When a commercial turboprop is forced to go-around on losing communication with Mull tower, the operations team find their oldest controller dead at his post.

Silence is golden… unless you need to land!
My Take
I'm unashamedly hooked on this series.
This book is set on Mull where a traffic controller is found dead at his desk when a small plane is attempting to land.
A relatively quick read, but several puzzles keep you hooked until the end.
But if you are new to this series, do tackle some of the earlier titles, so get some real knowledge of the main characters. I enjoy the variety of settings, and also the real variety in plots. Look out to for the well developed interactions between the main characters. They get you thinkin!
My rating: 4.5
