7.15.2021 - The Other Passenger

 The Other Passenger by Louise Candlish

Many thanks to NetGalley and Atria Publishing for gifting me a digital ARC of the latest thriller by Louise Candlish - 5 stars - her books keep getting better!

Jamie takes the riverboat to his job as a barista at a coffee shop in London along with a group of friends who have dubbed themselves the "river rats."  But on the morning of December 27, 2019, Jamie's friend Kit doesn't get on board and his wife, Melia, reports him missing.  Soon the police are at the coffee shop questioning Jamie - another passenger on the boat saw him arguing with Kit the Friday before and Jamie is the last one to see him alive.

The less you know going into this book, the better.  The story is told over a short period of time but as Jamie talks to police, the story goes back in time to fill in all the blanks.  This is the ultimate cat-and-mouse story and the twists had me glued to the pages - I never saw them coming!  Highly recommended!
