One the best reads so far this year. I will definitely be looking up and reading her previous two books. Well plotted well written, and completely new, at least to me.

This is essentially a police procedural set around a newly discovered serial killer. What makes it a great read is that it is set in Saudi Arabia, with all of the cultural differences that are part of that society - the role of women (not in the work place, to be sure) the role of foreigners (doing all the jobs Saudi will not) the role of religion in everyday life, etc

The main character appears at first to be a male detective but soon shifts to a female forensics technician who wishes to be more.

I am eagerly anticipating her earlier books and l
ooking forward to more views of a way of life that I really know nothing about.
