Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This production features Clark's first two published stories, which concern flight attendants who make impulsive decisions that put their lives in peril before takeoff and find their problems solved by touchdown. These women solve their mysteries in between brightening their lipstick, pining after the men in their lives, and serving cocktails. Add in a sinister Soviet police commissioner and a cover-up by the "Reds," and you have tales that show their age. Reader Jan Maxwell can't break through stock characters and plot to make the stories come alive, but Clark's many fans may be interested, so demand will warrant purchase. Otherwise, this is not recommended.

Review
Carol Higgins Clark, actress and daughter of author Mary, provides a spirited reading of two short stories which are strong, tense thrillers. A conscientious flight stewardess becomes involved in politics and intrigue when she hides a frightened young stowaway from the authorities; and another stewardess becomes immersed in a web of deception when she serves as a carrier for an important document; only to find it's been stolen during the flight. -- Midwest Book Review
