About this listen

"Sarah Goodwin is the queen of the survival thriller. The Private Jet is an exquisite parcel of danger and heart-racing suspense." DANDY SMITH

THE HIGHER YOU FLY…

In the dazzling lights of Thailand, socialite Lila Wilde is set for the night of her life. When her fame-hungry DJ boyfriend proposes at an exclusive nightclub, Lila makes a spur-of-the-moment decision: she invites a mix of celebrities, influencers, and near-strangers to keep the party going back at her luxurious villa — just a short flight over the lush Thai jungle. Champagne flows, music pulses, and the vibe on her private jet is nothing short of euphoric.

THE HARDER YOU FALL.

But when disaster strikes mid-flight, the dream turns into a nightmare and the group are stranded in an unforgiving jungle, far from the world of luxury they know. What begins as a desperate fight for survival quickly descends into something darker. Secrets are exposed and power dynamics shift, as the stranded passengers begin to realize the greatest threat might not be the jungle — but each other.

Some parties are unforgettable…this one might be deadly.

Another win

Positives - it was an easy listen and very enjoyable. I do like this author and though I’m likely not the target audience it is definitely a recommendation from me.

Negatives - characters are very much good or bad, no nuances which I felt would have added more depth. Avoiding spoilers I’ll be vague - The drug themes I wasn’t sure how believable that was or how people would act under the influence.

In summary, definitely a stretch of your imagination at some elements though it is an overall a solid good book and I’ll listen to the authors future books.

Great performance and above average story

Lots of repetitive sections so that I found it difficult to finish. Nothing particularly exciting happens considering the great set up. There were too many names to keep track of, and no strong characters built up, so I couldn't differentiate who was who until half way through. Probably more a me problem than the story, maybe I'll give it another listen in future.

I felt it dragged on a bit
