THE FLIGHT ATTENDANT

Erin Spencer is the main narrator for this psychological thriller focusing on an alcoholic flight attendant, Cassie Bowden, who makes poor choices in life. After her latest one-night stand, she gets pulled unknowingly into a world of espionage. Spencer does an admirable job with Cassie's character, while Grace Experience narrates scenes involving a woman on Cassie's trail. Mark Deakins brings gravitas to his limited but effective reading of FBI transcripts. It's not clear why Experience is used here as a second narrator, as Spencer could have handled the load herself. Despite a rushed ending, the interesting plot moves effectively, with Spencer transitioning smoothly between the characters in Cassie's world--family, friends, colleagues, her lawyer, and others.
