Synopsis – No Passengers (from Amazon)
Twenty hours to disappear. One mistake could be fatal.
Anastasia Pestova is a quiet teller at the Bank of Moscow, in a city that doesn’t notice if she breathes. But when millions of rubles vanish through her terminal, she is suddenly the centre of a money laundering conspiracy.
A frantic tip-off offers a harrowing lifeline. But to take it, Anastasia must shed her identity and slip through a dragnet of watchful eyes.
With authorities watching the gates and her passport flagged at every checkpoint, she has less than twenty hours to do the impossible. One mistake, and it will be her last. And even if she succeeds, her ordeal is only beginning.
An 18,000-word escape on-the-run thriller, designed to be devoured in one sitting.
My Review
NO PASSENGERS: A Fast Paced Fugitive Thriller Novella by Elainie La Force
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This novella held my interest from start to finish. I was just thinking that I’d like to know more about Anna when I read the author’s note. I now know that Anna’s full story is coming. I look forward to reading that novel soon. This worked very well as a prequel because it is a complete story in itself but still left me ready to read more.
Though this was more of an action story than a true psychological thriller I definitely felt lots of connection with Anna in a short space of time. I felt anger for the person who betrayed her and sympathy for what she was leaving behind.
This is a great quick read and it’s perfect for “read Caribbean” initiatives since the author grew up in St Lucia.
Overall, I’m so glad I read this and I can’t wait to learn more about Anna’s story.
4.5 stars rounded up.
