The Plot (from Goodreads):
Rushing back to her seat, Makayla Rossi is relieved that all’s still quiet. But when she checks on her sleeping baby, relief morphs into fear. The bassinet is empty.
Liam is gone.
It was a long flight from Anchorage to New York, and with every flight attendant busy, Makayla reluctantly ran to the restroom, asking a seat neighbor to watch her son. She stepped away for just a few minutes. Yet at thirty thousand feet, he still vanished.
Passengers and crew scour the plane to no avail, and since no one recalls seeing her with a baby, suspicions begin to mount about Makayla’s mental state. She’s certain this is nothing like her mother’s on-air memory meltdown. If only Jack, her husband, were there. He would believe her. A high-profile banker featured in Forbes, maybe he could even help.
But Makayla is squarely on her own. And she’ll have to think fast in order to find her son—before it’s too late.

The Review:
I always reach for a plane-related thriller when I travel!
Missing in Flight is a kidnapping thriller set on an airplane–the ultimate locked-room setting. I was certainly intrigued by the premise and eager to find out what happened to Liam. A lot of suspension of belief is required, but it’s an entertaining read. A bit slow at first, it picks up in the second half with nonstop action. While this book does fall into the trap of “no one believes the woman with questionable mental health history”, Makayla is adamant about standing up for herself and what she knows is true.
This is my first book by this author, and I’m interested to see what else she has on her backlist.
