So two goons forcibly take you from a casino, show you no ID. Then drive you off to a yacht and you spill the plot to a stranger.
That is the level of writing by Kay Mellor. So far it seems Monaco has no police force.
Then again when the story shifts to Britain, it has all sorts of coincidences.
Maybe Mellor was thinking about young people muddling through abroad for the first time in their lives.
This must be based on an assumption that northerners have never travelled abroad.
