Thanks to Kirkus Review, the author and the publisher.

I sometimes give books second chance because it's a book I want to try again or I put it down for another book. This was one of them.

Not sure how to review this book. It was a fast and easy read since it was only 148 pages, but the plot wasn't that interesting to me besides that a junior associate at his law firm was a co-executor of a will which is just plain strange, thanks to his boss. Was it a set up? Things kept cropping up with different wills, etc. There's maybe a little romance on Adam's part with Sally, a paralegal who's helping him with unraveling this case. Things were a little mysterious when they uncovered some other things with this will.

The ending was somewhat what I expected with both his job and Sally but no romance.

Topics include aviation history, theory of flight, weather, navigation, and instruments, aerobatics, travel, racing, military airmen, home-built airplanes, and multiengine planes.
