Omar Yussef Mystery

review 1: Unfortunately, the library did not have the first in the series, which I now have to track down to read. I'm giving Samaritan's Secret full marks for the complex setting: Palestine with the various factions pitted against each other in violence for events both centuries and minutes old. But I found Omar's musings about who might have done what and why (they are sprinkled in the text in italics) distracting since they appeared to be red herrings and only confused me. Still, a fine series that I intend to keep reading.
review 2: This series just gets better and better. Now, I'm learning to listen to the main character more, and I really like Omar Yussef. He's the sort of character I really like--he's a man with integrity. For years, I was so engrossed in Robert... more B. Parker's character Spenser. Omar Yussef reminds me of Spenser, because he is loyal to his friends and really tries to bring about justice even though that might mean bending the law a bit. Mr. Rees also builds a compelling plot and his settings make the Middle East come alive. This novel was finely crafted and very enjoyable. Kudos to Mr. Rees. less
