Pink Floyd t-shirt? And is Lo now in jeopardy?

This was really a thrilling read that I had a hard time putting down. Ware is also the author of "In a Dark, Dark Wood" which I will be on the lookout for.
