It is Monday indeed, I've just finished reading Finding Nouf
I enjoyed this book, maybe not so much for the mystery, but for all the stuff I learned about Muslim women. The story takes place in Saudi, in the midst of a wealthy family. A young woman is gone missing, and later found dead. The informal investigation that ensues is the storyline, but, in the process we are plunged into a world that is certainly unknown to me. I had to laugh a bit, since my one sister is reading a series set in Amish country, and I'm in Saudi. Interesting and informative for certain. I like a murder mystery that teaches me something. Not a very long read, and certainly entertaining, if murder can be entertaining. Up Next: The First Grave on the Right, Darynda Jones.
Nothing in my mailbox this week.
Happy Reading. It's Monday... is hosted by Sheila from Book Journey.

I read another book by that author that I found fascinating. I bet this one is too.
Always fun to find out what everyone is reading.
I hope you enjoy First Grave on the Right! Charley is a hoot. Have a great week.
I'll have to check these out. The title of First Grave on the Right has me curious.
This is a gap in my reading as I've not read any books set in Saudi! This one sounds as though it would be a good one to start with.
It's Tuesday now, and I'm still reading what I was reading Monday. Which is a non-fiction book called A Year in the Life of William Shakespeare: 1599 -- by James Shapiro and I am finding it increasingly fascinating.
