The Last Flight by Julie Clark.
Synopsis
Claire Cook has a perfect life. But behind closed doors, nothing is quite as it seems. That perfect husband has a temper that burns as bright as his promising political career, and he's not above using his staff to track Claire's every move. But what he doesn't know is that Claire has worked for months on a plan to vanish.
A chance meeting in an airport bar brings her together with a woman whose circumstances seem equally dire. Together they make a last-minute decision to switch tickets ― Claire taking Eva's flight to Oakland, and Eva traveling to Puerto Rico as Claire. But when the flight to Puerto Rico goes down, Claire realizes it's no longer a head start but a new life. Cut off, out of options, with the news of her death about to explode in the media, Claire will assume Eva's identity, and along with it, the secrets Eva fought so hard to keep hidden.
My Thoughts
The Last Flight is the story of Eva and Claire told in alternating narrators. The switch back and forth between the two narrators is smooth and easy to follow. The relatively short chapters and the suspenseful writing make it easy to keep a steady rhythm turning the pages. Well executed plot twists. I look forward to reading this author's newest book, The Lies I Tell, from my bookshelf.
My Rating: 4/5
