Dedicated: The Woman in Suite 11 by Ruth Ware
4/5 Stars
Lo Blacklock is back, and honestly? She hasn’t lost her knack for being in the absolute wrong place at the worst possible time—and I loved every minute of it.
The Woman in Suite 11 is Ruth Ware’s long-awaited follow-up to The Woman in Cabin 10, and it delivers all the twisty tension, European glamour, and claustrophobic suspense you’d expect—with a fresh post-pandemic twist. Lo’s trying to get her career back on track after years away, and an invite to a luxe new hotel on Lake Geneva seems like the perfect reentry. Except… this is a Ruth Ware novel, so things go sideways. Fast.
What starts as a bougie travel assignment turns into a high-stakes chase across Europe, complete with a mysterious woman in danger, shady billionaire secrets, and Lo questioning everything—including herself. Is she paranoid? Is she being manipulated? Or is she the only one actually paying attention?
It’s sleek, cinematic, and tense in that “I just need one more chapter” kind of way. Ware does a great job of building dread without ever going over the top, and watching Lo navigate motherhood, ambition, and moral gray zones makes her feel more layered than ever.
