A flight to New York with one hundred forty-three passengers aboard has just taken off. What these people don't know is that, thirty minutes before their flight, the pilot's family was kidnapped.
If the pilot wants his family to live, he must crash the plane and kill everyone on board.

This fast-paced thrill ride was just what I needed to take my mind off my worries. There was never any doubt in my mind that the pilot and crew would save the day, and this freedom allowed me to put my little gray cells to work on figuring out how they would succeed with minimal casualties.
I learned a bit about the world of flight attendants, I enjoyed cheering on the good guys, and I loved how the bad guys were thwarted. All in all, a fun read that makes me want to read Newman's next book.

This certainly sounds high-octane, Cathy! And a thriller that can also make me care about the characters is all that much better. Of course, I may not feel so comfortable next time I have to fly somewhere...
ReplyDeleteYes, this book may not be for those readers who don't like to fly!
DeleteMy brother gave me a copy of this one a few weeks ago but I haven't read it yet. Glad to see that you enjoyed it even though I can't really work it in right now. Definitely one to come back to.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to reading her second book.
DeleteI enjoyed her book, Drowning, and really want to read this one now.
ReplyDeleteWhereas, I'm looking forward to reading Drowning!
DeleteWell, that is certainly an intriguing beginning! Glad you enjoyed this one and that it provided some distraction from worries. It's one of the benefits relished by us constant readers!
ReplyDeleteIt most certainly is!
DeleteI've seen Drowning at the library, but the timing hasn't been right to pick it up. I'll be on the lookout for Falling also, for a fun thriller read.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I'm in the perfect mood for a fun thriller. This was one of them, and I chose the right one. :-)
DeleteI had been putting this off because of a flight, but now that is past, I should read it before I make any other vacation plans!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good idea!
