A review by happy_hiker
The Front Seat Passenger by Pascal Garnier, Jane Aitken

2.0

I was stuck without a book and was able to check this out from the library and read it on my phone. I had read a good review about the book and it was short, so I gave it a try. I read the first 1/2 of the book on my phone and the remainder on my ipad, as it made for easier reading.

About the book - it was easy to read, and there were some wonderful turns of phrase. I thought the story had a decent build up and I was not as enthralled by the last 1/3 of the book and was a bit disappointed at the end.

Spoiler

The last book I read was about a woman being held hostage and as that book was longer, there was a lot more character development - Martine may have been mentally ill because she killed Madeleine and the elderly couple, but I didn't see that coming. And in the end, it just ended with a thud -- Fabien tells authorities that Martine killed some people and held me hostage and Martine agrees to his version of events. The end.
