The Passenger
(Disambiguation The Passenger)
Wasn’t going to mention much, but then….
“I got a paper cut rushing to unzip the seal with my index finger. A small dot of blood landed on my new birth certificate. Amelia Keen, born 3:32 a.m. on November 3, 1986, to George Arthur Keen and Marianne Louise Keen at Providence Hospital in Tacoma, Washington. A Scorpio. Powerful, magnetic, jealous, possessive, compulsive. My mother used to read charts obsessively. I never bought into it, mostly because I was a Pisces, which always sounded a lot like a jellyfish without the sting. But looking back, maybe that’s exactly what I was.” Page 15.
You’re in my arena, now. Odd, as I chased up the last book, the dual text, or dueling texts? One spurious author search turned up a poet who was also into astrology charts, provenance unknown.
Variations on a theme, and I think the “switched at birth,” or doubling of characters, not really a new concept; however, ripping good yarn, and well-executed. The rat-bastard deserved that. Suspense thriller, I think.
Good book: fun.
