About this listen

Coroner Jenny Cooper investigates… A tragic accident or a terrible crime? When Flight 189 plunges into the Severn Estuary, Coroner Jenny Cooper finds herself handling the case of a lone sailor whose boat appears to have been sunk by the stricken plane, and drawn into the mysterious fate of a ten year-old girl, Amy Patterson, a passenger on 189, whose largely unmarked body is washed up alongside his.

While a massive and highly secretive operation is launched to recover clues from the wreckage, Jenny begins to ask questions the official investigation doesn’t want answered. How could such a high tech plane – virtually impregnable against human error – fail? What linked the high powered passengers who found themselves on this ill-fated flight? And how did Amy Patterson survive the crash, only to perish hours later? Under pressure from Amy’s grieving mother, and opposed by those at the very highest levels of government, Jenny must race against time to seek the truth behind this terrible disaster, before it can happen again…

Critic reviews

”As premises go, this one’s a killer . . . It’s a terrific series, meticulously researched, sharply plotted and peopled with sympathetic characters, led by Cooper, who is always aware of the human consequences of failure” (Financial Times)

”The Flight is M R Hall's fourth story to feature clever coroner Jenny Cooper. His investigation of a plane crash in the Severn estuary is as complex and impressive as his debut The Coroner” (Sunday Telegraph)

I really enjoyed this book. Some may find the conspiracy a little far fetched but topical none the less. A gripping book which I could not stop listening to. It will make me think and be very aware next time I am on a jumbo jet heading across the Atlantic !

Excellent

Mathew Hall to date--'The Flight' Book Four kept me intrigued as did the three previous books.
Jenny Cooper the main character in the book has problems like the rest of society but is able to go about her job as Coroner with outwardly complete professionalism.
Full of intrigued, the story is believable! Loved it.
I am looking forward to book five.
The narrator is brilliant and hope she is doing all Jenny Cooper's story's.
I listen to all audible books whilst doing the jobs I hate i.e. domestics around the house and also in any leisure time I might have.

This series just gets better and better. Easily as good as Cornwell's Scarpeta series, of which I am also a big fan.

WOW!
