Grace Beckmann hates flying in small airplanes, so when she arrives at the airport with her husband, Albert, to discover their plane is missing, she s noticeably relieved. But Jann and the plane aren t missing for long, and both the wreckage and her dead body are soon discovered in the Rockies. Shocked and horrified, things get considerably worse when the mechanic on site confirms Grace s worst fears - the plane was sabotaged.
Grace is immediately on edge.
I had a hard time sinking my teeth into this first installment in Lewin s Grace Beckmann series. For the first few chapters I couldn t shake the nagging feeling that something was missing. By the close of the last chapter, I had solved my dilemma. As a reader, I never felt connected to Grace. She s a nice enough character, and has admirable amateur sleuthing abilities, but it was the little things that kept me at arms length.
