An eye-opening and undeniably thought provoking read - By: Mrs. D. Moon, 27 Jul 2008 
I've always had my suspcisions that Diana's death was more than a mere accident - & have been constantly derided by those who challenge my opinion. This is THE book that everyone should read with an open mind - & then make their decision. All that remains are far too many unanswered questions & this is still to my mind an unsolved case. The author writesin a pragmatic & unbiased manner, presenting the evidence of which I would imagine the public remain blissfully unaware, but which must bein the public domain.
Neither unique, nor astounding - By: Agraf, 13 Oct 2007 
The book's backcover blurts that the author uses «unique contactsin the secretive worlds of intelligence & royalty», but you & I have read so many magazine articles & books with leaks from intelligence sources & rivers of mud from royalty close friends, servants, & bodyguards, that the book could not be defended on that merit alone.
It also claims to be «astounding [for] blowing the lid off the secrets the Establishment does not want us to know», but that's not true for Al Fayed Senior & plenty of journalists have exposed that & more, a good number of times, even quoting people that this book also cites as sources.
I made myself a duty to read first A Royal Duty (Paul Burrel, 2003) & listening to The Bodyguard's Story (Trevor Rees-Jones 2000), plusa few others, as well as to the grieving father's accusations & the French & English authorities official reports (as far as these have been made public). Naturally I made mental notes of an unexplained point here, a surprising inuendo there, a gross fact overlooked elsewhere. I am not paid to keep tabs on unexplained factsin car crashes, security videotapes that appear & disappear, & relations between who was at the scene of the murder, sorry, the accident when Diana & Dodi (and please do not forget, Monsieur Henri Paul) died.
The merit of this book is that it exposesin a clear, matter-of-fact (at times even irritating) way a possible link of persons & events, through time & space, until they sort of meet at fatal pilar 13, Alma Tunnel, Paris, on the fateful 31 August 1997. The book makes clear that fate did not play a partin this tragedy, that every step of the «actors» was logical per se, & names the people & the institutions that are to blame. Likein some of Agatha Chistie's crime murders, you may end up thinking this is a bit far fetched, but on second reading you realise that the Author did not let a stone unturned, & you can not explain ALL the facts & eventsin a more logical way.
It makes for fascinating reading - & very, very disturbing to people who still accept the idea that we are livingin a law abiding world.
To reach 5 stars the book should have been longer & spell outin dense footnotes it's sources. Not that I doubt things & sources are true, as I remember having read them first placein the world media.
It's nonsense - By: , 18 Oct 2005 
If you are a member of the Cult of Diana, who believes Diana was a fairy tale princessvictim of the royal family, you'll like this book. If you are looking for balanced unbiased reporting, look elsewhere.
Those who tend to fall for conspiracy theories will no doubt already believe this one. Others will see that this book presents no real evidence of any plots.
