Mile High (Windy City Series Book 1)

Product Information

Then we have the crew who is so bitchy that they seemed more entertaining than the actual entertainers on the flight. Why no other author has ever done that, that I know of, is quite a surprise because there's a lot of scope there, especially when it's a plane with as much hype as the PureAir LuxeLiner plane with all the celebs and gossip and scandal. And Pure Air is just one in a long line of businesses formed under the 'Pure' umbrella and headed up by a larger than life billionaire. The chapters were very long and wordy, so much information meant that there was not a lot of dialogue in this novel. There are different levels of crew depending on which airline they work for and it creates a class difference.

But speaking of the stalker, I really didn't find the mystery part so gripping our intense and could see pretty early on who this stalker is. Mile High was the eighth book by the American satirist and political novelist Richard Condon, first published by Dial Press in 1969.I found the ending to be rather lacklustre, and I felt that there were so many missed opportunities with the overall story. I am a little disappointed, because there was so much potential in this story - setting the novel on a plane was in my opinion a brilliant idea, just imagine, a ten - hour flight, you are closed on a plane with a murderer, stalker, singer, actress and other VIPs - how much can happen? I was also hooked on both characters – the infuriatingly arrogant (yet immensely appealing) Zanders and the strong, fierce Stevie, who battles insecurities about her curvy figure. I'm a romantic and can't help fantasizing that he'll change, but soon enough, I find myself questioning if sharing a roof with my best friend's brother was the right move after all. I was expecting to like the mystery of the stalker as well as the murderer but I was really disappointed to read about both of them.

So to say that I was excited to read her latest novel, Mile High, for the official blog tour is an understatement!There was always something going on, and left you guessing till right towards the end as to who the stalker was. And the other main character is the LuxeLiner itself - described in such glorious and vivid detail, every VIP pod, walkway, barstool and blue light and napkin. In fact those were the last 80 pages that teemed in action, and as the book is almost 500 pages long, well. But when he and his son start to feel like home, I have to remind us both that my time in Chicago ends with the summer.
