Claire Cook is desperate. Her perfect life is all an illusion. Her wealthy husband is on the verge of political stardom, but nobody but Claire knows how he treats her behind closed doors. Thanks to an old childhood friend, Claire has found a way to escape. She has planned every little detail and is just hours away from being free. Until her husband changes her itinerary at the last moment. Now she not only will not only be able to escape, but her husband is going to find out her plans. She will never be able to escape. Until an unexpected encounter in a hotel bar gives her hope for her future. She trades places with that stranger. Instead of going to Puerto Rico, she gets on the plane for Oakland as a woman named Eva. Claire thinks that she has earned her freedom when she lands in Oakland to find out that the plane to Puerto Rico crashed - with no survivors. It doesn't take long for Claire to discover that Eva had her own reasons for wanting to disappear. Will Claire ever be able to find the peace that she is so desperately seeking?
The Last Flight was a really good thriller. Both Claire and Eva were likable women in tough situations and were willing to do anything to get out of their situations. I loved how clearly Claire thought out the details of her escape. From her time at the gym to her clever way of keeping tabs on Rory, I loved the way she was constantly trying to stay ahead. The one minor detail that annoyed me was the way she handled Rory's emails. As if there wasn't a way to "Mark Unread" in Gmail. Because there is a way to make it happen. I am really pleased with the way things ended. Claire stopped running. - CLICK HERE FOR SPOILERS.
Bottom Line - The Last Flight has been getting a lot of buzz this summer and for good reasons. Smart characters and an interesting plot, mixed with crazy twists, make for a great summer read.
