Airborne by DiAnn Mills

4.0

I must admit, I’ve had this one on my TBR pile for a bit of time. It came out during the early days of the pandemic, I believe, and involves a released virus, so I wasn’t overly enthusiastic to read it. Then, of course, I picked it up while fighting Covid, so I really probably do not have the best timing on the planet, LOL! I liked that it was a stand-alone and something different (plus it filled an empty slot in my Reading Challenge), so I gave it a go. I do enjoy Ms Mills writings, but do still struggle a wee bit with her shortened sentences, especially in the dialogue. Once I get past that, I’m usually fine, and I was so with this book. Heather Lawrence is a Houston FBI agent who is is separated from her brilliant husband/doctor, Dr Chad Lawrence. Chad has moved out, and is about to take a new job with the CDC in Atlanta. Heather has always wanted to visit Salzburg, so she boards a plane, solo, to fly to Frankfurt Germany and on to Salzburg. Once on board the plane, a deadly virus is unleashed in the cabin and people begin to be very ill and die. The plane is eventually diverted to JFK and passengers sent to isolation at Jamaica hospital or to a small island for quarantine. Meanwhile, the FBI’s chief suspect - her husband Chad. I really enjoyed this one!
