City of Veils: A Novel Audiobook

" CSI set in Saudi Arabia. "

" This was a wonderful sequel to "Finding Nouf". It was great to see what transpired in the interim between Nayir and Katya, while engrossing the reader in another good murder mystery, in a restrictive culture where the truth is not always easily discerned. "

" I was drawn to Katya and Nayir in Finding Nouf and it's great to have these characters back In City of Veils. This book is entertaining and exciting. "

" I started off skeptical, but was really surprised and pleased to find myself really getting into the novel - not able to put it down or wanting to get back to it as soon as possible. The storyline was so intriguing and things that I learned about Saudi culture was definitely mind opening. Unfortunately, the storyline's crescendo led to an anti-climatic ending that left me quite disappointed. "

" Fascinating crime novel set in Jeddah, giving insight into Saudi society and law. Well worth reading, if you are interested in the country and or like your crime/procedural reads. You also get an idea of what it's like for women living and working there. "

" Good mystery and a very interesting portrait of a typically closed society. Women may have a more important role in Saudi society than I first thought. "

" It started off alright. I was fascinated with the whole male/female issue in Jeddah but that soon wears thin. I couldn't keep my interest and I didn't finish it. "

" Great book that provided unique insight into the complexities of Saudi culture, while weaving an interesting mystery tale. "

" Well-written, thought-provoking mystery set in Saudi Arabia. I liked the way the protagonist does not overwhelm the story, but rather weaves in and out of the plot. "

" This books is very interesting. It is set in Saudi Arabia and brings into play both conservatives and liberal Muslims as the main characters attempt to solve a murder mystery. "

" .. Great story and wonderful character development "

" Enjoyed this one very much. Hope there are more in the series coming out. "

" Another wonderful book from Ferraris! "

" Loved this mystery, which features a female CSI technician in Saudi Arabia. You get a feel for the complexities of Saudi society, and the difficulties a female in a field dominated by men have. I immediately started another in this series. "

" The second Zoe Ferraris book I've read. A very intense view inside Saudi Arabia. "

" It's rare to find a novel that takes you into the veiled world of Saudi Arabia. The deatils of life there add to this engrossing mystery. "

" I really like this series. It is a look at a modern culture that is new to me. "

" Sequel to Finding Noef, I liked this one even better. Great mystery plus a look at life as a woman in Saudi Arabia. This one has an American woman as a character as well as Muslim women. The horrors of a dust storm play a part in this one as well. Definitely recommend it. "

" Loved the cultural focus. The story and plot were good. Will read another by this author. "

" I loved Finding Nouf, and I think this one is even better. Bringing an American couple into the Saudi world was a brilliant choice. "

" Loved it, can't wait for her next book. "

" More like 3 1/2 -- not as good as the first novel, but still enjoyable. "

" Fascinating look at the lives of women in Saudi Arabia through a straightforward mystery. Horrifying. Just about to start her first book. "

" Good mystery and a very interesting portrait of a typically closed society. Women may have a more important role in Saudi society than I first thought. "

" Interesting book - a crime novel set in the city of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Very atmospheric showing a culture which is literally and figuratively foreign to westerners... and how a female detective copes in such a society. "

" I like this series very much, though I liked the first one better than the second one. "

" A murder mystery set in Jeddah. I like the way the author conveyed the way of life in this muslim city and revealed snippets of information throughout the book to keep you guessing to the end. "

" Great book and excellent sequel. I can't wait for the next one!!! "
