Flight MH370: The Mystery is a 2014 book by American-born-British author Nigel Cawthorne concerning the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370[1]

Synopsis

The book is critical of official accounts of the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, noting 'In a world where we can be tracked by our mobile phones, CCTV and spy cameras, things do not just disappear. Especially not a big thing like a jumbo jet'. The book questions alleged failure by governments and organisations to share information concerning Flight MH370.[2] The author suggests a cover up has occurred because the United States Military shot down the plane during military exercises in the region.[3]

Reception

The book was fiercely criticised in The Australian by David Free, who described it as an 'information gumbo' that 'reproduces the slapdash atmosphere of the worst kind of 24-hour news show' and advised readers 'Next time you’re in one (a shop), buy any book other than this. I guarantee it won’t be worse'[4] while the The Daily Telegraph reported some relatives of the victims were angered by the book[5]
