So that was probably in the back of my mind when I was brainstorming. I think it was partly because so many people compared my first thriller, In a Dark, Dark Wood, to Christie, I was thinking about her plots and she excels at that stifled luxury feeling, she evokes it so well in Murder on the Orient Express, Death on the Nile, and And then there were None. So I knew right from the beginning that it was going to be set on a boat. The initial seed for the book was the scene where Lo wakes in the night and hears a splash, and runs to the balcony. Did you set out to write a locked-room mystery with the ship being a prerequisite, or did your plotline evolve into one? Q: Setting a crime story on a luxury cruise is quite an ingenious mystery-thriller trope. Every time I see it on a jacket or blurb, I assume they must be talking about someone else, and do a little jump when I remember it’s me. How does it feel?Īmazing – and quite surreal! I still haven’t quite got used to the idea that I am an official New York Times Bestselling Author. 4 on the NY Times bestseller list while your last book retains its No.8 position on the charts. Q : The Woman in Cabin 10 recently debuted at No. Following the success of her latest book, we chatted to the crime-thriller writer about the premise of Cabin 10, whether we can expect a sequel and more.
Her debut thriller and the anticipated follow-up, The Woman in Cabin 10, were both Sunday Times top ten bestsellers in the UK, and New York Times bestsellers in the US. Ruth Ware’s debut novel, In a Dark, Dark Wood, garnered critical acclaim and won a RT Reviewer’s Choice Award in 2015.
