Loved this novel! Firstly I really liked the main character, Jo, and the behind the scenes one too, Sir James. Then it is a mix of espionage, royal family secrets, love, friendship and journalism.
It is very fast pace and I was glued to the pages for three nights as it gripped my attention so much.
Sure, the plot is not that realistic, but who knows!?!, and yet you never feel it is completely out of the ordinary as I normally do with espionage movies.
A great escapism novel which I devoured. Highly recommend it!
