⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (5/5 stars)
An intriguing and detailed glimpse at one of the most audacious crimes in Great Britain, and the world. This book takes the reader through the infamous Hatton Garden heist in April 2015, yet another grand diamond heist that captured the world's imagination. When all was said and done, it was a group of elderly men who were arrested and convicted of the daring burglary. The author did an immense amount of research and spoke directly to some witnesses involved, including a bartender at the pub where the men met. I appreciate that depth of research! Comparing this one with prolific heists of the past, we see how far technology has come in apprehending criminals. As the book quotes, the men were "analogue criminals" in a digital world. Whether you read this for entertainment or writing research (as I did), be prepared for an adventure.
