One of the problems with Reader's Digest editions of anything is that you wonder if you missed anything important. Here, though, I was quite happy with what was there - any more would have been over the top.

Andrea Hayes used to work for the IRA, building bombs until something went wrong. Now her daughter has been kidnapped and she's been asked to build a bomb that will destroy London. The characters are mostly compelling, and there's a great twist in the book. The book is a little aged though - the events of September the 11th 2001 have not occured, and terrorism of this level seems like a strange, foreign type thing. ( )
