Thank you NetGalley and publisher for the ARC.
I really enjoyed this book. A gripping opening with the estranged daughter, Allison, making her escape from a plane crash in the mountains; so excellently written that I felt I was experiencing her desperation. Meanwhile on the opposite American coast her mother Maggie receives news that her daughter must have died in the crash, although no body had yet been found, and friends gather to help her through it.
The story unfolds brilliantly through both mother and daughter's thoughts to reveal the events which led to the crash and Allison's overwhelming need to get back to her mother, and her mother's determination to find out all she can about the man in the plane with her daughter.
However, acknowledging that most of these passages provided the background necessary to build up the picture of how the past was now shaping their present actions, I do feel that some were a little lengthy, not entirely necessary and, especially towards the conclusion of the story, were distracting and disruptive to the flow and pace that the writing was generating.
Nevertheless, well worth the read.

Really enjoyed this book although I did guess what was happening. Fast paced & enjoyable read thanks for the preview

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Freefall is a high concept thriller. Told through the perspectives of Allison and Maggie, this follows a plane crash. Allison has survived, and is on the run, but who is she hiding from, and why? In another state Maggie hears about a plane crash and her daughter, Allison’s death alongside Allison’s finance. Maggie hasn’t spoken to her daughter for years due to a fallout, and doesn’t recognise this new Allison. As Maggie starts to dig deeper she realises Allison’s life isn’t as perfect as it seems...But can she save her daughter in time?
This was a fun, blockbuster-type read. It’s pacy and well-plotted, although the villain was a bit cliched. Overall a fun, gripping read.
