I am only half way through the book but one thing that is standing out to me is Baldacci'a poor understanding of British culture. In all my trips to the U.K. None of the British women I have met & known ever swore. In fact the language used is more Australian & more male than female with phrases such as bloody & blimey more out of the Australian vernacular of the 50's & 60's.
