A great legal thriller with a strong performance from Anthony Hopkins, very sinister. Although I did realise how he did it straight away, but it has a good twist at the end to. Might be a bit slow in places for some.

I know, I know, I'm complaining about the courtroom scenes in a legal thriller, but they really seemed to slow down the pace of the story late in the second half. Overall, I did enjoy the book, however.

Flight Risk was a fun romantic legal thriller!
This book was filled with so many layers that flowed together flawlessly, keeping my mind engaged through its entirety. It did not read like your typical legal thriller as most of the mystery takes place outside the courtroom so to speak. Cara C. Putman explains the legal terms used in an easy to understand verbiage without the information losing its intended meaning. All the while weaving several different plots together for the makings of one cohesive story.
I loved the main character Savannah; she showed a strength that I want to have in my own life. Her reactions to the situations presented were genuinely believable and seemed to fit the situations well. Jett was also a good character who had an encouraging spirit and would do anything to find the truth; something I admire. I enjoyed the themes of learning from our past mistakes and never judging a book by its cover, I though Cara C. Putman did a great job putting those themes at the forefront throughout the book. I did feel that the end was rushed, as everything happened so quickly, there was just something missing at the end; that is not to say that there isn’t a good ending
