Disturbing News About Hurricane Gold

I was reading a By Royal Command Spoiler earlier this afternoon when a certain sentence caught my eye:

At the same time, By Royal Command is a kinder and gentler Young Bond novel that doesn’t have nearly the level of gruesome violence that has become a hallmark of the series (and may have actually gone too far in the last book).

What do you think happens in Hurricane Gold, and why did it go too far?
