Flight Across Waters
By ESSIEN ASIANApril 1, 2024 Ulla Håkanson's Flight Across Waters is a beautifully crafted investigative mystery with a hint of romance. The characters are well-developed, and their origin stories flow smoothly so that the reader can understand each character's motivations. Flight Across Waters is the sequel to The Price Of Silence, but the impressive storytelling style makes it a compelling standalone offering. The characters' conversations are clear and direct. On the rare occasions when the author purposefully steers the discussion toward the increasingly technical aspects of police work, to appear as realistic as possible, the overall plot maintains the suspense the reader needs to stay engrossed. I particularly like how supposedly unrelated subplots intertwine seamlessly into one thrilling adventure. Amy's life-threatening altercation with Mark in the Sokalsky residence is an example of this. Mystery genre readers will enjoy figuring out the clues placed strategically throughout the novel. Flight Across Waters is an outstanding piece of work from a talented author.

By RICH FOLLETTMarch 28, 2024 Flight Across Waters by Ulla Håkanson offers characters so real that they seem to pop up from the pages to speak, dialogue that is both imaginative and completely believable, and a masterful, thrilling plot chock-full of amazing and unexpected twists and reversals. What’s not to like? In a world where so many thrillers are testosterone-laden, it is a true pleasure to read a narrative featuring a strong, capable, and yet undeniably feminine protagonist. Amy’s journey is relatable, engaging, utterly believable, and truly inspiring. It should be noted that Flight Across Waters is a standalone sequel to Håkanson’s previous title The Price of Silence, so readers who will no doubt want more of her marvelous prose will find it easy to explore her prodigious gift for weaving a compelling tale. Flight Across Waters is a riveting, impeccably researched, and marvelously detailed thriller from a brilliant writer at the top of her game, worthy of being read even by those not usually drawn to the genre.

By ANTOINETTE WESSELSApril 1, 2024 If you love thrilling and exciting novels, you will not be disappointed with Ulla Håkanson’s Flight Across Waters. This was a thriller I could not put down until the last page. The novel is written from different characters’ perspectives, giving you an in-depth understanding of them and experiencing the story from various viewpoints. With the fast-paced development of the plot, I was on the edge of my seat, consistently waiting for the next ball to drop. The concept that an everyday hairdresser goes on a mission to save her husband ensured that I could easily relate to the main character, Amy; this also ensured that the suspense increased as I was rooting for her. It is evident throughout the novel that the author did a lot of research when writing Flight Across Waters, and I applaud her for a fantastic piece of literature.
