Just missed really being good; the biggest problem for me was that so much hinged on the narrator, Lulu's, feelings for Ian, which were supposed to be those of love, and which I could never quite feel/believe. So I had to wade through several passages about how much she loved him without actually believe it, making it a little... tedious. A very interesting book for its perspective on Muslim and Moroccan culture, something I know/have read very little about. The ending certainly leaves space for a sequel - I would probably read a sequel to this book. I did enjoy this as a spy book - I haven't read many books like this, and definitely like the intrigue of it, without the flat out mystery that you find in mystery novels.
Lulu arrives in Marrakech, hoping to rekindle her romance with Ian. It's the perfect cover for her assignment with the CIA. But beneath the surface of this polite expatriate community lies a more sinister world laced with double standards and double agents. No library descriptions found. |

It wasn't awful, but wasn't great. The story seemed strained, and it never really got exciting for me.
I wouldn't bother to read any more by this author. ( )
