GoodReads Monday

This weekly meme was started by @Lauren’s Page Turners. It is now being hosted by Budget Tales Book Blog. To participate, choose a random book from your GoodReads TBR and show it off. Which sounds easy enough until you have to decide how to choose that book! I think I will use a different way each week, like picking a color or number of pages. I will let you know each week how I chose the book and then something interesting about it, like how it ended up on the list or why I want to read it. Got it? Okay let’s get started.

Hello and happy Monday to you all. This week’s pick will be starting with the letter ‘O’ and I have decided on an older title, well three years old anyways, that is a mystery thriller that sounds really good. I added it to my list in 2021, so at this point I really don’t remember where I first heard about it. But it still sounds good, so it is still there and I am looking forward to maybe one day picking it up.

The Other Passenger by Louise Candlish

Publication Date: June 2020

Summary from Goodreads:

It all happens so quickly. One day you’re living the dream, commuting to work by ferry with your charismatic neighbor Kit in the seat beside you. The next, Kit hasn’t turned up for the boat and his wife, Melia, has reported him missing.

When you get off at your stop, the police are waiting. Another passenger saw you and Kit arguing on the boat home the night before and the police say that you had a reason to want him dead. You protest. You and Kit are friends—ask Melia, she’ll vouch for you. And who exactly is this other passenger pointing the finger? What do they know about your lives?

No, whatever danger followed you home last night, you are innocent, totally innocent.

Aren’t you?

Doesn’t that sound interesting? I am glad I found it on my list again. Sometimes I wonder why I keep my Want to Read list, other than to do this post. But then I find a little gem like this one and I think, yeah that’s why. My local library does have a copy, so I just might pick it up when I have gotten through my current stack.
