The Passenger (audio)

Forty-eight hours after leaving her husband’s body at the base of the stairs, Tanya Dubois cashes in her credit cards, dyes her hair brown, demands a new name from a shadowy voice over the phone, and flees town. It’s not the first time.

She meets Blue, a female bartender who recognizes the hunted look in a fugitive’s eyes and offers her a place to stay. With dwindling choices, Tanya-now-Amelia accepts. An uneasy―and dangerous―alliance is born.

It’s almost impossible to live off the grid today, but Amelia-now-Debra and Blue have the courage, the ingenuity, and the desperation, to try. Hopscotching from city to city, Debra especially is chased by a very dark secret . . . can she outrun her past?

With heart-stopping escapes and devious deceptions, The Passenger is an amazing psychological thriller about defining yourself while you pursue your path to survival. One thing is certain: the ride will leave you breathless.

Right off you know that Tanya has a past that she is running from when she needs to run again. This time she needs help and makes cryptic call for help. She gets that she thinks/hopes is an identity that will last for awhile. But shortly after meeting a kindred soul her life is threatened and she has to run again, but what happens is a twist that she never saw coming. Woven into her story are letters that tell a story, but we a left wondering what it all means.  Her past comes for a reckoning and we learn the truth. Madeleine Maby narrated the book that kept me listening wondering if this character was believable, but wanting to know what happened to her.

I've heard of it and have it on my look-for list for the library whenever, but it sounds a bit complicated. Wonder if reading it in print would've helped with that.
