Last Flight Out by S.J. Miller is an intriguing novel that will keep readers turning the pages with anticipation. The story moves at a fast pace, and the characters are realistic with each one having distinct personalities. Danielle Reynolds is the main character who seeks opportunities in the field of advertising. 

It’s the sixties and she quickly learns about discrimination in the workplace. Eventually she has a great title with the responsibilities, but she discovers that her salary is half of what her male counterparts earn. Frustrated, she knows she has to earn extra money. But how? 

The young woman doesn’t plan on becoming a professional escort or companion – but she doesn’t stop it from happening. Before long she finds herself in a situation where murder, the Mafia, political corruption,  and the Chicago underground rule. 

A flashback to the first chapter – and the last chapter, shows Danielle rushing to the airport to escape, hoping to start a new life in Los Angeles. Soon she would be in California where she would make a new start. Once again, she would be free – at least that’s what she believed.

Although Last Flight Out is a “quick read” book, it is mesmerizing. The author has managed to write this novel so that readers don’t see or feel her presence woven within the plot – a skill that many authors lack. I eagerly await a sequel to this novel by a writer whom I expect to become well-known.
