About this audiobook

Jake Buchanan is a successful writer with an eight-year-old daughter and an imploding marriage. This flight will take them somewhere they never expected to go Jack Buchanan knows the woman sitting next to him on his business flight to Denver?he just can't figure out how he knows her. Clara Stowe isn't in Jake's line of work and didn't go to college with him. They have nearly nothing in common apart from a deep and shared certainty that they've met before. As their airplane conversation deepens, both struggle to figure out what circumstances could have possibly brought them together. Then, in a revelation that sends Jake reeling, Clara admits she's traveling to the Colorado mountains to kill herself, and she disappears into the crowded airport immediately after landing. The Dead Girl in 2A is the story of what happens to Jake and Clara after they get off that plane, and the manipulative figure who has brought them together decades after they first met. Intensely creepy, beautifully written, and full of Carter Wilson's signature whom-can-you-trust paranoia, this is a psychological thriller unlike any you've read before.

    The entire time I read THE DEAD GIRL IN 2A I was seeing it as a movie. The opening scene would be on an airplane, row 2. There, Jake and Clara would meet by chance. Or is it by chance? They each think they recognize the other; they must have met before but do not remember where or when. Turns out both have issues with their lost memories. Clara tells Jake she plans to kill herself. After they deplane in Denver, they each go their separate ways, but you know they’ll meet again.The remaining scenes would mostly be lovely, with the mountains as a backdrop. This is where Clara and Jake find and face their memories. But there are men from long ago, a past neither remembers, who want those memories.I even have a picture of Jake in my mind. He looks just like Carter Wilson, the author of THE DEAD GIRL IN 2A. Clara would be someone a little too thin, which could be almost any actress in Hollywood.Although I see this book as a movie, maybe a limited series on one of the television networks would work better. Someone really should pick it up as one or the other.

    On a flight to Denver, Jake Buchanan strikes up a conversation with his seatmate, Clara Stowe. Although they’re strangers, both are certain they’ve met before. But they can’t identify any shared moments and, as they continue their conversation, Clara tells Jake she’s heading for Aspen and the Maroon Bells where she intends to kill herself. And when the plane lands, Clara’s swallowed up in the airport crowd and she disappears.Well-drawn characters and an intriguing plot . . . filled with both complications and unexpected twists . . . combine to create palpable suspense. But manipulation and memories are at the heart of this suspenseful narrative; tension builds as the well-written story, told alternately by Jake and Clara, pulls readers into the telling of the tale. Paranoia defines this creepy story that readers will find difficult to set aside before turning the final page.Recommended.
