Tailspin

Title: Tailspin
Author: Sandra Brown
Published: August 7th 2018 by Grand Central Publishing
Format: Hardcover, 432 pages
Genre: Suspense

I was disappointed with the slow superficial feel of the book and was ready to put it down on numerous occasions that is until the last 100 or so pages ramped this ho-hum novel into a page-turner that kept me reading later than I had intended.

You are going to learn more about flying and reckless pilots than may interest you, but the descriptions go a long way in understanding Rye Mallett and why he agreed to take a small black box to a remote airstrip, in the middle of a storm, to meet a doctor. What he did not take into account was others might not want this package to arrive and if it is necessary to try to blind a pilot with a laser and crash his plane, well then, it is just something that had to happen.

It turns out Dr. Brynn O’Neal has her own reasons why no one but she can receive this package. She is not going to let some “freight dog” get in her way and if she literally has to fight her way out from under him, she will do whatever is necessary to get this bio-medical package to those in the most need.

Neither trusts the other and as the full story of research drugs, testing, US regulations, and unscrupulous people in power all converge, it is a countdown to whether all Rye and Brynn have gone through will be worth it to save just one life.
