This is one of those thrillers that, for me, worked while I was reading it, but fell apart a bit after I had time to think about it. You know there are going to be twists and turns and surprises, partly because of the comparisons to Girl on the Train and to Gone Girl, and partly because you have to go a long way into the book to find out who the main character really is, and what she's hiding. In The Passenger, though (as in The Girl on the Train to some extent) the big reveal at the end is a bit of a let-down; with all the heavy killers stalking the main characters, you would have thought she had more to hide. And that the real villains might be a bit more villainous. The first two-thirds of the book are a good romp, and Blue is a great character.
