To me it seeemd obvious that the break -ins were staged to make someone cancel their trip so there'd be an empty cabin for Richard to stash Carrie. Lo decided to go anyway so they broke into the other guy's house and stole his passport. He canceled. Voila, empty cabin 10

Yes. This was probably the only reason why I was unable to give this book a solid 5 stars. My mind just wanted to know so badly what that break-in entailed. I feel very unaccomplished by not knowing. Had this been explained I would have loved the book way more. I did love the storyline but the book felt a bit unfinished when I completed reading the book on my honeymoon this year.
Erika
Yes!! Why mention it twice in the book and not deliver an explanation?!? Probably would of given the book a bit more depth.
Sheryl Cote
It's like the end was chopped quickly. All of a sudden she is home in her boyfriend's arms and living happily after.

I was hoping to get an answer to that question as well as Alexander seeing "a woman leaving Ben's cabin" that night...... I know he claimed it wasn't true but between that and not mentioning his leaving the poker game in the middle to get his wallet, he seemed pretty sketchy. Were we just to assume Alexander was mistaken?

If you think about it, I don't actually think the two events were connected at all. Whereas the one guy stayed home for his family (I think), Lo had no personal connections or reasons to stay home following a break in. If anything, it was a catalyst that made her WANT to get on the boat. I just think it was incredibly poor writing and that the two break-ins had nothing to do with each other. If the author wanted to leave a room empty, then everyone should have had a break in on that end of the boat.

I guess my reaction was the break in at her apartment was to set up her frazzled state of mind. To give us background on Lo's instability and state of mind - so that when she did question what she saw on the boat, we would understand why she might be skittish, question herself, not be confident, etc...
I didn't see the break ins on the boat as connected at all - they were a result of here opening her big mouth and blabbing to pretty much everyone she ran into about the incident she saw. Seemingly trusting everyone with a secret. Which, in my opinion was contradictory to someone who is suffering from a recent assault - wouldn't she have been more close-mouthed and reserved/scared to share? Just my thoughts...
I kind of thought she talked too much on the boat and that kind of caused her own problems there. The incident at her apartment was random and Ware could have summed that part up with a one chapter dream/memory sequence or something and gotten the action of the story moving much quicker, too...because overall, when the story line picked up...it was engaging and interesting...but the beginning of her bumbling around in a stupor after the break-in was too long.

Yes, I kept expecting that to happen, too.
Ryan Hixson
It did me, I thought the whole I don't like to be trapped because I was helpless in the break-in scenario and now I'm now I'm trapped again and not going to let by self be helpless this time was crap. I feel supersonic would try to escape eventually.
Allyson Anderson
Just finished this book and YES!!
Nalene
Yes, I did. I was expecting more of a reveal at the end to show how Carrie and Richard had been "puppetmastering" everything from way before the sailing. Was half expecting the reveal that the cook she saw wearing the gloves was also the guy who broke in.
Olaf
Interesting. I never for one second though the break in was related to anything that happened on the ship. It was clearly a device to explain Lo's mental state, her self doubts and skepticism from others.
Sameeta G
Those break-ins had to be connected. It also explains the point Lo was trying to put across to Carrie. Richard had planned the murder all along, if she had made that connection and conveyed it to Carrie, she could've convinced Carrie of Richard's intentions much earlier.
