First Class Killing Heitman, Lynne

**First Class Killing by Lynne Heitman - Crime Thriller**

Buckle up for a high-altitude murder mystery that'll have you gripping your armrest tighter than turbulence over the Atlantic. Airline investigator Alex Shanahan finds herself knee-deep in corporate corruption and deadly secrets when a colleague meets a suspicious end. This isn't your typical cozy mystery – Heitman delivers gritty realism with insider knowledge of the aviation industry that feels authentically claustrophobic.

Perfect for fans of procedural thrillers and workplace mysteries who appreciate strong female protagonists navigating male-dominated industries. Heitman's background in airline management adds genuine texture to this crime fiction gem. If you devour Tana French or enjoy the investigative elements of Nordic noir, this preloved paperback from Patina Paperbacks deserves a spot in your reading queue.

Genre-bending between corporate thriller and detective fiction, it explores themes of loyalty, corruption, and survival in cutthroat business environments.

**Reader Reviews:**
