About this listen

The BBC Radio 2 Book Club pick and instant Sunday Times best seller

You can save hundreds of lives.

Or the one that matters most....

The atmosphere on board the first non-stop flight from London to Sydney is electric. Celebrities are rumoured to be among the passengers in business class, and the world is watching the landmark journey.

Flight attendant Mina is trying to focus on the passengers, instead of her troubled five-year-old daughter back at home - or the cataclysmic problems in her marriage.

But soon after the plane takes off, Mina receives a chilling anonymous note. Someone wants to make sure the plane never reaches its destination. They're demanding her cooperation...and they know exactly how to get it.

It's 20 hours to landing.

A lot can happen in 20 hours....

Most relevant

I flew as cabin crew for 7 years, and am often frustrated and annoyed by works which are set in this world. However, the author has captured the detail with such accuracy, that I could settle in and enjoy the story without being constantly irritated by things that just wouldn't happen, or weren't right. I'm also a mum, and the way in which parental guilt and family dynamics are explored in this book, moved me deeply and had me in tears on more than one occasion. Out of nearly 300 audible listens, this is the first time I've been compelled to write a review. The characters, flawed in believable and very human ways, felt like real people. Fantastic book. Well done, Clare Mackintosh, I'm off to download another of your books now!
