A sensationally gripping book covering the tense few days between the death of one pope and the election of another.
There’s seriously no one who won’t be sucked in by this book-your thrill-loving cubicle-mate who loves a mystery with flying bullets, your corner-office feminist boss who likes her heroines smart and assertive, or the barely-out-of-her-teens office intern who will identify with the poignant coming-of-age subplot. A terrific read.īuy for: Your office Secret Santa who you don’t know from Adam. Usually I can pick up clues in books like these and figure out in advance who will live and who will die, but this time I was blindsided. Suspenseful, tightly plotted, and racheting its way to a merciless climax, “Flight of Dreams” takes a famous historic disaster–the explosion of the Hindenburg–and uses it as a ticking clock to power the novel along as a handful of likeable and unwitting characters scheme, dawdle, fret, kiss, drink, smoke, and kill time on the great luxury dirigible crossing the Atlantic, as all the while the reader is screaming at them to get off the balloon before it’s too late.
