"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"--… (mehr)

I am, in general, not drawn to murder mysteries in my reading choices. 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. ( )

This was perfect for my mood, a little drawn out but not terribly predictable ( )

She was aware first of the scent of the hotel shampoo, a Middle Eastern aroma reminiscent of anise, and then - - when she opened her eyes - - the way the light from the window was different from the light in the rooms in the hotel where the crew usually stayed.
