À propos de cet audio
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.
©2018 Chris Bohjalian (P)2018 Random House AudioCe que les critiques en disent
"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)

Enjoyed it but..
as a flight attendant I was impressed with the author's research into the lifestyle of flight attendants. Alcoholism and loneliness are real issues that flight attendants face, there are many Cassies out there living like that. I enjoyed the story and was mostly disappointed with the endings. Everything came out of nowhere. The 11 hr novel was wrapped up in like 11 minutes. The narrators were good, especially Cassie's.

Very meh.
As narrators, one (Cassie character) was ok, but the other (Elena) had a tone that I found very grating throughout the book.
The novel was ok in general- I didn’t mind the slower pace but it was a bit repetitive, and then the ending felt super rushed while also dumping a TON of new information on you. Found the ending rather unsatisfying.

Struggled to get through this story
Spoiler Alert. It was hard to have any sympathy for the protagonist who repeated got herself in stupid and dangerous situations. The only character development was the female assassins, who isn’t even the main character.
Then it ends with the man who is about to kill her, becoming a work pal that she still flirts with.
This book was boring and unbelievable, beyond suspending realism for the sake of a good story.

ehh not that great
Story was lacking and kinda repetitive. The main character was hard to relate to as she made so many stupid decisions. 2nd narrator was awful and idk if it's just me but I really don't care about russia that much.
