Five books set on a plane….  Oh the enclosed space of an aeroplane has proven to be a great environment for a crime thriller! There are some clever novels which take the fear of flying and really ramp it up to frighten everyone! Frequent flyers may be afraid of a plane after reading this collection of novels which are flying off the shelf! (Sorry not sorry)

In the Unlikely Event by Judy Blume

This story is not that far from fiction. Amazingly, the premise of three plane crashes within a short space of time actually happened in the town of Elizabeth town New Jersey, the home of the author. Judy writes on her blog that it was a scary time and there was fear and panic in many people as they tried to work out what was going on.

 

Happy Travels! ( Well literary ones to be fair!)
