Ms. Reader's "Complicated Favors" is able to do what I think few books or even films can - which is pull together romance, adventure and fact seemlessly leaving it's audience bewildered, mesmerized and wiser. I loved this book. I'll be looking for her next offering very soon!

This review is from: Complicated Favors: A Turkish Affair (Paperback)

This is a very exciting first novel written by Jeanne Reeder. Charly and her friend Francis are in Turkey on a tour. She gets to know one of the guides Hakan and finds out he is in Turkish Intelligence. Charly is a CIA Forensic Analyst and gets involved with Hakan on a dangerous mission. Jeanne does a wonderful job describing the Turkish countryside, the people and the plight of the Kurds. I couldn't put this book down once I started reading. I predict there will be a sequel with more adventures of Charly and Hakan.
