The Last Flight

Rating: 5 out of 5.

Pairs well with: An airport sized water bottle

If you love a good thriller/mystery, this is a must read. It has your typical thriller set up where it starts at a huge event and then goes back and fills in holes, but the way that this story comes together in the end is *chefs kiss*. Coming from someone who typically finishes books with 100 questions, I was completely satisfied with how it wraps up.

The book is about Claire Cook who married into a prominent political family and appears on the outside to be living the picture perfect life. We quickly learn this isn’t the whole truth and we start seeing her plot an escape from her marriage. It’s an incredibly well organized and exciting story, but Julie Clark also digs into a lot of bigger issues about why abuse victims don’t come forward, and how the media handles tragedies. A thriller that involves a political family is essentially my ideal book, but even if JFKs grandson is the only news update you’ve had in weeks you’ll enjoy this.
