To put it simply, Liz Woods has written something very seductively irresistible here. ‘Crash Position’ offers us a glimpse into a world that is both tempting and repulsive—a world you didn’t know existed as you take your cushy airplane seat by the window.At its heart, ‘Crash Position’ is many things, but it all boils down to a single gestalt: Liz, new member of a flight crew for a famous international airline who gets embroiled with the wrong sort of people. And by “wrong sort” I mean the type who has the liver to use their airline jobs to do illegal things, from smuggling to drug trafficking, all headed by Tanya. What makes this book such an irresistible read is how the author Liz Woods succeeds so well in fleshing out Liz’s character: how she grapples with the moral dilemma of what she must do with the “Tanya situation”, all while staying alive—at least long enough until the authorities take over.Needless to say, as main character Liz is constantly in close contact with fatal danger, especially as Tanya’s group never hesitates in using excessive force to get what they want, the book simmers with edge-of-your-seat suspense. I’ve recently seen Liam Neeson’s film, ‘Non-stop’, which added to my enjoyment of this book. If you love suspense thrillers set in the high-intensity reality of an airplane cabin, then get a copy of ‘Crash Position’—full enjoyment guaranteed. Get a copy.
