The worst: Apart from the poor basis for a plot being the supply of prayer mats to Saudi Arabia from England, the detail of the story in the UK is poor. The authors should note trains in the UK are not referred to by numbers but rather their destination, and they can easily be stopped by signals. Places to park cars are car parks, not parking structures. A Daimler rental car - really in 2005, especially for someone wanting to be discreet. A danish pastry from McDonalds - as if! Too much detail of road numbers, when a compass direction would suffice.
