Could not stop listening. Got through two seasons in two days. Very gripping!
Some of my criticisms are that Caitlyn can be difficult to root for because of her headstrong personality (but that also makes her such a BAMF), and that the last episode of season 2 was quite rushed and the pacing felt off. Other than that - wow. Great alternative to watching a random nerflix show.

Well this was a thrill a minute kind of book! No chance to catch your breath between twists and the action just never stops. I have been reading a lot of plane based stories recently and I am thankful that I have no trips happening in the near future as they are all involving crashes.
Kaitlin li refuses to believe her twin brother Conor is dead. He was on Atlantic Airlines flight 702 that disappeared without a trace mid air. No wreckage has been found but all passengers and crew have been declared dead. But she would know if her own twin had died and she is determined to find out what really happened. She puts her life in danger, talking to other family members of those who were on board. Is it a government cover up? How high doesn’t it go? there are plenty of theories going around.
This was a quick and exciting read. Thanks to Orion and NetGalley for my advanced copy of this book to read.

I am a huge fan of disaster based thrillers and mysteries, particularly those featuring a hijacked or missing plane. So when I saw this book, it absolutely screamed my name. This is the third plane-based thriller I have read this month (but only the second I’ve reviewed so far on the blog) but it’s slightly different in its approach to the first two, both of which involved a hijacking. Passenger List is more of a fast-paced mystery. I was swept up into Kaitlin Le’s story and oh boy, it was one heck of a ride!
Kaitlin Le refuses to acknowledge the presumed death of her twin brother, Conor. Conor was a passenger on Atlantic Airlines Flight 702 which disappeared during a scheduled flight from London to New York. She’s his twin, surely she would know if he had perished. But with the authorities sticking to one story, Kaitlin has a battle on her hands. Turning her back on her education and her place at Vassar, partly funded by her roommate, Amelia, Kaitlin heads to New York to dig deeper into what happened to flight 702 and ultimately, to find Conor. No matter what it takes…
Kaitlin Le is one tenacious and persistent woman! Where others would have walked away for fear of their life, Kaitlin refuses to give up. I loved her drive. It made for an exciting and thrilling read. She’s pretty reckless at times and gets herself into some terrifying scrapes but she keeps going. Ably assisted by a small group of fascinating characters (an investigative journalist, an ex-FBI agent, an ambulance-chasing lawyer) all of whom help move the story along and add something interesting to the tale.
On analysing the passenger list and digging a little deeper, Kaitlin is able to come up with several possible reasons as to why the flight changed course and vanished. I liked the variety this gave the story. Leads had to be investigated, the truth uncovered (as much as possible) before Kaitlin could decide whether it was worth taking her idea forward. There were a couple of points in the book where I felt things got a little far-fetched but it didn’t spoil my enjoyment of the story at all.
Would I recommend this book? I would, yes. After reading several plane-based thrillers of late Passenger List‘s different approach made a thoroughly enjoyable change. I found the book easy to read and hard to put down, so much so that I sped through it in a little over 24 hours. A gripping, thrilling read which I heartily recommend to fans of plot-driven mysteries. Just don’t blame me if you never step foot on a plane again! Recommended. (And if you’re a fan of podcasts I believe there’s an accompanying series which you can listen to via the author’s website or your favourite podcast outlet.)

This book is brilliant an edge of your seat read. When flight 702 goes missing and her twin brother was aboard katlin knows he hasn't died and decides to investigate. The twists in this tale is so amazing it almost feels like your never going to work out what has happened. Its in no way predictable and I just loved it. The flow of the book was amazing. It was a joy to read this book much praise for this book and thank you to the author for writing this story I look forward to reading more by this author.

Interesting story, shame about the voice! From now on, I shall listen to the sample audio first! Unfortunately, the narrator's voice was so distractingly annoying that I couldn't immerse myself in the story, hence the 3* rating.
