absbia777 's review for:

High Dive by Jonathan Lee
2.0

In 1984, a bomb was planted at the Grand Hotel in Brighton, England. The intent was to kill Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, put together by the Irish Republican Army. We follow Dan, the orchestrator of the plot, and Moose and Freya, the manager of the hotel and his daughter, during the four weeks leading up to the bombing. While the concept was cool, the execution fell short. These characters were just so boring and I probably would have enjoyed following the IRA viewpoint a lot more. I wanted to see exactly what goes into a murder plot, and that we got very little of. However, I hadn't known anything about this event, so now my mind is broadened just a little for having read this book.
