My
comments: I read this book because it's a Laura Cardinal mystery set in Tucson, not because it's part of this Flight 12 series. However, I am unfamiliar with the other 11 authors and protagonists, so I think I might try some out to see what's going on -- and to find some new mystery writers. This shortish story is an interesting read, as Black takes us back to characters we've met before. She plays on the good-and-bad-twisting-and-writhing personality changes that lay, usually dormant, inside people, and makes one think hard about how fragile we can all be - without even realizing it. I didn't want this particular "bad guy" to go downhill! Ah well, I'd love to see what's going to happen with this (probably) ill-fated flight!
The 12 Website
Interesting quote from a reader on Amazon: J. Carson Black has always been a good writer, but it's a pleasure seeing her find her niche and master it. How much suspense can be built in just over 20,000 words. Black's Flight 12 contribution answers the question, and demonstrates surprising depth in the process. Laura Cardinal is becoming more of a hardened veteran in Black's series, but someone who's absolutely committed to getting it right. Thanks to the ghost of her former partner, Frank Entwistle, she's got a delightful though not especially well groomed conscience to keep her on course. Great read, fast and fun and highly recommended!
