Welcome to Litsy!

Last book of hers I‘ll read… they‘re a little too wordy and don‘t get to the point

A book full of distinctly unlikeable characters. I mainly persevered due to all the references to London transport, which I enjoyed trying to visualise.... The main guy was just horrible and the younger woman was awful. I didn't care what happened to him.Im not sure who the target audience is for this story; I didn't have an 'ah-ha' moment & was desperately hoping for a love story somewhere. Was the author an estate agent and victim of an affair?

OMG! Boring! 💤💤 Had to bail.

Let‘s give this one a try. 🤞🏼

I‘m a newcomer to Louise Candlish novels. She‘s an excellent thriller writer all based in middle class London. The other passenger is one of her best. Smart and well written. Keeps you guessing to the end which is all I need. Im back to work tomorrow so I hope I can continue to keep up and play #alphabetgame.

This started off slow, but really picked up about half-way through, then again with about a quarter of the book left. The second half pulled me in more, and there were some good twists! I don‘t think any of the characters were particularly likeable, though. The book opens with Kit‘s disappearance, then backs up as Jamie tells his story. That first half (while it‘s still a bit slow), is mostly snippets of each month leading up to Christmas

Really enjoyed this, but wasn‘t a huge fan of the ending. Will definitely be reading more by Louise Candlish.

Oops - arrived in town too early for my appointment, with half an hour to kill. So somehow this happened...

Wow! So many twists and turns, it got quite intense!
None of the characters are likeable and I think that made interesting reading.
Not sure I'd be inclined to read any of her others but pleased I read this.

Finished this up while supper was in the oven. It was between so-so and pick for me. The last few pages pushed it up over the fence to pick. But I dislike every damn character in this book! 😂🤣 They are all just horrible people. It‘s been a bit since I was rooting for everyone to lose. 😆

Another book club read, again, not one I'd choose but that's one of the many reasons I attend so many clubs!
This gets good reviews from Litsy and from other sites so here I go...😆😉

Louise Candlish writes the best nasty characters! They‘re truly awful and make this great reading. A light, thrilling page turner! The dog also approves! 😀

Ah . . . Friday night has finally arrived! I can get comfy with 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗢𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 by 𝗟𝗼𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵 on my recently refurbished deck. A light breeze is wafting through the oak trees & I am going to enjoy it for a couple of hours & immerse myself in this thriller.⁣

Atria [partner] Happy pub day to The Other Passenger! This is a character driven thriller that has quite a few good twists up it‘s sleeves! It did get a little slow at times, but the last third of the book was very fun indeed! A slow burn, but still a good read!

This started off slow, but really picked up about half-way through, then again with about a quarter of the book left. Because of the slow start, I wasn‘t sure I‘d rate it as highly as I did, but the second half pulled me in more, and there were some good twists! I don‘t think any of the characters were particularly likeable. That first half (while it‘s still a bit slow), is mostly snippets of each month leading up to Christmas. coming...

The first half seemed like a basic infidelity storyline.
The second half of the book, revelations come fast and swift, changing what we thought we knew about Kit, Jamie and Melia. Poor Clare, she seems to be an innocent bystander in the whole drama. I was a little shocked, as the information came pouring out. I do enjoy a twist at the end.

I received a free copy from NetGalley and the publisher in exchange for my honest review.

I really enjoyed this dark and witty thriller. Two couples strike up a friendship; one couple in their 40s the other are 20s. The generational banter and gripes were so well written and enjoyable. The plot is different and twisty and turny. Who are the bad guys?? Very enjoyable. The perfect palate cleanser. #99ponkindle

Thank you, @atriabooks @simonandschuster

This was my #bookspin for March. Giving it a pick here even though I restricted it to 3 stars over on Goodreads. Very well written thriller with great characters but a bit too over the top for me. It didn‘t help that I could see the huge plot twist coming a mile off (which is fine, and I wasn‘t completely right about it) but maybe I‘ve read enough of Louise Candlish‘s books for now!

My first Louise Candlish book and it won‘t be my last. Loved the twists and turns in this book and enjoyed turning each page to see what would happen next.

I do enjoy her writing style but I have learnt after 3 books that these are not feel good books. A slightly better outcome than the last book I read. I gave it a 4/5.

Thanks to #netgalley for the ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review. The plot revolves around a small group of commuters who become friends. What would cause someone to kill a fellow commuter they had become commuting buddies with. spellbinding and twisted plot that will keep you wondering just what has happened and who knows what until the very end. Another great read from Louise Candlish that did not disappoint.Booksleeve from #bookbesties

Another great book by Louise cavendish. Two couples become friends. Jamie and kit share the morning commute together and Melia and Clare work for the same company but how honest is the friendship. There are so many twists and turns in this book just as I thought I had it so it twisted again. Highly recommend this book
