The Other Passenger
Ratings13
Average rating3.5
The “queen of the sucker-punch twist” (Ruth Ware, #1 New York Times bestselling author) and author of Our House weaves a suspenseful thriller about a commuter who becomes a suspect in his friend’s mysterious disappearance. Perfect for fans of the unputdownable page-turners by Christina McDonald and Lisa Jewell. It all happens so quickly. One day you’re living the dream, commuting to work by ferry with your charismatic neighbor Kit in the seat beside you. The next, Kit hasn’t turned up for the boat and his wife, Melia, has reported him missing. When you get off at your stop, the police are waiting. Another passenger saw you and Kit arguing on the boat home the night before and the police say that you had a reason to want him dead. You protest. You and Kit are friends—ask Melia, she’ll vouch for you. And who exactly is this other passenger pointing the finger? What do they know about your lives? No, whatever danger followed you home last night, you are innocent, totally innocent. Aren’t you?

Convoluted plot regarding two couples and their developing relationships, secrets, flaws, etc. Disappearance, murder, lies and deception. Kept me reading.
This was a good read, although I can't say I much cared for any of the characters.
It was well written, so there was that.
More Twisted Than The London River It Takes Place On. This is one of those hyper-twisted books where for much of the tale, you think you're getting one thing... only for it to flip, then flip again, then again and again and again. Told mostly in two eras, the days immediately after a particular person goes missing and the year prior to that event, this is a tale of intrigue and, let's be quite honest, quite deplorable characters. Seriously, if you are the type that has to “like” the characters or at least one of them... well, there really isn't much of that to go around here. These characters are all horrible in some way or another, though hey, perhaps that is life. Overall a compelling story with an ending you won't believe. Very much recommended.
