Helpful Score: 2

I loved this book. The mystery is a page turner in itself. Add to that the rare look into Saudia Arabian culture that is absolutely facinating. The author is an American who lived in Saudia Arabia, and she offers a unique insight into that culture. The story goes back and forth between and man and a woman's point of view, and shows how the culture impacts how they view the world. The author doesn't condemn or promote Saudian Arabian culture. She treats the subject with utmost respect, and her characters are good people who are shaped by the culture in which they are raised. I couldn't wait to get my hands on the sequel, "City of Veils". I liked "Finding Nouf" a little better, but if you like the book, the sequel won't disappoint.
