I have had so much fun recording these episodes and I really hope that you have enjoyed it too.We're ending the Season on a complete high as I am delighted to welcome the incredible Ruth Ware to the show. In this episode, Ruth takes us back to The Woman in Cabin 10 before talking about how readers were desperate to find out more from Lo, and how the moment of inspiration came for The Woman in Suite 11. We talk about her writing life, what it was like to see Kiera Knightely bring Lo Blacklock to the screen and we get a little glimpse into what she is working on now.And of course, no episode of Best Book Forward would be complete without book recommendations! Here's everything we mentioned, with links to buy:

Nach "The Woman in Cabin 10" entspinnt die Autorin eine spannende neue Geschichte um die Protagonistin Lo Blacklock.

7 Jahre nach dem Erfolg von „The woman in cabin 10“ setzt Ruth Ware die Geschichte von Reisejournalistin Lo Blacklock fort: Sie hat zwischenzeitlich geheiratet, zwei Kinder und möchte jetzt – 10 Jahre nach den Ereignissen auf der „Aurora“ endlich wieder arbeiten. Als sie in die Schweiz zur Eröffnung eines Nobelhotels eingeladen wird, ist das … „2444: Ruth Ware – The woman in suite 11“ weiterlesen

Neue Fälle für Miss Marple. Agatha Christies legendäre Detektivin kehrt zurück – mit brandneuen Geschichten, geschrieben von renommierten Autorinnen. Die britische Krimiautorin Ruth Ware lässt ihre Geschichte ganz traditionell in St. Mary Mead spielen - dem Dörfchen, in dem Miss Marple lebt. Die ist an Weihnachten zu Nachbarn eingeladen. Was gibt es Schöneres als auf eine dicke Schneeschicht im englischen Garten zu schauen, während man selbst unter Mistelzweigen am Kaminfeuer sitzt und sich auf Roastbeef und Plumpudding freut? Wären da nicht diese lauten Dashwoods, die ebenfalls zu den Gästen zählen. Und das Unglück, das über die Weihnachtsgesellschaft hereinbricht.... Diese Lesung hören Sie im «Krimi»-Podcast. Den Link zum Audio finden Sie unten bei «Mehr zum Thema». In Ruth Wares Geschichte gibt es für alle Miss Marple-Kenner ein Wiederhören mit alten Bekannten: So ist Miss Marples heiss geliebter Neffe Raymond mit von der Partie, zusammen mit seiner Frau Joan. Auch der Scotland Yard-Beamte Sir Henri Clithering taucht in Agatha Christies Marple-Geschichten immer wieder auf. Und die Bantrys, die Gastgeber, kennen eingefleischte Miss Marple-Fans natürlich auch noch aus dem Dienstagabend-Club, der in den allerersten Marple-Geschichten gemeinsam schwierige Rätsel knackte. «There is no detective in England equal to a spinster lady of uncertain age with plenty of time on her hands.» Mit diesem Satz schuf Agatha Christie eine Figur, die bis heute fasziniert: Miss Marple. Die schüchterne, blitzgescheite Jungfer aus dem fiktiven Dörfchen St. Mary Mead ist keine Detektivin der spektakulären Methoden. Stattdessen setzt sie auf stille Beobachtung ihrer Umgebung, profunde botanische Kenntnisse und ein grundsätzliches Misstrauen gegenüber der menschlichen Natur. Und löst so jeden Fall präzise, unspektakulär und doch verblüffend treffsicher. 1927 trat sie erstmals in einer Kurzgeschichte auf, später folgten zwölf Romane und zahlreiche weitere Geschichten. 1979 erschien der letzte Band – Miss Marple überlebte ihre Schöpferin damit um drei Jahre. Nun erlebt die berühmteste Hobbydetektivin eine Renaissance: Zwölf zeitgenössische Krimiautorinnen aus England und den USA haben neue Geschichten geschrieben – ganz im Geiste Agatha Christies und oftmals mit vielen Verweisen auf den «Miss Marple-Kosmos». Aber auch mit Themen, die in den Krimis der grossen Autorin weniger zum Tragen kamen: Rassismus im Commonwealth, sozialer Snobismus oder die gesellschaftlichen Umbrüche in den 1960er Jahren.

Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman, marking my 106th episode of VideoFuzzy titled "NERD SHOW!" reporting the progress I've made in cataloging thousands of VHS transfers and digital recordings. The title comes from my Fuzzy Feature, episodes of The History Channel's "The Universe" that turned up in my cataloging efforts including "The Seven Wonders of The Solar System," "Extreme Energy," "Light Speed" and "Time Travel." In Cross Connections I highlight appearances by Savion Glover on The Colbert Report, Seth MacFarlane and Pamela Anderson at the Comedy Central Roast of David Hasselhoff. Also Dean Norris, Neil Grayston, René Auberjonois, Rhea Perlman, Bruno Campos, Tom Skerritt, Bob Gunton, Michael Rappaport, Robert Wisdom, Gregory Itzen, Jean Smart, John Michael Higgins and John Cena. I identify Robert Patrick of "Peacemaker" as a Golden Thread in my collection. Finally, I follow an appearance by Derek Hamilton in "Psych" to his appearance in mid-'90s FOX production "Strange Luck," which lead me on a journey that turned up 15 episodes of that show on a YouTube channel called "Videos and Memories" (https://www.youtube.com/@VideosandMemories-h9c) In my Classic Collection [VHS-to-DVD transfers] this set covered discs 1926-1950. I found interviews with photographer Doug Beasley and artist Andy DuCett on "Minnesota Original," shared to VideoFuzzy's Instagram. I note the passing of Jamaican artist Jimmy Cliff's passing, his having appeared on The Colbert Report archived to disc 1926. Also, comments on "Psych," "Tosh.0," "The Comedy Central Roast of David Hasselhoff," "Monty Python's Flying Circus," "Kids in the Hall" and their 2010-era effort "Death Takes a Holiday." In Book Reports, I note author and fellow podcaster Kemper Donovan's third installment in the ghostwriter mystery series "Sweet Spot" is now available for preorder, and talk about "The Woman in Cabin 10" by Ruth Ware, an author I learned of through his production with late, fondly remembered cohost Catherine Brobeck. In my Current Collection [direct to digital], spoiler-free comments on "Schitt's Creek," "Only Murders in the Building" and "Peacemaker" (second season opening sequence: https://youtu.be/xS11-GIemXY). Also P!nk's "I'm Not Dead" concert from 2007 and commentary on indy Canticle production "End of the Rope" (2023) Other movies I watched include "Coco," "Noises Off," "Cocaine Bear," "Let's Kill Ward's Wife," "Bros," "Spoiler Alert," "M3GAN," "The Fifth Element," "In Time," "Black Adam," "Sorry to Bother You," "Fritz the Cat," "Labyrinth," "The Dark Crystal," and may I HIGHLY recommend psychological spy thriller "Black Box" with Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett. Finally, I note with some irritation changes to tubi's presentation of classic "Doctor Who." In What I've Been Watching, watch for "Knives Out 3: Wake Up, Dead Man" on Netflix. Also, spoiler-free comments on "Wicked: For Good" and "Zootopia 2." And having found that YouTube channel, here's where I dig into "Strange Luck," the unlikely set of circumstances that led me to it, my astonishment at finding it at all and how enjoyable I found it to be after all these years. Also, a cheerful little coincidence that led me to a comment about coincidences themselves in an episode of the "All About Agatha" podcast's back catalog, also shared to VideoFuzzy's Instagram page.

Bestselling author Ruth Ware doesn't do sequels, or so she's said. After nine standalone psychological thrillers, the British novelist has released “The Woman in Suite 11,” which is a follow-up to her hit 2016 book, “The Woman in Cabin 10.” Ruth sits down with guest host Ali Hassan to tell us how her readers persuaded her to take another look at her character Lo Blacklock — a travel journalist who seems to find herself on the deadly end of luxury excursions. Plus, Ruth explains how maternity leave put her on the path to becoming a professional writer.

Description: It seemed like a good idea at the time… a twisty, suspenseful thriller set on a cruise ship. How could this not be the perfect story to build a little buzz and excitement in my community ahead of our upcoming Jen Hatmaker cruise? Did we get more than we bargained for? Ruth Ware's writing has rightfully been compared to that of suspense-queen, Agatha Christie, for featuring everyday female protagonists often white-knuckling it through some treacherous situations in places where they are isolated from any rescue – a glass house in the woods, an excluded ski resort, a remote tropical island, a boutique cruise ship!  Today, Jen sits down with the author of our January 2025 JHBC pick to navigate the many twists and turns of The Woman in Cabin 10 and why so many of our readers are losing sleep this month thanks to her innate skill of setting a heart-pounding scene.   *** Thought-provoking Quotes: People are comparing me to Agatha Christie which is kind of terrifying. The thing that is so brilliant about some of Christie's books that I love the most is the closed room setting: the terrifying storm-wracked island, the luxury train in the middle of the snow storm, or the Dahabiya drifting down the Nile. What she does so brilliantly is that sense of corrupted luxury, that setting that should be really idyllic turns out horrific and becomes more and more claustrophobic and more terrifying. – Ruth Ware I have never been on a cruise but I had a chance to look around a ship as a day passenger and I was so surprised by how much I got right. There was so much that I had guessed at and I turned out to be more correct than I ever could have imagined. – Ruth Ware The way in which you write fear, to me, it feels the truest version of it when it's not screaming, ‘you're so scared, you can't make a sound' or ‘you're so scared, you're frozen – you can't move.' That to me, rings true. – Jen Hatmaker I do try really hard to drop clues and play fair with the reader. I know as a reader, the feeling that I hate most, is what I feel like the writer has cheated me and there was information that I couldn't possibly have known, stuff I couldn't have guessed and that I find deeply irritating as a reader. I try always to feel like I played fair with the reader and they did have a chance of guessing it even if they didn't get there. – Ruth Ware Isn't that why we love reading crime? It's because you can have bad things happen in a fictional world. It doesn't always get tied up in every single respect and yes, there's sadness in terms that someone is usually dead. But there is some kind of restorative justice at the end. – Ruth Ware Resources Mentioned in This Episode: The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware - https://amzn.to/3DKHCrH In a Dark, Dark Wood by Ruth Ware - https://amzn.to/400kQ6g Agatha Christie - https://www.agathachristie.com/ Below Deck tv show - https://www.bravotv.com/below-deck The Woman in Suite 11 by Ruth Ware - https://amzn.to/4gKYDk1 The Woman in Cabin 10 on Netflix - https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/the-woman-in-cabin-10-release-date-photos-news We Live Here Now by Sarah Pinborough - https://amzn.to/4h7kkKN Guest's Links: Ruth's website - https://ruthware.com/ Ruth's Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ruthwarewriter/ Ruth's Twitter - https://x.com/RuthWareWriter Ruth's Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/ruthwarewriter/ Ruth's Threads - https://www.threads.net/@ruthwarewriter Connect with Jen!

Support as little as $3 a month and have your voice heard!Shirleon & Melvin wish you a Merry Christmas while discussing a Family-friendly biblical musical, Journey to Bethlehem!

Tune in to find out!Topics: (PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 23-minutes discussing Shirleon & Melvin reflecting on the movies they've discussed through 2024, whether they have any new feelings about them, and the experience of improving one's critical thinking. (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)Spoilers are truly irrelevant for discussing the adaption of the immaculate conception and birth of King Jesus, so Shirleon and Melvin kick things off strong talking about everything.Shirleon was moved by two songs: Mother To A Savior And King & In My Blood.Melvin felt it wasn't really his thing, and the whole of the project felt largely forgettable.Discussing how virtually every musical number could be removed because they weren't integrated into the plot or pacing of the film.Shirleon & Melvin disagree on some things, and the two go back and forth.Talking Lacrae as the angel Gabriel. Or, as Melvin calls it, "Lacrangel".Is the song Mary's Getting Married supposed to be a Feminist or Trad Wife anthem? It's messaging is unclear.No matter how minimal, Melvin never overcame a perpetual unease over the film's alterations of the biblical account.Recommendations: One by One by Ruth Ware (2021) (Book)The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley (2020) (Book)Top of the Morning Coffee (Blueberry Blast, specifically)Terrifier 2 (2022) (Movie)MAILBAG: Send questions with your first name and we'll answer them in future episodes!

PARTY PLEASER: Shirleon joins Melvin in summarizing Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters, the forgotten sequel to Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief. Mythical monsters abound in this YA-flick, and the two have a fun time chattin' what works and what doesn't in this swan-song of the Percy Jackson theatrical film series. Topics:(PATREON EXCLUSIVE) 22-minutes playing a Disney Trivia Game that has some pretty dang difficult questions. Can you guess more correctly than Shirleon? (PATREON EXCLUSIVE)The first 10-minutes of the film are expediently-well paced, which for Melvin was a good sign.The "Fantasy Racism" from Annabeth to the cyclops Tyson gets to be a bit too much. It's very one-note.When the Three Fates Taxi scene took place, despite evoking Harry Potter 3, Melvin thought to himself, "Oh, I think I'm going to like this movie.".Percy's character arc is simple, and not all that explicit, but it's very much about the confusion between a found-family and a born-family, as well as concepts of faith.Tyson's cyclops CGI is off-putting, which is made worse when we see a cyclops in a flashback and it looks awesome.Jake Abel plays Luke as this character who likes being the irritating antagonist but is also really, really chill.Rewriting scenes, because that's what you do on a podcast.There's a mutuality and wanting more cost or risk within the Percy Jackson films, but that will never happen because there will never be a third film.Recommendations:One Perfect Couple by Ruth Ware (2024)Shesmadeofwords PodcastLake Mungo (2008)MAILBAG: Send questions with your first name and we'll answer them in future episodes!

The actor, producer and now memoirist Griffin Dunne on growing up in Hollywood in a family of literary stars including his aunt Joan Didion, on his own screen success opposite Madonna in Who's That Girl and in After Hours and the real-life tragedy that changed his life forever. Soft Cell front man Marc Almond on his early days as a subversive performance artist, mellowing into music that showcases his voice and his trip to the palace to get his OBE. In the decade since publishing her first psychological thriller, Ruth Ware's become an international best-seller, with her stories optioned for Hollywood movies and published in 40 languages. Now she's curated Harrogate Crime Writing Festival and has plenty to say about new trends, the enduring popularity of the genre and the forthcoming Netflix movie of her book The Woman in Cabin 10 starring Kiera Knightley. The comedian, Taskmaster champion and Celebrity Mastermind Sophie Duker advocates self delusion in her new show - But Daddy I Love Her - arguing that we should all opt for hot fantasy rather than cold hard reality. How will that work? Plus music from Tyneside singer-songwriter Nadine Shah's album, Filthy Underneath. Presented by Stuart Maconie Produced by Olive Clancy

This week, I talk with Ruth Ware about her newest thriller One Perfect Couple.  We dive into the inspiration for the book, and what stereotype Ruth would be on a reality show.One Perfect Couple SynopsisLyla is in a bit of a rut. Her post-doctoral research has fizzled out, she's pretty sure they won't extend her contract, and things with her boyfriend, Nico, an aspiring actor, aren't going great. When the opportunity arises for Nico to join the cast of a new reality TV show, The Perfect Couple, she decides to try out with him. A whirlwind audition process later, Lyla find herself whisked off to a tropical paradise with Nico, boating through the Indian Ocean towards Ever After Island, where the two of them will compete against four other couples—Bayer and Angel, Dan and Santana, Joel and Romi, and Conor and Zana—in order to win a cash prize.But not long after they arrive on the deserted island, things start to go wrong. After the first challenge leaves everyone rattled and angry, an overnight storm takes matters from bad to worse. Cut off from the mainland by miles of ocean, deprived of their phones, and unable to contact the crew that brought them there, the group must band together for survival. As tensions run high and fresh water runs low, Lyla finds that this game show is all too real—and the stakes are life or death.

The Main Character A Novel By Jaclyn Goldis A bestselling thriller author arranges a luxury train trip that is not what it appears to be in this electrifying modern homage to Agatha Christie from the author of the “tense and twisty” (Julie Clark, New York Times bestselling author) The Chateau. Reclusive, mysterious author Ginevra Ex is famous for her unusual approach to crafting her big bestselling thrillers: she hires real people and conducts intensive interviews, then fictionalizes them. Her latest main character, Rory, is thrilled when Ginevra presents her with an extravagant bonus—a lavish trip along Italy's Mediterranean coast on the famed, newly renovated Orient Express. But when Rory boards the train, she's stunned to discover that her brother, her best friend, and even her ex-fiancé are passengers, as well. All invited by Ginevra, all hiding secrets. With each stop, from Cinque Terre to Rome to Positano, it becomes increasingly clear that Ginevra has masterminded the ultimate real life twisty plot with Rory as her main character. And as Ginevra's deceptions mount, and the lies and machinations of Rory's travel companions pile up, Rory begins to fear that her trip will culminate like one of Ginevra's books: with a murder or two. In the opulent compartments of the iconic train, Rory must untangle the shocking reasons why Ginevra wanted them all aboard—and to what deadly end. Another stylish and compulsively readable mystery from Jaclyn Goldis, this is the perfect read for fans of Ruth Ware, Lucy Foley, and Paula Hawkins.

One Perfect Couple by Ruth Ware https://amzn.to/3vSEO8h Harkening to Agatha Christie's classic And Then There Were None, this high-tension and ingenious thriller follows five couples trapped on a storm-swept island as a killer stalks among them—from Ruth Ware, the New York Times bestselling author who “is turning out to be as ingenious and indefatigable as the Queen of Crime” (The Washington Post). Lyla is in a bit of a rut. Her post-doctoral research has fizzled out, she's pretty sure they won't extend her contract, and things with her boyfriend, Nico, an aspiring actor, aren't going great. When the opportunity arises for Nico to join the cast of a new reality TV show, One Perfect Couple, she decides to try out with him. A whirlwind audition process later, Lyla find herself whisked off to a tropical paradise with Nico, boating through the Indian Ocean towards Ever After Island, where the two of them will compete against four other couples—Bayer and Angel, Dan and Santana, Joel and Romi, and Conor and Zana—in order to win a cash prize. But not long after they arrive on the deserted island, things start to go wrong. After the first challenge leaves everyone rattled and angry, an overnight storm takes matters from bad to worse. Cut off from the mainland by miles of ocean, deprived of their phones, and unable to contact the crew that brought them there, the group must band together for survival. As tensions run high and fresh water runs low, Lyla finds that this game show is all too real—and the stakes are life or death. A fast-paced, spellbinding thriller rife with intrigue and characters that feel so true to life, this novel proves yet again that Ruth Ware is the queen of psychological suspense.About the author Ruth Ware is an international number one bestseller.
