About this listen

One passenger. One night. One road trip. One suspected serial killer behind the wheel....

Casey Jordan is being driven across the country by a serial killer. Maybe.

Behind the wheel is Josh Baxter, a stranger Casey met by the college ride-share board, who also has a good reason for leaving university in the middle of term. On the road, they share their stories, carefully avoiding the subject dominating the news - the Campus Killer, who's tied up and stabbed three students in the span of a year, has just struck again.

Travelling the lengthy journey between university and their final destination, Casey begins to notice discrepancies in Josh's story.

As she begins to plan her escape from the man she is becoming certain is the killer, she starts to suspect that Josh knows exactly what she's thinking.

Meaning that she could very well end up as his next victim.

A game of cat and mouse is about to play out. In order to win, Casey must do only one thing...survive the night.

Critic Reviews

"Noir at its best! This one-sitting-read of a thriller will grab you in the opening pages and simply not let go until the very (and very shocking) end. Author Sager is a master of creating both psychological suspense and richly drawn characters, both good, bad and somewhere in the middle. Bravo!" (Jeffery Deaver, author of The Final Twist)

"Riley Sager's premise is bone-chilling - what if you caught a ride from a guy who could be a serial killer? - and his writing is propulsive and gripping. Woven throughout is a clever nod to classic movies, which adds to the intricate architecture of this absolutely terrific book." (Sarah Pekkanen, number one New York Times best-selling coauthor of You Are Not Alone)

"One of the most addictive thrillers I've read this year. A compulsive page-turner with high stakes and a heroine you find yourself absolutely rooting for." (Gytha Lodge)

I mean it wasn’t bad, story was a little of a drag on for me. I loved the twists though, always been me questioning everything but I honestly wished the storyline was better

Ok book

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
At the start I really enjoyed the intense of the two main characters I loved the cat and mouse game but got infuriated when the hero has so many chances to get away and cause if there own fault they don’t, I did not like the feminist theme that came on halfway through and hated how the character spend the first half trying to get away then randomly changed there mind and decided to not try to escape

Intense at stages

Satisfaction

There are alot of bad reviews fir this book and part of me gets why they disliked it so much.

The disappearing into a movie aspects could get frustrating.

I liked the performance, liked the fact the main character had a mental illness.

The serial killer ending could have been slightly better.

And I liked the last chapter wrap up.

So overall 2.5 for me.

interesting
