I can’t
remember the last time I had to work so hard not to read the last page before the ending—which is something I
don’t normally do anyway, unless of course I’ve decided beyond a shadow of a
doubt that I won’t be finishing the book—because I literally could not stand
not knowing. I was hooked from the very first sentence on the first page, to
the last sentence on the last page. It was that kind of a book.
Tanya is on
the run. Again. Especially since her husband fell to his death down a flight of
stairs. (I’m not giving anything away. This is knowledge imparted in the first
sentence.) Because of her past she’s sure the police won’t believe her and
might even find out why she’s on the run to begin with.
In the
course of her cross country travels she picks up then ditches quite a few
identities, meets several shady
characters, and some not so shady but since she can’t tell the difference she
continues to run until… I don’t want to give anything away so you’ll just have
to read it for yourself.
Well
written, a great storyline, a plucky protagonist quick on her feet, and
seriously fast paced, The Passenger
is a great read.
