Having liked Lynda La Plante's television work I looked forward to reading this. However I was sadly disappointed. The plot is not believable. The idea of using computer hacking techniques to get security information about the crown jewels and the Royal Intinerary falls down on the simple basis...that if a hacker could get that information it would make more sense to hack into bank accounts and steal money like that rather than the elaborate and credibility stretching plot outlined here. The characterisation is poor and there are no likeable characters. Half-way through I realised I didn't care what happened to any of them.
