Missing in Flight by Audrey J. Cole is a fast-paced thriller about Makayla Rossi, a mother whose infant son mysteriously vanishes mid-flight. With no one on board remembering the baby, Makayla's sanity is questioned—especially given her family’s history of memory issues. As the investigation unfolds, secrets, lies, and a ransom plot surface, turning a routine flight into a chilling mystery at 30,000 feet.

I was immediately hooked. I'm a sucker for thrillers set on airplanes. There's just something about the confined space, limited suspects, and claustrophobic tension that makes for the perfect storm. And Missing in Flight by Audrey J. Cole absolutely delivered. This was my first read by Audrey J. Cole, and it won't be my last. The central question-where is the baby?-had me on edge the entire time. On a plane, there's only so many places to hide, and that impossibility made the suspense even more intense. I flew through this book, desperate for answers, and the pacing never let up. The story unfolds through multiple points of view, which added so much depth and tension. A few unexpected twists popped up that made me do a double take-in the best way. It was an easy, fast-paced read that kept me fully engaged from takeoff to landing. 

If you are a fan of locked-room mysteries, fast-paced thrillers, and books like Hostage by Clare Mackintosh or The Chain by Adrian McKinty, you will likely devour this one. If you love unraveling a mystery piece by piece-and you're okay with some high-stakes anxiety-this one's for you.

Hates it. The plot is so repetitive and the final explanation is dumb dumb dumb.
