When a winter storm traps stewardess Patty Byrne and her crew at a Chicago layover hotel, all she wants is a hot shower and a soft bed. Instead, she wakes to a maid's scream and discovers her fellow stewardess dead in the room next door.
The police have their prime suspect: a married pilot rumored to be having an affair with Carol. It's neat. It's simple. It makes perfect sense.
But Patty isn't convinced.
With charming Homicide Detective Eugene Coker pursuing both the case and Patty herself, and her complicated relationship with Special FBI Agent Bill Hart unraveling from afar, Patty must navigate murder and her own conflicted heart.
As the snow piles higher, Patty realizes the killer could be anyone—a stranger, a crew member, even hotel staff.
And asking the wrong questions might make her the next target.

Another entertaining booking in this fun series set in the 1960s. Patty is an airline stewardess and is a great main character. A winter storm has Patty and the whole crew stuck in Chicago when one of the stewardess is found murdered in her room.
The 60s setting is a great time period. The author does a fantastic job incorporating the many details and nuances from that period in to the story. Patty is a smart independent woman standing up for herself and searching hard for the truth.
I recommend this cozy murder mystery book and the series.
I received a free advance copy of this book via BookSirens and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
In the Patty Byrne books, Carly Winter has created another great series with a strong, intelligent main character and mysteries that are full of twists and turns. Terminal Intentions, the newest book in the series is my favorite so far. It's a great story. The characters are engaging, and her historical details really make the 60s come alive. I can't recommend this book enough.
I received an advance copy of this book and am enthusiastically leaving this five-star review.
Each book in this series gets better and better. Such wonderful characters and an easy quick read. I think this one was the best yet. I’m looking forward to the next book.
Another entertaining story in the Patty Byrne series by Carly Winters.
Twists, turns and danger.
Snowed in while grounded in Chicago, one of the crew is found murdered in her room. The police think it’s one of the crew who is a murderer.
Once again Patty gets involved and there’s the added bonus of the lead detective.
*I received this as an ARC reader and am leaving my unbiased review.
Patty Byrne feels like her feet haven't touched the ground; her first international flight - to Hong Kong no less - was a great success and another step up the ladder of her stewardess career. Now, in Chicago, she's stuck with the flight team as they wait out a stormstorm that's dropped two feet of snow on the city. And when the stewardess in the room next to her is murdered, Patty fears that the incompetent detective assigned to the case will never let them leave.
I love stepping back through time with Patty. The sights and sounds are authentically the 60s, and the author does an amazing job helping the reader acclimatise to the era. There are many twists and turns to this mystery; one of them is, frankly, quite lovely.
Terminal Intentions is the fourth book in the Patty Byrne Cozy Mysteries series. It can be read as a standalone, but the reader risks spoiling plot points in previous books when they go back to read them (and they will!).
Thank you to Carly Winter and BookSirens for the opportunity to read this digital ARC. As always, my opinions are my own, honest and true.
