Clare Mackintosh discusses her novel Hostage - the Radio 2 Book Club Book Of The Month, which is set on the first non-stop flight from London to Sydney and centres around Mina, a flight attendant who has been chosen to crew this inaugural flight but is distracted by troubles at home; both by her marriage and her troubled five-year-old daughter. As soon as they’re in the air, Mina receives a chilling anonymous note – someone wants to make sure the plane doesn’t reach its destination, and demands Mina’s cooperation, or face the consequences…

Best-selling writer of the Jack Reacher novels Lee Child is the guest reviewer. Plus there's the Factoids, Non-Stop Oldies and the latest entertainment and lifestyle news.
