About this listen
From the New York Times best-selling 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 40,000 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.

Chemist Elizabeth Zott is not your average woman. In fact, Elizabeth Zott would be the first to point out that there is no such thing as an average woman. But it’s the early 1960s and her all-male team at Hastings Research Institute takes a very unscientific view of equality. Except for one: Calvin Evans; the lonely, brilliant, Nobel–prize nominated grudge-holder who falls in love with—of all things—her mind. True chemistry results.

When you listen to this audiobook, you will make many assumptions. You will assume you are listening to a story about a jealous ex-wife. You will assume she is obsessed with her replacement - a beautiful, younger woman who is about to marry the man they both love. You will assume you know the anatomy of this tangled love triangle. Assume nothing. Twisted and deliciously chilling, The Wife Between Us exposes the secret complexities of an enviable marriage - and the dangerous truths we ignore in the name of love.

Critic reviews
"Filled with turbulence and sudden plunges in altitude, The Flight Attendant is a very rare thriller whose penultimate chapter made me think to myself, 'I didn't see that coming.' The novel - Bohjalian's 20th - is also enhanced by his deftness in sketching out vivid characters and locales and by his obvious research into the realities of airline work." (Maureen Corrigan, The Washington Post)
"An expertly turned thriller... [Bohjalian]'s back-loaded the story with twists, from ones that were hinted at early to left-field surprises. And the brisk and busy ending is a fireworks show of redemption, revelation and old-fashioned gunplay." (Mark Athitakis, USA Today)
"Readers who enjoyed the imperfect heroine in Paula Hawkins's The Girl on the Train and the anxiety-ridden paranoia of Fyodor Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment will be hooked by this murder mystery." (Library Journal)

Should Have Read the Reviews First
Yuck! Years ago I read Looking for Mr. Goodbar, and when I had finished, I wanted to take a shower. I felt the same with this book. The main character was so chaotic and unlikable. She kept doing self destructive things that I felt were not really believable. These actions did not push the narrative forward; they seemed to just be there to explain an implausible part of the plot. The ending of the book was totally unbelievable, and I use that word unbelievable in its true meaning.
Also, the author used the word bring many, many times, and I don't think he used it in the correct way. The word take should have been used. This really annoyed me and detracted from the narrative. A small thing, yes, but for a former english teacher, quite grating. Save your credit; this book is not worth it.

Fun spy thriller spoiled by one of the narrators
A fun spy thriller even if the novel crosses over more to drama than anything else. I really did enjoy it, even though there were some characters and actions that I feel the author should have explored more in the book.
The second narrator, Grace Experience, should be banned from reading audio books until such time she learns to narrate. At a higher speed (1.4x), the impact of her nasal voice is somewhat lessened. Still, it's the reason the book is sitting at 3 stars instead of a 4.
Cassie Bowden is a fun character, her introspection and subsequent failure to listen to her wise inner voice is also compelling. The supporting cast is mostly great, but the author spends lots of time developing the characters, but doesn't finish their story within the book

I think this is the best book I have read in quite some time. (or had read to me I should say lol). While the narrators voices I found slightly annoying , I do still appreciate the effort that was undoubtedly invested into narrating the book overall . As for the story line , completely original & suspenseful! Not to mention the climax was like no other, as well as the ending , simply superb. I would recommend to anyone looking for some entertainment. I couldn't stop listening, I was just DYING to know what was next! And it never did disappoint .. Major kudos to the author for bringing such sheer originality to the table in an Era when everything has essentially "been done " already. Five stars all the way across the board in my opinion !!

My first audio book
It took awhile for the story to grab you. The end was unpredictable so that is what made it most enjoyable.

Good to the end
Kept my interest the entire book with a sense of dread and really didn't finish until final few paragraphs.
