92ppBreakaway Media (June 8, 2014"I want you to investigate my death."Payton Hatcher says to Laura Cardinal. She knows that Laura is a detective with Arizona DPS (Department of Public Safety), she had seen her on TV one time. It was her she wanted to cover the investigation into her death, that is why she approached her at the gym they both work out at. Laura did her best to convince Payton to seek help down other avenues but that was like talking to the wall.It wasn't until a few weeks later that Laura took Payton's concerns to heart. Laura was assigned a case with her partner Anthony, an accident scene, a car went down into a canyon at a hairpin curve on a mountain road. It was not that car that got her attention, it was the car underneath that did. There was the body of a woman in that car, a young woman, with a bullet hole at her temple. Her name was Payton Hatcher. JCarson Black tied one investigation into another so well that by the time...(never mind, you're going to have to read for yourself.  :-)I love the seamless way JCarson Black gave just enough back story to the reader that allowed Laura Cardinal to be a well developed character from the get go. Laura's tenacity and gut instincts attracted me to her, making her become alive in my minds eye. "Flight 12: A Laura Cardinal Thriller" played like a short movie in my mind. With enough twists and turns that held me to the story and kept me turning the page. There were only two minute things that I would like to have seen more of. A longer book and a bit more info on her ghostly mentor. Sorry, no spoiler alerts here!I promise you that through all of Laura's investigations, through the multiple directions they take her, you will become anxious to reach the end but at the same time want the story to continue once you do. I liken it to a roller coaster, I love roller coasters, and this book left me with that same feeling. Hurry and get yourself caught up, otherwise you will miss the flight of a lifetime. Happy Reading!!
