A freebie crime novel and I got it although I had doubts. I don’t enjoy run-of-the-mill domestic suspense novels.  This isn’t much different.  

The Last Flight
 by Julie Clark
2020 
Read by Khristine Hvam & Lauren Fortgang 9h 23m
Rating  C-/ crime-thriller 

Claire and Eva first meet at an airport as they are each attempting to leave their horrifically disastrous personal situations.  Claire is leaving her rich but overly dominating husband (that’s minimizing it), And we don’t know much about Eva because she lies, but it’s obvious she’s getting away from something very bad – ugly  Both women have to leave very stealthily so as to successfully disappear.  

They switch purses and papers and get on each other’s flight with the goal of swapping lives. But then Claire finds out that her plane to Puerto Rico crashed into the ocean so that’s apparently where Eve is (with Claire’s ID papers. But she goes on with her plans although she’s nervous about authorities finding Eva with Claire’s paperwork. Meanwhile, Eve, complete with Claire’s papers, has managed to avoid boarding and goes her own way. Then we find out what Eva was running from as well as what Claire’s is really afraid of.  It gets intense and towards the end it’s confusing in addition to being rather contrived.

What a.waste of time – (but no money lost).  I was quite curious to see how it turned out so I finished.
