The translation isn't great (and I suspect the prose is infinitely better in French), and the facts can be long and repetitive. The conclusion, however, seems reasonable, albeit terrifying.
What happened to Malaysia Airlines flight MH370? You may think you know the answer to that question but the truth is you probably don't. This book will correct that for you though and make you look at the whole incident in a new and much more skeptical light.
This is a very detailed and well researched book tackling the story of MH370 from the moment it happened right up to 2018. It picks up not only the official story of the crash that is clearly nonsense but also some of the other theories that have been put forward. Florence de Changy has really dedicated herself to this investigation over many years, following up on numerous leads which leads her to her conclusion that is a fairly chilling one. Also, you will never really look at the airline manufacturing companies in the same light again once you know the extreme lengths they will go to to lay the blame at one anyone or anything instead of their airplanes.
This is not a short book and it is very detailed but it is well written and the more I read the more the more it became obvious that the official story line is clearly suspect and so what really happened.... Well I won't spoil it apart from to say it amazing what you can cover up if enough people have skin in the game.

Its not often I leave a text review but I feel misssold, depite presenting itself as fact and the other reviews here - this book is no more than another conspiriacy theory.
I really do question the other reviewers here. Yes the book starts of quite well and the author does look to have done quite a lot of work and travel in her investigation but once she gets as far as the flaperon, what starts out as a reasonable bit of journalism slowly slips in to an excerise in ignoring facts on the level of a 4chan user.
She dismisses the flaparon and the other debris as a plant because a plate isn't on it and the serial number company took a long time to get back to the team .........
She dimisses the many reports of the pilot having issues using the family's report of nothing being wrong
She ignores all of the multiple sources showing the flighth path away from china to promote her theory of it being shot down in the south China sea .......
I could go on but really the further you go on the more it become obvious that there is a cherry picking of facts here makes you question the whole book. If she chooses to ignore the very things she's witten about already, what else has been left out?
By all means read if you want but take everything with the same pinch of salt you would any other conspiracy theory on the internet

Highly detailed! The author spent years organizing her reporting from her time in Malaysia immediately following the disappearance and adding current research to put forward a comprehensive, highly detailed work surrounding MH370. In areas, the author shares her impatience (the impatience experts and readers share) towards the incompetence, negligence, and misinformation that permeated the official information that was provided by investigatory bodies. And for good reason, we see all of the chaos and time wasted in the earliest stages through the pages of this book.
I'm fascinated with this incident, and the author leaves no stone unturned when detailing every ping and search and theory. She includes a lot of dates, data, and names that could be a bit confusing if you aren't paying attention.

I can’t deny that I did find some enjoyment in reading this book, and learned some interesting things I didn’t know before. However, you can cite a million of your unnamed sources, you still won’t get me to believe China shot down the plane because they only saw the American military planes surrounding it, ordering the plane to land so they could get the stolen American assets that were hidden in the cargo, disguised on the cargo list as fruit.

a very detailed and well constructed investigative book on the disappearance of the plane MH370. the author carefully describes and debunks the possible theories of the why's this tragic incident happened . With a lot of time spent on the investigations , all the chapters the thoroughly written with every minuscule details . If someone is interested in this case , this book can provide a good insight to how this might be related to world politics behind the general public's eyes. and also I liked the author dropped a joke or two or sarcastic sentences .
While the investigative journalism in this book seems thorough and professional, it seems more like a smattering of facts instead of a well-narrated story. I probably still have the lofty ideal of Michelle McNamara in my mind. I DNFd the book at 14%, even though I was and still am pretty intrigued about the happenings of MH 370, the cover-ups by the government and the author's theories about what actually went down on that fateful night,
