Zoe Ferraris's debut of Finding Nouf offers an unprecedented window into Saudi Arabia and the lives of men and women there. Nouf is a rich, protected teenage girl in one of the most rigidly gender-segregated of Middle Eastern societies. Nouf goes missing, along with a truck and her favorite camel and Nayir al-Sharqi, a desert guide is hired to lead a search party. Nouf's body is discovered by anonymous desert travelers and the coroner's office determines that Nouf died not of dehydration but from drowning, and her family seems suspiciously uninterested in getting at the truth. Nayir takes it upon himself to find out what really happened to her.
I found this book to be a page-turner and very well written. The characters were unforgettable and I look forward to reading the next book in the series. There were lots of twists and turns and the ending was a complete surprise. I highly recommend this book to those who like psychological suspense.
