Before the Fall (release date: May 31)
Goodreads Description:
On a foggy summer night, eleven people-ten privileged, one down-on-his-luck painter-depart Martha's Vineyard on a private jet headed for New York. Sixteen minutes later, the unthinkable happens: the plane plunges into the ocean. The only survivors are Scott Burroughs-the painter-and a four-year-old boy, who is now the last remaining member of an immensely wealthy and powerful media mogul's family.With chapters weaving between the aftermath of the crash and the backstories of the passengers and crew members-including a Wall Street titan and his wife, a Texan-born party boy just in from London, a young woman questioning her path in life, and a career pilot-the mystery surrounding the tragedy heightens. As the passengers' intrigues unravel, odd coincidences point to a conspiracy. Was it merely by dumb chance that so many influential people perished? Or was something far more sinister at work? Events soon threaten to spiral out of control in an escalating storm of media outrage and accusations. And while Scott struggles to cope with fame that borders on notoriety, the authorities scramble to salvage the truth from the wreckage.
Katherine's review:
(3 out of 5 stars) I enjoyed reading this book but felt that the pacing of the story was off. Or, maybe it's just not my kind of book. Definitely written in a way to keep the reader's attention. Before the Fall is a great book to read while you're traveling. It will make you lose track of time!

That is funny that you said a good book to read while traveling! I don't usually want to read a book about a plane crash while traveling. HA! But, I will take it as a beach read, because I know what you were trying to say - a page turner. Thank you for the recommendation!
