Damn the comparisons, but what would we do without them? In the case of Ruth Ware, I dare say that his literature rescues the best of the deep thrillers made so close to Shari lapena, with a point of greater intrigue, perhaps inherited from his compatriot Agatha Christie or his faithful heir sophie hannah.
That said, it should be noted that Ruth Ware began a promising literary career not so long ago which is certainly a creative challenge. Because chaining one after other novels loaded with the precise doses of psychological tension and dark enigmas is not an easy task. And this author achieves it, enlarging her network of followers around the world.
The leap to the cinematographic and the current profuse series has also come for this writer. And with such accolade it seems natural that we continue to enjoy new plots with which to let ourselves be led through its labyrinths in search of the final light of the unexpected twist.
Ruth Ware's Top 3 Recommended Novels
Another turn of the key
LRuth Ware's career is taking a breakneck pace and this novel is one more demonstration of his capacity for the dark surprise of suspense.
Many of the beginnings of suspense are based on that false feeling of comfort, of happiness in the destiny of the protagonist of the plot (only that he does not listen to the out-of-tune violins in the background between the pleasant sunny day). Rowan finally seems to have a good opportunity to direct his life. We are sure we are very interested in knowing how you will do ...
It's work dreamed of, but it can turn into your worst nightmare.
Although Rowan is looking for something totally different, that ad seems like too good an opportunity to pass up: a babysitting position with an incredible salary and lodging included. And when he arrives at Heatherbrae House, in the beautiful highlands from Scotland, she is impressed by a house equipped with the most modern technologies and the beautiful postcard family that lives in it.
What Rowan still does not know is that he is entering a nightmare, which will end with a dead child and with her in prison accused of murder.
The Woman in Cabin 10
From the first moment, when you read this novel, you discover that intention of lto the author for fully introducing you to the skin of Laura Blacklock. This female character is left open from the beginning to produce that chameleon effect, making room for any reader who is willing to live the adventure transformed into Laura.
Suddenly you are Laura, and you are enjoying a luxury cruise to which you have been invited. Departure London, destination the wonder of the Norwegian fjords. So far so good, a pleasant literary voyage across the North Sea. There is a great little pleasure in that mimicry with the protagonist of a novel or a movie.
You as a reader know that you have decided to read a thriller, in this case, that is, you are Laura but knowing more than Laura herself about the destiny that awaits you. Among the peaceful dreams, cradled in the depths of the sea, Laura wakes up one night terrified by a piercing scream. Startled, Laura watches as the body of a woman falls defenestrated towards the deep dark maw of the waters.
Frightened, she reports what happened, but no one can believe her... In cabin 10, from which she indicates that she saw the violent scene of the fall, no one is staying. A general review of the passengers and crew rules out this disappearance.
These types of disconcerting stories, set in a closed space like a ship sailing through the immense sea, awaken a deep unease, a desire to discover what is happening.
Nothing is ruled out, from a possible nightmare, an overflow of the imagination, to a hidden reality that escapes Laura and the reader, without knowing how far this ignorance goes. The psychosis is increasing, Laura feels threatened, her sixth sense keeps her in suspense, she knows that the woman fell, pushed by someone.
Her alarm could have alerted the person who ended the other woman's life. Now she too is in danger...
In a very dark forest
One of those stories in which you would immediately like to convey your concerns to the protagonist. Because instinct soon tells us that Nora is on her way to those depths of a forest made sinister jaws.
But of course, only we know that we are inside a suspenseful plot in which Nora's life approaches the epicenter of evil carelessly. In her pretense, in her untimely invitation to her bachelorette party, we discover in Clare someone capable of devising any plan. Because it is not that Nora maintains a friendship relationship, only the vague memories of adolescence remotely link them.
Those were other days that illuminated their friendship, until the shadows of guilt and envy destroyed everything. But the passing of the years serves to heal quarrels, and Nora prepares to attend the meeting at a house in the forest.
What can go wrong in such a remote place with other girls ready for a prenuptial party with its excesses and its point of adventure? Little by little that air of the strange creeps into the party like an ominous premonition. Certain parallels can be found with other plots about several people gathered in a place far from the world, but when things go from bad to worse you will no longer be able to stop reading until a surprising and intense ending.

Game of lies
Reunions and literary genres of horror, mystery or suspense are a perfect marriage since Stephen King will use this recurring starting point in stories like 'It»Or«The dreams Hunter«.
In this case we are tying ourselves to the ties that unite some very special girls: Isa, Fatima, Thea and Kate. The four of them shared one of those traumatic moments of youth, in the days when the intensity of what was experienced takes on special relevance in this type of story. The four of them return to Salten as soon as Kate calls them. And there the story also points to the wonderful movie scripted from the homonymous book: Sleepers, by Lorenzo Carcaterra. Because our protagonists also went through their complicated childhood from the marginal.
In the case of the girls from a boarding school where strictness always pointed to defiance. Until the moment when the breaking of the rules led them to that turning point towards horror, a kind of coincidence and misfortune brought them all face to face with the worst moment of their lives.
Now, with the years covering what happened with a slight patina of oblivion, together they must once again look at the worst scenarios of the consequences to try to completely bury those bad memories capable of destroying them.
Hello Juan, I am hooked on this writer.
I see that you have more highly acclaimed novels, but I think they are not translated into Spanish (Is it girl, The death of Mrs. Westaway) do you know something? What a disappointment!
I would appreciate it if you could answer me am.sansan.91@gmail.com
