Diana the Abduction: Mystery Solved is a book under the non-fiction category written by Rania Alammar.

A year after the divorce of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, the princess was killed in a car accident in France in August 31, 1997. The princess, her boyfriend Imad Al Fayed known as Dodi, Dodi’s bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones and the driver and head of security of the Ritz Hotel Henri Paul perished when the Mercedes they were in crashed in the thirteenth pillar of the Pont d’Alma tunnel at 00:23, while being chased by paparazzi. While Henri and Dodi died right away, the princess was taken to the La Pitié Salpêtrière Hospital and died at 4:00 from internal bleeding caused by rupture in pulmonary vein.

There were two main assumptions concerning the event. First, the accident was caused by the recklessness and alcohol intoxication of the driver. Second, the event was a deliberate murder instigated by the Royal Family against Princess Diana who was said to be pregnant by Dodi Al-Fayed at the time of the accident. In this book, the author offered a third conclusion and that is the princess did not die that night but was rather kidnapped and was replaced by the body of a different woman.

The author’s shocking assumption is supported by evidence gathered through several years of research from various investigative books. Among her most important sources are: Cover Up of a Royal Murder: Hundreds of Errors in the Paget Report and How They Murdered Princess Diana, both by John Morgan, Princess Diana: The Evidence by Jon King and John Beveridge and Diana: Death of a Goddess by David Cohen.

The author’s inference was based on multiple discrepancies in recorded information and testimonies, fabricated and otherwise, of involved individuals. Among the most interesting facts pointed out in this book were the following: failure of the cameras to capture a picture of the accident, two different entries of Princess Diana’s time of arrival at the hospital, two different documents of entry for the princess with the same file number, different and inconsistent descriptions of the princess after the accident like terrible injuries and not at all disfigured which led to the author’s assumption that there was another body besides that of Princess Diana.

The book is, first and foremost, interesting and easily catches the attention of the reader as early as the first five pages. The assumptions brought forward, outrageous as they are, are supported by the evidence presented making the author’s arguments very convincing. The fluidity of the writing makes the book easy to read and understand. All the issues raised are thoroughly addressed and the claims substantiated. The event is chronologically narrated giving the reader the feeling of being walked through from the scene of the accident, at the hospital and even in London. The statements are well referenced with sources appropriately cited.

I, therefore, give this book the rate of 4 out of 4 stars. It is interesting, concise and well written. I recommend it, first to the fans of the beloved princess, then to readers who love crime and conspiracy stories.

Great review! I considered selecting this book several weeks ago, but I read so much about the investigation into Princess Diana's death after it happened that I think my brain went into Diana overload.

Glad you enjoyed the book.

This is an definite must-read for me. I remember this tragedy as if it were yesterday. I will never forget coming home late one evening to hear the news of her accident. This review has peaked my interest because I've long thought that the family (who I won't refer to as royal) was involved with her death and highly disapproved of her being with Al Fayed.
