Layover in Dubai Audiobook (Unabridged)

" The plot of the book was well written but felt a bit cliche. I would prefer to give it 3.5 stars instead of 4 but I'm limited to full star ratings. In general through, it was a good, light, easy to read thriller but just don't expect anything deep or new here. "

" liked this one very much. reminded me of the bourne trilogy series. good read "

" Quite enjoyable with Dubai in the centre role. Nice quick read "

" A pretty good read really. A mix of big city undercurrents and traditions of Arabic life. "

" exciting, well written, though a bit predictable at times. a fun, quick, light read. "

" Provided a really interesting insight into life in the Emirates, as well as being an entertaining read. Slightly seedy but probably necessary given the subject matter. "

" Auditor caught up in corporate corruption in an exotic land. "

" Interesting characters and an engaging story. "

" 4 stars within the Thriller genre for me. I always enjoy the non-serial ones, this one had good characters and an interesting setting. I found it much more compelling that Arms Maker of Berlin, also by Fesperman. "

" I actually read this during a layover in Dubai. My only requirement for a book was one that would keep me awake, and this one did that very well. In addition, I learned a lot about Dubai's shady underbelly and it's suspense and crime was very fun to read. Yay. "

" Great story! Lots of fast paced excitement and I loved learning some little things about the culture of Dubai. "

" Fun, readable thriller. Most of the interest comes not from the rather timeworn plot, but from the details of life in Dubai. "

" A little slow to start but the story matures and sucks you in. Some exciting twists and a good splash of local color combine to make this story well worht the time. "

" well written mystery - plot keeps you on the edge of your seat. "

" My first time to read a Dan Fesperman novel. At the beginning, I thought I might stop reading it, but I'm glad I continued! I don't normally read international crime fiction, but it grew on me! Loved the twist at the end. I will definitely try more of his work. "

" The plot started off strong but lost some of its momentum. But the real "main character" of the book is Dubai itself, which Fesperman captures accurately and atmospherically. "

" I heard about this author from one of my favorite book podcasts, Books on the Nightstand. I really enjoyed it. Basically a well written thriller, with more than usual character development. I am looking forward to reading more by this author. "

" Didn't love this book. It's supposed to be a thriller - but really didn't seem too exciting. The most interesting part was learning about the culture of Dubai. "

" Decently written thriller with rather simplistic plot. What makes the book worth reading, is the decription of Dubai. It appears the plot is designed to give us a tour of the various sides of life in Dubai. A rather superficial tour, but interesting nonetheless. "

" Amazing as always--both the mystery and especially the setting--learned a lot but the writing is just superior for every reason. "

" Enjoyed the insight given of Dubai and all the internal happenings of the place . The plot and characters are average but keeps you involved. "

" Provided a really interesting insight into life in the Emirates, as well as being an entertaining read. Slightly seedy but probably necessary given the subject matter. "

" An average mystery/thriller book with not much mystery or thrills. The city of Dubai was the main star of this book. Don't ever want to work at one of those labour camps! "
