Let this book take you Hostage

In case you missed it, I have just released A Fateful Plateful, book #16 in the Auntie Clem’s Bakery culinary cozy mystery series. It can be read as a stand alone mystery, or together with the rest of the series for even more enjoyment. You can start the journey with book #1, Gluten-Free Murder.

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme. Read the rules and more teasers at The Purple Booker. Anyone can play along.

This week I am reading Hostage, a novel by Clare Mackintosh. Lots of interesting characters with different backgrounds and secrets, a young daughter on the ground in peril and hundreds of people up in the sky at the mercy of a hostage taker. The tension is building… it will be interesting to see how the main character, a flight attendant, manages to take control of the situation and — presumably — land the airplane!

I leave a note on Sophia’s bed — a felt-tip heart with love from Mummy underneath, something I’ve done every time I fly, ever since she learned to read.

Clare Mackintosh, Hostage

You can save hundreds of lives. Or the one that matters most…

From New York Times bestselling author Clare Mackintosh comes a claustrophobic thriller set over 20 hours on-board the inaugural nonstop flight from London to Sydney.
