Have you ever considered the lengths you would need to go to disappear and become someone new? Lutz has apparently given it a lot of consideration and it turns out it is no easy task.
“The Passenger” opens with Tanya Pitts deciding to go on the run when she finds her husband dead in their home after a fall down the stairs. Why run when it was an accident? The reasons are revealed slowly as Tanya morphs from one identity to another, moves from one location to another. The anxiety ramps up with each identity she has to shed, and the complex machinations she much go through to get her next name and just enough credible paperwork to get a job so maybe, someday, she can stop looking over her shoulder.
But chaos is her constant companion, often brought on by the few people from which she attempts to get help. It is slightly madcap chaos, though, at breakneck speed. If the resolution is almost too pat it was more than enough fun getting there. Recommended for when you are in need of a page-turner featuring a tough, resourceful heroine.
Happy reading!
