Kingdom of Strangers by Zoe Ferraris

This is the last in the trilogy, at least so far, I would love the author to write some more following their adventures or normal lives, depending on how you look at it. Of the two main characters of these three books. Katya (the forensic scientist) has much more of a role in this one, much more than Nahir (the bedoin guide).

Katya and her co-workers are trying to resolve the murder of 19 women over a period of over 10 years. The author delves a little more into Saudi Arabia life and its intricacies, which most of us have no idea of. This novel is a little darker than the others.
Again there is the presence of an American woman, this time she has come to help with the profiling of a serial killer, but as with all the others, there is another story running alongside with the disappearance of an ex co worker of one of the lead detective of the case.

You will understand, a little more about life in Arab states, about how life is difficult being segregated from men and the lives they have to lead.

This is a great book, best in the series, a cosy murder mystery with no violence or harsh words, and I was glad too read the ending, nice and happy, even though it was a little abrupt. Highly recommended book, but read the other two first, as this will help you understand the relationship between Katya and Nayir. These three books have come to be favourites of mine. Loved the cover and the title, it refers to all the migrant workers living, often in the most terrible conditions, in the country.
