Missing in Flight

By: Audrey J. Cole

Narrated by: Renata Friedman

From USA Today bestselling author Audrey J. Cole comes a harrowing thriller about a woman faced with the unthinkable, when her infant goes missing aboard a plane to New York.

Rushing back to her seat, Makayla Rossi is relieved that all’s still quiet. But when she checks on her sleeping baby, relief morphs into fear. The bassinet is empty.

Liam is gone.

It was a long flight from Anchorage to New York, and with every flight attendant busy, Makayla reluctantly ran to the restroom, asking a seat neighbor to watch her son. She stepped away for just a few minutes. Yet at thirty thousand feet, he still vanished.

Passengers and crew scour the plane to no avail, and since no one recalls seeing her with a baby, suspicions begin to mount about Makayla’s mental state. She’s certain this is nothing like her mother’s on-air memory meltdown. If only Jack, her husband, were there. He would believe her. A high-profile banker featured in Forbes, maybe he could even help.

But Makayla is squarely on her own. And she’ll have to think fast in order to find her son—before it’s too late.

Critic reviews

“Claustrophobic, intense, and impossible to put down.”—Victor Methos, bestselling author of A Killer’s Wife

“Audrey J. Cole is at the top of her game in this gripping, wildly original locked room thriller. Impeccably plotted with mind-blowing cliffhangers at every turn, I could not turn the pages fast enough!”—Susan Walter, bestselling author of Good as Dead

Caught my attention immediately!

Of late, I haven’t really found a book that draws me in, but this one did, from the get-go! This was an excellent story from an author with whom I am not familiar. I plan to get familiar!

kept me on the edge of my seat until the end

liked how the author kept the tension throughout the story that takes place within a span of just hours

Enjoyable BUT

*** 3.5 Stars *** Very enjoyable but very difficult to wrap my brain around everything that the flight crew did poorly or didn’t do in some instances. There were a few other things described that I had difficulty with too. I would elaborate on this but then I would give too much away. So, not rounding up on this one.

Great thriller!

Great from start to finish! really enjoyed this book and the narration was excellent too. highly recommend!

Raw fear from mother!

I loved this the suspense! you could fear the fear from mother even she questioned herself. The mother’s back ground provided a little from all the other characters in the story. Well done!
