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!

Reeder invites you into her tale with a relaxing peaceful approach - a fun excursion to Turkey between two adoring friends. Dining on wonderful food, beautiful hotels, and deep dives into complicated Turkey, you soon learn that the complications are more than they appear. Reeder takes a twist and before you know it you are in special ops training preparing for a life or death mission that leads you over the Sat-Cilo Mountains and straight into the heart of a tangled love affair. Reeder leaves you just as you are invited, relaxed and rejuvenated......only wanting more and more.

A must read!

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.

Couldn't put the book down! The book is full of both adventure and romance. Very interesting information about Kurdish and Turkish culture as well. Highly recommended reading.

I enjoyed this novel and hope to see more by this talented author.
