Story was okay. I just wasn't that interested though I did finish the book. ( )

Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee will draw visitors from all parts of the empire. It's a security nightmare. There are fears of a terrorist plot to disrupt the activities. Will the security organizers discover the plot and capture those behind it in time to prevent a tragedy? Private investigator Lord Francis Powerscourt is on the case.

This is a series I've wanted to try for some time based on positive reviews I had read in some trade review publications. I won't be reading another book in this series. The plot of this book is interesting, but the writing is poor. The book reads more like an early draft than a finished product. It seems like the author didn't have an outline of the story, but was instead making it up as he wrote. The book has more problems than an editor should be expected to fix. Not recommended. ( )
