The Flight Attendant

This is a hard book to review because I do like the author's writing but I'm having a hard time with the main character, Cassie Bowden. She is extremely unlikeable and stupid. She is a flight attendant with an bad alcohol problem who blacks out and goes to bed with a man she just met on her last flight. How stupid is that? She wakes up next morning and the man is dead next to her and she has no idea what happened to him. The book started out very interesting and then dramatically slows down as Cassie is still drinking and doing all kinds of stupid things. I read to the end just to see what happens with Cassie and the ending was so unbelievable and very rushed. This is my first Chris Bohjalian book but I will check out some of his other books as I know they have got to be better than this one. Sorry but I would not even recommend this one to my enemy.
