OutsmartYourShelf
Airframe: A Novel | Michael Crichton
post image
Mehso-so

Forty-something single mother, Casey Singleton, works at Norton Aircraft & when a report comes in of an issue with flight TPA 545, Casey is on the team asked to investigate. An initial contact with the pilot has him blaming turbulence but this isn't backed up by external evidence, & the flight crew are suddenly whisked away before Casey has a chance to conduct interviews. (continued)

OutsmartYourShelf When the team finally enters the fuselage it is obvious that something strange happened aboard the flight leaving two people dead & several others badly injured. Just what is being covered up, by who, & why?

There was a lot of technical jargon & many acronyms in this book but it was still surprisingly interesting to read. Most of the narrative is from Casey's point of view, although a little later in the book we get several chapters from a local

OutsmartYourShelf reporter's viewpoint. The technology (faxes, beepers, etc) are like going back to the stone age now & I would have guessed 1980s as a publishing date, yet it was released in 1996. It's not action-packed but it's a decent thriller for its age.

3.25⭐- it was above average.

My usual trio: an audiobook, a middle grade book and a bedtime book (which happens to be my #doublespin and #authoramonth book!)

Nonfiction - published in 2011. Candace Fleming‘s exploration of the infamous Amelia Earhart — her extraordinary accomplishments, doomed final flight, and modern legacy — proves to readers that history can be as thrilling as fantasy, as suspenseful as mystery, and as interesting as the best of fiction.
