I read Robert Ludlum many, many years ago. Also, we seemed to have a fair bit of repetition: how many times do we have to hear that it could be in Chad, or ? or ?. What irritated me (just me remember) was the unfamiliar names, of places and people that I found hard to retain due to their spelling or pronunciation – so that it slowed up the pace. Don’t ask me why it isn’t because I just have not figured it out. However, it is not Robert Ludlum, not even close. When I started this book I was very much looking forward to a Robert Ludlum type book, and as far as it goes perhaps one could say this is.

What was very interesting was the information relating to the missing girls that have been ‘removed’ from their homes and schools – and the hundreds of girls that are still missing.
