I have to admit that I’m not a connoisseur of Crazy Lady Thrillers. This Flight Attendant was pretty good although the ending was a little meh. But the FBI’s noose is getting tighter and Cassie has also attracted the attention of the Russian mob because young Alex wasn’t quite what he appeared to be. She goes to bars, hooks up with another strange man and lies to the FBI. But this is no ordinary waiting game because it involves the train wreck that is Cassie. Now it’s a waiting game because Cassie knows the authorities will catch up with her. So she tampers with the evidence, hangs the Do Not Disturb sign on the door and hightails it back to New York. However, one thing is very clear to her – she does not want to be a woman being tried for murder in a middle eastern country. When she wakes up the next morning next to a very dead Alex, she struggles to recall what happened the previous night, but there are big gaps in her memory. They go out for a nice meal and then go back to Alex’s hotel room where they proceed to get so hammered that Cassie blacks out. She’s enough of a loose cannon that she keeps the reader a little off kilter, which is a characteristic of this genre.Ĭassie meets a younger hedge fund manager, Alex, on a flight to Dubai.
She’s an aging, promiscuous binge drinker who also lies a lot and engages in occasional petty theft. The Flight Attendant is a recent addition to a genre that I’ve dubbed the Crazy Lady Thriller (thnk Gone Girl, T he Woman in the Window, The Woman in Cabin 10 and just about every other recent thriller with Girl or Woman in the title). She can’t remember what happened the night before and, even worse, she’s kind of wondering if she killed the guy. She’s just woken up in a Dubai hotel room to find her one night stand with his throat slashed. Cassie Bowden, aka the flight attendant, is in deep trouble.
