Hard-drinking flight attendant wakes up next to a murdered man. The
professionals who "hit" the man decide the Flight Attendant knows too
much. Espionage and skulduggery ensues.
It's a timeworn plot, but Bohjalian writes it well. She also adds some dimension to the character of the Flight Attendant by detailing her addictive history with alcohol (taking Sarah Hepola's book, Blackout: Remembering the Things I Drank to Forget, as a guide to the condition).
Glad I read it--Bohjalian writes crisply and engagingly--but I probably wouldn't re-read it. I might check out another of her books, if I'm in the mood for a thriller.
