Book Synopsis

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A powerful thriller 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. • Don't miss the acclaimed HBO Max series!

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 forty thousand 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.

Look for Chris Bohjalian's new novel, The Lioness!

    This is a real sit up late and read book. Different to the very end. Be sure to read the epilogue.

    I don’t know what I was expecting but this was really really slow reading. I’m giving it two stars because I felt like I had to finish it but it took me forever. I do not recommend.

    Wish I had read the reviews before wasting my time with this book. I can’t even bring myself to finish it. It seemed exciting but is honestly so so so slow and 90% of it just talks about how much the main character likes to drink. She is also so dumb, I want to strangle her. The Russian side plot is also kind of confusing and seems unnecessary, but I didn’t actually finish it so who knows? All I can say is do yourself a favor and don’t waste your time.
  • Another lazy book about a drunk woman

    Possibly the worst book I’ve ever read. I cannot possibly even force myself to read the last 50 pages. It’s puzzling to me how a publisher even agreed to put this in print it’s so boring and SLOW. Ok, we get that the main character likes to drink...how many times do you have to describe it...and absolutely no twists or turns. Within the first few pages you learn what happened - ok, unless I had to bear through all of this for the last few pages which I simply cannot get through.
