Before the Fall

"This is not a book to read if you are a nervous flier. It begins with a plane crash off Martha’s Vineyard (though in a small, private jet). From there, though, you’ll be engrossed even at 35,000 feet as the layers of this mystery are peeled away and each chapter about the final days before the crash is told from a different passenger’s point of view. There’s a media mogul, a starving artist, a young boy; they deal with celebrity, tragedy and absurdity. Author Noah Hawley created the TV show Fargo. Dude knows how to tell a story."
