An excellent mystery Novel in the crime section, this book
is set in Israel ,
to be more precise, in a little Israeli settlement called Oranit along the
Green Zone. When a Arab Collaborator is found dead, no one blinks twice at
making the body disappear and hushing the whole thing up. But a few years
later, when a new piece of this puzzle is found, the case is reluctantly
reopened and Jeannie, an employee at the Shin Bet Security service is tasked
with closing it again as soon as possible. However, the convoluted trail of black
market smuggling amongst other crimes, leads Jeannie to suspect almost everyone
in town.
This murder mystery is entertaining, and grips you at the
right moments. You get all the mystery and political machinations of the minor
politicians who want to keep their hands clean and other nefarious, evil
people, but along the way, the author throws in enough humor to keep this book
from getting too dark. I do agree with the other reviewer that a little more
editing would have made this novel much better, but other than that it is a
solid story.
