"From the New York Times bestselling author of The Guest Room, a powerful story about the ways an entire life can change in one night: A flight attendant wakes up in the wrong hotel, in the wrong bed, with a dead man - and no idea what happened. Cassandra Bowden is no stranger to hungover mornings. She's a binge drinker, her job with the airline making it easy to find adventure, and the occasional blackouts seem to be inevitable. She lives with them, and the accompanying self-loathing. When she awakes in a Dubai hotel room, she tries to piece the previous night back together, counting the minutes until she has to catch her crew shuttle to the airport. She quietly slides out of bed, careful not to aggravate her already pounding head, and looks at the man she spent the night with. She sees his dark hair. His utter stillness. And blood, a slick, still wet pool on the crisp white sheets. Afraid to call the police - she's a single woman alone in a hotel room far from home - Cassie begins to lie. She lies as she joins the other flight attendants and pilots in the van. She lies on the way to Paris as she works the first class cabin. She lies to the FBI agents in New York who meet her at the gate. Soon it's too late to come clean-or face the truth about what really happened back in Dubai. Could she have killed him? If not, who did? Set amid the captivating world of those whose lives unfold at forty thousand feet, The Flight Attendant unveils a spellbinding story of memory, of the giddy pleasures of alcohol and the devastating consequences of addiction, and of murder far from home"-- Provided by publisher.

zero stars submitted by bookher on June 23, 2018, 6:27pm My gosh... I tried to like this book but couldn't get past a few chapters. This flight attendant was the dumbest protagonist I've come across in any book in a long time. I just couldn't bear to waste time reading about her.

Mystery/Twists submitted by Pooh3238 on June 26, 2018, 10:20am I wanted to enjoy this book. The flight attendant was not the best main character--she wasn't my favorite. Nothing that she did was something that someone with common sense would do. I wanted to keep reading to see what was going to happen next. The ending was not very believable.

Unreliable Narrator! submitted by Beth Manuel on August 21, 2018, 8:12pm The plot of this book was intriguing, but there was too much espionage for my taste. The Protagonist was, for lack of a better term, was described as a not-to-be-trusted-drunk. Some of her decisions were downright appalling. But things came together and it made sense-I only finished it to see how it would end.
