Our view
“Night Over Water” is a suspense novel built on a strong premise: a single flight at a decisive moment of the Second World War. Ken Follett gathers a varied set of passengers and keeps threads of kidnapping, theft and secrets in play. Some readers think the final twist predictable and object to women characters drawn as uniformly weak. Period suspense in a confined setting is its strongest card.
