I wonder have you read Aisling Foster’s novel about the Irish Crown jewels, called ‘Safe in the Kitchen’? See you soon, Victoria G.
Hi Victoria. I’m only seeing this now. Sorry I didn’t respond. Good to hear from you. I haven’t read it. I did read a fictionalisation by Robert Perrin. I wrote a book on it myself a few years back. See you soon. Myles D
