Lulu in Marrakech

Marrakech sounds so romantic.  Quick, what country is it?  You got it, Morocco.  Morocco has a romantic sound to it as well.  So, the title of this book by Diane Johnson about a feckless beginner at the CIA, code named Lulu Sawyer, got me before the first word.  I kept telling myself how I did not like the character or the book, until I finished reading it, closed the cover and turned out the light at 2:30 a.m.  If you like books about the clash of cultures (American, French, Muslim, Arab) or women who take on non-standard roles or careers, like detectives, bounty hunters or vampire slayers, you, too, may find yourself glued to the pages until Lulu extracts herself from her espionage and romantic misadventures.
