The Last Flight
Julie Clark
2020 · Thriller
How it reads
The Last Flight is thriller (domestic thriller, specifically), and its dominant mood is tense. The suspense is the kind you feel in your shoulders. It moves fast: plot-driven and hard to put down, the kind of book that carries you along even when you're tired.
It's set in several locations, in the present day, told in the third person across several viewpoints. Its central concerns are identity, survival and secrets. In weight it's light and escapist — easy to fall into.
It stands alone, so there's nothing else you need to read first or after. The ending resolves happily. It's well known, the kind of book most keen readers have heard of.
