I found the description of this book very intriguing but unfortunately the book itself was not.

While there was nothing essentially wrong with the book, it was slow & I felt like I was waiting for something to happen but every time that something did happen, it was very anticlimactic, There was no big twist, no dramatic event. It just plodded along through Nora / Tanya / Amelia / Sonia's life

I really loved this book! I'm hoping this becomes a series.

The characters are so different than the type she usually writes and that makes this book even better. I was expecting something totally different and was completely surprised and thrilled with the darkness and mystery in this.

Couldn't recommend this more strongly!

The passenger by Lisa Lutz is a mystery and thriller read.
In case you were wondering, I didn’t do it. I didn’t have anything to do with Frank’s death. I don’t have an alibi, so you’ll have to take my word for it...
Forty-eight hours after leaving her husband’s body at the base of the stairs, Tanya Dubois cashes in her credit cards, dyes her hair brown, demands a new name from a shadowy voice over the phone, and flees town. It’s not the first time.
She meets Blue, a female bartender who recognizes the hunted look in a fugitive’s eyes and offers her a place to stay. With dwindling choices, Tanya-now-Amelia accepts. An uneasy―and dangerous―alliance is born.
It’s almost impossible to live off the grid today, but Amelia-now-Debra and Blue have the courage, the ingenuity, and the desperation, to try. Hopscotching from city to city, Debra especially is chased by a very dark secret…can she outrun her past?
This was a really enjoyable read with great characters. I wasn't sure about Tanya but I had to keep reading to find out how and why and if the truth will come out. Highly recommended. 5*. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book from netgalley.

Wow! Could not stop reading this one! Blue certainly was not a woman to be messed with, in a Dexter Harris type of way! Great read!

A very quirky mystery that I did not see coming! Suspenseful and enjoyable.
