What to expect

THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

'Bristling with suspense and crammed with false clues, it would make a fine Hitchcock film' Daily Mail

'I couldn't put it down' has never been more true! Crying out to be turned into a Netflix series' Prima

'I read it in one sitting ... The story really drew me in and I was really rooting for both women to escape. A great beach read. 5 stars' Netgalley review

Claire and Eva lead very different lives, but they have one thing in common - they are both in huge danger and need to disappear.

A chance encounter at the airport presents the two women with a simple but crazy solution: switch places then drop off the grid when they land.

But one woman will never reach her destination.

In a smart, tense and twisting narrative that will have you hooked from the first page to the last.

Reviews from Netgalley:

* 'This wasn't like any book I've read before. (...) It was emotional, page turning, well written, believable, relatable, and every other emotion in between.'

* 'Loved this book - was a real page -turner, fast paced well plotted and I was hooked from the start. I can highly recommend - you won't be disappointed!'

* 'Perfect beach read for this summer. Twists and turns and likeable characters will draw you in.'

* 'Fast moving, fully entertaining suspense with well drawn characters and a engaging plot. Ideal escapism.'

* 'Overall, a terrific suspense thriller which is extremely well written, keeps your focus throughout with characters you invest in. Highly recommended.'

Critics Review

Everything you want in a book: a gripping story of suspense; haunting, vulnerable characters; and a chilling and surprising ending that stays with you long after the last page.
Aimee Molloy, New York Times bestselling author of The Perfect Mother
The Flight lived up to the hype and then some. Clark starts with a bang then keeps the pace at full throttle . . . The perfect combination of beautiful prose and high suspense, and an ending that I guarantee will catch you off guard.
Kimberly Belle, internationally bestselling author of Dear Wife and The Marriage Lie
Strong women take center stage in this Breaking Bad meets Sleeping with the Enemy thriller. The Flight has it all - original characters, fast pacing, and clever twists, all in one explosive package.
Wendy Walker, bestselling author of The Night Before
Julie Clark's The Flight is a stunner: both a compelling, intricately woven tale of suspense and a thoughtful, nuanced portrayal of two very different women, each at a dangerous crossroads in her life. I couldn't turn the pages fast enough!
Kathleen Barber, author of TRUTH BE TOLD
The moral dilemmas that the multifaceted, realistic characters face in their quest for survival lend weight to this pulse-pounding tale of suspense. Clark is definitely a writer to watch.
Publishers Weekly
THE FLIGHT is a wild ride: One part Strangers on a Train, one part Breaking Bad, with more twists than an amusement park roller coaster! Julie Clark is a devilishly inventive storyteller.
Janelle Brown, New York Times bestselling author of WATCH ME DISAPPEAR
Propulsive prose drives Clark's tale of the intersecting lives of these two smart and resourceful women, and emphasis is placed on the importance of female friendship and support. Readers will surely find themselves hopelessly invested in Claire's and Eva's ultimate fates. A tense and engaging womancentric thriller.
Kirkus Reviews
Absolutely incredible! Gripping, heart-stopping and full of feisty women
Jo Spain, bestselling author of The Confession
I was gripped from the start and the ending was a perfect final twist
Julie Corbin
It's hard to become engrossed in a book just now, with so much noise crackling inside and outside of our heads, but 'The Flight' is thoroughly absorbing - not only because of its tantalizing plot and deft pacing, but also because of its unexpected poignancy and its satisfying, if bittersweet, resolution. The characters get under your skin
