The Woman in Suite 11 | 
pickLo Blacklock—the same one who once braved The Woman in Cabin 10—is now a mother of two, living in the US with her husband ,She mostly does freelance work. Restless and eager to return to her career, Lo seizes an invitation to the press opening of a luxury Swiss hotel owned by a reclusive billionaire. But among the glittering guests, she meets faces from her past, pulling her into a storm of murder and betrayal.🎧
pickIt‘s been a hot minute since I read The Woman in Cabin 10, and I was a bit worried that some of this might be lost on me, but there were recaps on the characters and events from the first book. It was a fun ride! Although it may have been a bit too long and most people could probably figure out the whodunnit (at least partially), I still enjoyed it.

so-soThe cast of characters were few so I trusted Lo to not be among the guilty. Lo makes decisions so bad that her character could easily star in a Hallmark mystery movie series. It was all so hokey but that didn‘t stop me from wanting to know the resolution. It was okay - another author I just can‘t quit.
so-soThis was longer than it needed to be, but it finally picked up halfway through. Some lines felt repeated, and the protagonist got on my nerves sometimes. Usually, I like this author's works. This one went on too long. The extra twists became tiresome rather than thrilling.
so-soThis is a low so-so. It was my least favorite Ruth Ware novel to date. I've loved all of her other work. But the women in this book were whiney, witless, and annoying, and I did not have the patience for it. Maybe it was better in print than audio. I love Imogen Church, but she can't do a New York American accent. The audio was over 15 hours long, and I slogged through it, leaving me disappointed.
pickRuth Ware is always a fun, easy mystery read! It was interesting getting to see familiar characters again (although it‘s been a while since I read the 1st book) and to find out what they‘d been up to and where they were hoping to go. I‘m not going to lie, the mystery was extremely easy to figure out, but I still had fun anyways. I went back and forth between the ebook and audio and I really think the narrator did an excellent job! 🌟🌟🌟🌟
pickThis was fun! But I have to say, none of it surprised me. I basically figured out everything that was happening. For me, that didn‘t diminish my enjoyment, but it might for others. I‘m also not a huge fan of Imogene Church as an audio reader, but she‘s perfectly matched with this book.
I can‘t decide if I should reread the first book again before I get into this one. Those who‘ve read this, do I need to?
Okay, I didn‘t need it. I already have a Paperwhite and a Scribe. But I love it! 🥰😍🥳💕 #KINDLECOLORSOFT
You know it's going to be a good day when a new Ruth Ware book comes out! 🥳🎉🎉🎉
Now let's hope I don't have to remember a lot about the first book - because it's been many years since I first read The Woman in Cabin 10! 😂
