Excellent! It's written in a hard-boiled, in-your-face style that I really liked. Hooks you from the first line, then moves forward at a pace that never lets up.
Tanya Dubois find her husband of seven years, Frank, dead at the bottom of the stairs.
She tells us that she didn't do it, but she doesn't want to hang around being asked questions nor the police digging into her past.
So, she goes on the run. It isn't the first time.
Leaving Wisconsin, Tanya first ends up in Austin, Texas where a bartender named Blue befriends her. Blue recognizes a fugitive when she sees one. It will prove to be a dangerous alliance.
Being in trouble herself, Blue switches identities with Tanya...it's not the first time...for either of them.
Bad things happen and then they're both separately on move.
Tanya travels countless miles and changes identities often to put distance from her past.
There's many narrow, pulse-pounding escapes and tight situations along the way as we begin to learn about "Tanya's" history.
The story delves into the psychological toll and sheer exhaustion it takes to be on the run. The constant looking over your shoulder. Searching for new aliases. Finding money, resources, food and shelter.
When I found out the truth about "The Passenger" I was angry and relieved. In the best way!
It's so good.

Slow paced novel!
The Passenger by Lisa Lutz is a suspense novel. Tanya came downstairs after her shower and found her husband, Frank dead. She contemplated about burying the body, but there is no way she can do it herself (very practical). So she gathers up some cash and takes off (do you think she has something to hide). She changes vehicles, changes her hair color, and then gets a new identity. She ends up in Austin, Texas and meets Blue (for her eyes) at May's Well (a bar). Blue recognizes Tanya (now Amelia) as someone on the run. When two goons try to take off with Tanya/Amelia (starts to get confusing after a while as she keeps changing identities), Blue helps out. After several unsuccessful attempts to get a new identity, Blue has an idea. Both women end up with new identities and a chance to start over. But the past always manages to catch up with you. Eventually, you have to face it (you cannot run forever).
The Passenger is listed as fast paced, but I did not find it very speedy (I have two week old kittens that move faster). To me it was a long drawn out book where I kept waiting for my questions to be answered (and after a while I did not care). The Passenger is Tanya's story of her running, hiding, and finding new identities. The Passenger is just the telling of a story and teller decided to draw it out. The Passenger gets better towards the end (if you make it that far). I give The Passenger 2 out of 5 stars. The basic concept of the book was good, but I did not like the final product (if you need something to help you sleep, then you have found the right book). The Passenger contains extreme violence and foul language (and large quantities of alcohol).
I received a complimentary copy of The Passenger in exchange for an honest review of the book.
