The mystery was a 4.5, but the romance was a 3 so I gave it a 4. I absorb all the details of living as a career-oriented female in Saudi Arabia. I liked the plot, including the romance. Unfortunately, the author teases the reader with tension between the engaged couple, but never lets us see them finally talk (they spend ample time together in the car to make this plausible). Hope a fourth installment comes out eventually....
