Summary
The affair was weird when seen from afar, but seen in close-up, it was Kafkaesque: it was not possible in 2014 for a Boeing 777 to have simply disappeared....
A remarkable piece of investigative journalism into one of the most pervasive and troubling mysteries of recent memory.
01:20 am, 8th March 2014.
Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, carrying 239 passengers, disappeared into the night, never to be seen or heard from again.
The incident was inexplicable. In a world defined by advanced technology and interconnectedness, how could an entire aircraft become untraceable? Had the flight been subject to a perfect hijack? Perhaps the pilots lost control? And if the plane did crash, where was the wreckage?
Writing for Le Monde in the days and months after the plane’s disappearance, journalist Florence de Changy closely documented the chaotic international investigation that followed, uncovering more questions than answers. Riddled with inconsistencies, contradictions and a lack of basic communication between authorities, the mystery surrounding flight MH370 only deepened.
Now, de Changy offers her own explanation. Drawing together countless eyewitness testimonies, press releases, independent investigative reports and expert opinion, The Disappearing Act offers an eloquent and deeply unnerving narrative of what happened to the missing aircraft.
An incredible feat of investigative journalism and a testament to de Changy’s tenacity and resolve, this audiobook is an exhaustive, gripping account into one of the most profound mysteries of the 21st century.
Critic reviews
"Totally brilliant, if unnerving, The Disappearing Act, must be read by anyone wishing to understand one of the greatest mystery of the 21st century." (Edward Jay Epstein, New York Times best-selling author and investigative journalist)
"With ruthless forensic skill, Florence de Changy has dismantled and discredited the official versions of what happened to the ill-fated flight MH370." (Victor Mallet, Financial Times Paris bureau chief)
"People often say that non-fiction books read like fast-moving thrillers, but this one genuinely does.... This is a splendid book – and highly recommended." (Daily Mail)

Excellent piece of investigative journalism
I think nearly everyone has been fascinated by the fate of MH370. I know that I have researched and read most theories since its disappearance 2014. Here Florence de Changy has assembled most of them, alongside her own extremely thorough research. I believe she has hit on the correct solution. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole book.

Very interesting, possibly too many figures?
I have always been fascinated by MH370 and after hearing good reviews about this book, I downloaded it.
it's very good, beautifully read by the narrator. The hard work that's gone into her research is very evident. it's a long listen, and gets quite heavy at times. My only negative is how often numbers and figures are used, such as serial numbers and coordinates. I understand they are mentioned as proof, but especially during the middle chapters your mind will be spinning!
A good book, I enjoyed listening to it. This is a life times work and it shows. Incredibly in depth and detailed.
Still left wondering exactly why though...

Intriguing theory, lots of footnotes too.
This is an interesting review of the situation, based on a mix of facts and opinions. Not sure I am totally convinced by the conclusion, however I enjoyed the style and flow throughout. Worth a listen!

Great stuff.
Fantastic, all the way to the end.
Headline should read, now that's what I call research.
I heard the author on a podcast, couldn't believe it was on audible.

Engrossing story
Although fascinated by the author’s incredibly detailed detective work and a very strange but true story, I found the writers obsession with serial numbers, quoted extensively, detracted from the narrative. A real life detective story, despite being over detailed, worth listening. Not on a flight though.
