Thanks to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for the opportunity to read and review this wonderful book!
This book deserves all the hype its gathering - definitely put it on your summer to read list!
The book involves a group of people who board a private plane from Martha's Vineyard headed to a small airport outside NYC. The plane is owned by a media mogul whose wife and two small children are with him. Along for the ride are their friends, a Wall Street executive about to be indicted for money laundering and his wife; a body guard, the plane's crew, and a down-on-his-luck painter. Sixteen minutes later, the plane crashes into the ocean. Only the painter and the 4-year-old boy survives.
Then the mystery sets in - what caused the plane to crash? Mechanical or pilot error? Or was it murder because of the wealthy passengers? Did the painter have something to do with it?
The story is told in chapters dealing with the aftermath of the crash and the backstories of all the passengers.
Also at play are bigger issues - people's rights to privacy and how that relates to the media's rights to tell a story.
This is a blockbuster novel - it's hard to put down once you start it. Highly recommended!
