Mile High - Rebecca Chance (2015)

 

It’s the inaugural flight of PureAir’s new luxury airliner LuxeLiner and this will be its showcase, a spectacular maiden voyage from London to LA packed with celebs. These include the hottest female superstar around, Catalina, Oscar-nominated actress Jane Browne and playboy chef Danny Zasio. Overseeing it all is PR guru Vanessa, who’s planned it all meticulously and even the airline’s CEO Lord Tony is aboard. The cabin crew, who have been especially selected for this prestigious role, includes imperious Lucinda and her loyal sidekick Karl as well as new recruit Angela, who (horror of horrors!) has been headhunted from a budget airline. The flight from London to LA will take 10 hours but this is going to be one unforgettable journey, especially when there’s a stalker on board. Rebecca Chance gives new meaning to the mile-high club in this jam-packed tale. Setting her novel primarily at 30,000 feet is a stroke of genius, and the exclusive VIP world brings that added pizzazz. Chance swaps little kids kicking seatbacks and drunken stag parties for celebs and high rollers and it’s a fascinating glimpse into life in the skies. She splits the narrative between the onboard action and the land-based events leading up to the inaugural flight, but it’s definitely the onboard antics that prevail. And the story involving Catalina is the strongest of these. Unfortunately, I wasn’t as engaged by Jane’s story and the subplot with a murderer was rather inconsequential. However Catalina’s story is more than compelling enough and Chance keeps the stalker’s identity concealed well and manages to keep the reader on their toes. The love story too is great and one of the sweetest couples ever. This is one flight you won’t want to miss. (JC)
