Freefall by Joseph E. Stiglitz5/12/2023 But fans of lots of character development should probably seek out a Tana French or Jane Harper instead. They have a sort of general appeal to anyone who is a worried parent or has a difficult relationship with their own parents. Maggie's digging and Allison's desperate bid for survival race against each other, until it all comes together at the climax. Meanwhile, Allison's perspective instantly reveals that she is not actually dead but running from a mysterious someone. Maggie learns that her estranged daughter Allison died in a plane crash with her fiance and attempts to piece together the last couple years of her life. That being said, this can be forgiven if you just sit back and enjoy the ride, which is admittedly a fun and easy one. Most of the plot is fairly easy to predict and the one promised "twist" felt a lot more like deus ex machina to me. However, seasoned thriller readers might be a little disappointed by the lack of surprises. The short chapters keep the pacing up and make it easy to zip through. This is the kind of pulpy, plot-based read that you can power through in a single sitting, preferably on the beach or during a plane ride (if the plane crash aspect doesn't make you too nervous).
