Review: The Woman in Cabin 10

The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

The only reason I finished this book is because the reviews were so good that I thought I needed to get into it further. Then, I'd gotten into it so far it seemed I should at least see who was playing tricks on this woman, who I found weak, whiney and totally unappealing. The writing is sophmoric, boring and repetitive but finailly I reached the last third of the book--page 236 to be exact and the story became at least somewhat interesting and, maybe, a bit unsettling but not terrorizing. The last two pages could be the last two of any mystery when there is no body to identify so one isn't sure the person is truly dead. Not in the slightest original. Should I try another ot this author's books to see if there is any improvement in story development and character building or move on to one of my favorite authors whom I know to be more adept and satisfying? For the moment, it will be the latter.
