It's just not the way I chose to spend what never seems like enough reading time. If I had known "The Flight Attendant" was a murder mystery, I might not have even picked it up, but I did because it was written by Chris Bohjalian, whose books I have enjoyed immensely. The fact that the story begins when a flight attendant with a killer hangover wakes up in a plush hotel bed next to the nearly-decapitated hedge fund manager she met on their flight to Dubai might have put me off, but it did not. Because I knew I would be treated to well-drawn, credibly-flawed characters and a compelling story. And so I was. What I did not expect from that opening scene were the twists and turns in the plot that I never once anticipated. Nothing and no one are what they seem. This book was so much more than a murder mystery -- or a thriller, as I had seen it described -- it was also a tale of redemption. Well done! ( ) The Flight Attendant A Novel by Chris Bohjalian published by Doubleday Books is a good read. I want to thank all parties who made this book possible and many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for my arc of this novel. I like many readers out there feel that the thriller genre is highly saturated but this novel has such unique qualities that it makes it a gem in the genre. Chris Bohjalian does an amazing job painting his female lead in many dimensions. While she comes across like a drunk party girl who enjoys a good time in every part of the world she lands, she is also a devoted aunt a strong female and a sister. For those who do not know much about alcoholism it is a very interesting ride watching Cassie spiral then picking herself up. I felt that the slow pace of the novel actually didn’t bother me. Why you ask well that simple because I think the slow format makes the story more digestible for the reader there for making it a more enjoyable read. I think the only thing I didn’t much care for was the character of Viktor while I get the role he played I just want a fan. Over all I think this deserves a read from anyone who likes a thriller with lots of twists. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

UNA HISTORIA PODEROSA SOBRE CÓMO UNA VIDA ENTERA PUEDE CAMBIAR EN UNA SOLA NOCHE. UNA AUXILIAR DE VUELO SE DESPIERTA EN EL HOTEL EQUIVOCADO, EN LA CAMA EQUIVOCADA, JUNTO A UN DESCONOCIDO. QUE ESTÁ MUERTO, PERO ELLA NO RECUERDA NADA DE LO QUE HA SUCEDIDO. Cassandra Bowden conoce bien las mañanas de resaca. Le gusta tomarse unas copas de vez en cuando y su trabajo en la aerolínea le facilita encontrar nuevas aventuras, así que tener lagunas de memoria parece inevitable; convive con ellas, y también con el sentimiento de culpabilidad que conllevan. Cuando se despierta en la habitación de un hotel de Dubái, intenta reconstruir lo que pasó la noche anterior mientras espera para tomar el transporte que la llevará al aeropuerto. Se desliza fuera de la cama sigilosamente, tratando de no empeorar su ya intenso dolor de cabeza, y observa al hombre con el que ha pasado la noche. Contempla su pelo oscuro, su calma absoluta... y sangre, un charco de sangre todavía húmeda sobre las sábanas blancas. Temerosa de llamar a la policía, Cassie empieza a mentir. Miente al unirse al resto de sus compañeros en la furgoneta; miente durante el vuelo a París, en el que se ocupa de la cabina de clase preferente; miente a los agentes del FBI en Nueva York, que la esperan a su llegada. Pronto será demasiado tarde para confesar la verdad, o para enfrentarse a lo que realmente pasó en Dubái. ¿Pudo haberlo matado? Y si no fue ella, ¿quién lo hizo?
