Gate 76 is a fast moving story written by author Andrew Diamond. The overall plot is good, bit it is difficult to follow at times. Thanks to NetGalley and Stolen Time Press for the advance copy.

Overall Rating (out of 5)
⭐⭐⭐⭐

A good thriller with a solid plot and complex characters, that will keep you turning pages.

Freddy Ferguson is a rough-around-the-edges P.I. who finds himself at the airport boarding a plane at the same time another flight is boarding. Like any good detective, Freddy takes in his surroundings and the people in them. Particularly the blonde in front of him who appears to do a quick change and get on a different plane than the man who escorts her thinks she does . When tragedy strikes, and the other flight crashes into the ocean, Freddy finds himself working on the case on behalf of the airline; but instead of doing background checks on passenger lists, Freddy starts looking into who this mysterious woman was, and whether there is any connection to the apparent bombing of the plane.

I really enjoyed the character development in this book. The main characters had depth and complexity, Freddy particularly. Despite being the hero of the story, Freddy has some character flaws. A short fuse makes him hard to like at times, but all in all, he is a good guy and you do end up liking him.

Thank you to Netgalley for this advance reading copy.

Happy Reading!

I have heard of this author but never read any of his books, until this one. But after reading this I will definitely be looking for his other ones. This book has so many twists and turns, when you think that its coming to a close, it has another twist that leaves you like what a new turn. It starts with a mysterious woman fleeing an unknown terror board, and getting on a wrong plane to San, Francisco and she disappears, leaving Freddy Ferguson a trouble detective with a violent past, and he believes that she may be the only witness to a crime that has captivated the nation, He and others are out to find out what really happened. Freddy is told that he is just to investigate the plane crash, and he says he is, but it leads him to finding out that one of their own is a crooked FBI agents, and is working with the wrong people to cover up his crimes. It all comes down to the missing girl and he is determined to get to the bottom of this. He pushes through and finds the missing woman, who they all thought was killed in the crash. This is a must read for anyone that loves this kind of mystery and suspense. I loved this book and I hope that there will be more just like it. I will be reading some of his other. I highly recommend this book
