About this listen
The BBC Radio 2 Book Club pick and instant Sunday Times best seller
You can save hundreds of lives.
Or the one that matters most....
The atmosphere on board the first non-stop flight from London to Sydney is electric. Celebrities are rumoured to be among the passengers in business class, and the world is watching the landmark journey.
Flight attendant Mina is trying to focus on the passengers, instead of her troubled five-year-old daughter back at home - or the cataclysmic problems in her marriage.
But soon after the plane takes off, Mina receives a chilling anonymous note. Someone wants to make sure the plane never reaches its destination. They're demanding her cooperation...and they know exactly how to get it.
It's 20 hours to landing.
A lot can happen in 20 hours....

Terrific story, narration not so great
This is a fantastic story, but I
recommend reading the book rather than listening to it. There are multiple characters all read in the same voice and it gets a bit difficult to follow. Even the opening call to emergency services is completely deadpan. It really needs to be recorded again.

Excellent thriller!
The only thing that let down this book was the narration. To be clear, the narration was quite good on the whole, however the Narrator failed to differentiate her voice for the various characters, which made it difficult to distinguish which character's perspective I was listening. Overall this resulted in a confusing experience.

This book was amazing! Had to back up a few times and listen again to some pieces as there is a lot of detail that can easily be missed - especially at the very end, I thoroughly recommend .

Nearly gave up as it’s generally a bit slow and a bit too long. The post hijack portion is a bit far fetched

Great read
Gripping, tense everything you want in a thriller. Had to re-read once I finished, I had to tie ends up!

Twists and turns throughout
One of the best mystery/thrillers I've listened to. Loved it from start to finish.

Hmm
I agree with other reviews about how slow paced this story was, and I nearly gave up completely when someone managed to smuggle a bomb onto a plane but … it gets there in the end.

great story... terrifying
loved this but the performance was spoiled by a narrator that has no change in pitch or tone between passangers.
