Suspense in an exotic setting!

Anne Maybury's "The Midnight Dancers" is a romantic suspense story that takes place in the exotic lushness of Bou Hammagan, North Africa. From England, Catherine comes to Bou Hammagan to join her step daughter and husband who is on location for a job. The sweltering heat and colorful scenery is intoxicating as Catherine dwells in the strangeness of this foreign city. But aside from this beauty, there hides a darkness that is evil. After recieving a mysterious box, which contains a note which says "...Brightness falls from the air, Queens have died young and fair, Dust hath closed dark Catherine's eye...", she realizes that someone is out to do harm to her...or is it to her family? This novel was a delight to read. I can almost see the exotic beauty of Bou Hammagan. The suspense was great. I recommend this book to anyone who loves suspense and a little romance too!
