THE LAST FLIGHT is a tautly plotted thriller that I wanted to read from the moment I heard Julie Clark tell me about it back in January at a publisher preview event. And it completely delivered.

A chance meeting at an airport bar brings Claire, who desperately wants to leave her abusive marriage, into contact with Eva, who also wants to run from something in her life. Together they make a last-minute decision to switch tickets --- Claire taking Eva's flight to Oakland, and Eva traveling to Puerto Rico as Claire. They think this swap will give each of them a chance to start over. But when the flight to Puerto Rico crashes with no survivors, Claire realizes that she has been thrust into a very different scenario than she planned. On her own, reading of her assumed death, Claire picks up the pieces of Eva’s life completely unaware of what Eva was running from.

This book is so well written and action-packed. I already want to read what Julie writes next!
