If you are looking for a quick and fast paced suspenseful thriller, this is it. I really enjoyed this one and would have finished in a day or two if life didn’t get in the way. While reading Falling, it felt like it would make for a great movie so I was glad to see its already in the works. Ready to read her next book Drowning.

A pilot is forced to make a choice between saving his wife and children or the plane full of passengers he is flying from LA to New York. While it was at times very cliche and I guessed that the author was new to the “published” roster, I was entertained while reading. Not sure I will read anything else from her, but I would watch this one as a movie. Maybe Idris Elba could play Bill.
