Layover by David Bell. This story didn't have the intensity of the previous books by Mr. Bell. The characters didn't have much depth so it was difficult to connect with them, So many random chance meetings that didn't make sense.....if you set credulity aside and try not to over think the events, it is a good read.

Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for the opportunity to preview the book.

Joshua Fields hates to fly, but he does it all the time for business. When he meets an attractive woman at an airport bar, he becomes attracted to the point of obsession, changing his flight to be able to board the one she is on. When he approaches her on the plane she denies knowing him, says they never met and insists he doesn’t even know her name. When the flight lands, he’s ready to forget her until he sees her picture on the television along with an urgent message that she’s been reported missing. Joshua isn’t the only one looking for Morgan, the police want to question her about the disappearance of a wealthy businessman. What follows is a somewhat predictable story as Joshua tries to help a woman who does not want his help. This wasn’t Bell’s best book, I found Joshua’s obsession borderline creepy and Morgan very hard to like

a chance meeting with a woman in an airport sendsa man on a pulse-pounding quest for the truth.
Joshua Fields takes the same flights every week for work, his life a series of departures and arrivals, hotels and airports. During yet another layover, he meets Morgan, a beautiful stranger with whom he feels animmediate connection. When it's time for their respective flights, Morgan kisses Joshua passionately, lamenting that they'll never see each other again.
As soon as Morgan disappears in the crowd, Joshua is shocked to see her face on a nearby TV. The reason: Morgan is a missing person.
What follows is a whirlwind, fast-paced journey filled with lies, deceit, and secrets as Joshua tries to discover why. Every time he thinks one mystery is solved, another rears its head—and his worst enemy mightbe his own assumptions about those around him.
