Synopsis

The explosively addictive locked-room thriller from New York Times bestseller Clare Mackintosh! A lot can happen in twenty hours when you're at 38,000 feet...

A claustrophobic thriller set over twenty hours on one airplane flight, with the heart-stopping tension of The Last Flight and the wrenching emotional intensity of Room, Hostage takes us on board the inaugural nonstop flight from London to Sydney.
 
Mina is trying to focus on her job as a flight attendant, not the problems of her five-year-old daughter back home, or the fissures in her marriage. But the plane has barely taken off when Mina receives a chilling note from an anonymous passenger, someone intent on ensuring the plane never reaches its destination. Someone who needs Mina's assistance and who knows exactly how to make her comply. It's twenty hours to landing. A lot can happen in twenty hours...

Me: It’s been awhile since I’ve read an airplane thriller involving a hijacking. Also Me: I’m lying. It’s a special occasion when World Airlines Flight #79 takes off for a non-stop trip from London to Sydney. Flight Attendant Mina is so eager to get away due to personal reasons, and although she’ll mi......more

Goodreads review by Jayme on June 24, 2021

What does an author do while sheltering in place and wishing they could travel? Clearly, they come up with a scenario to make sheltering in place seem not only tolerable, but preferable! With three hi-jacking books all being released this Summer! So, how does this one compare to the others? Well, Cl......more
