Review:
"Timely and provocatively incorrect, Lulu in Marrakech is part page-turning thriller, part in-depth examination of gender inequality and the 'perennial eye infection of colonialism.'"--Oprah.com (Mysteries Every Thinking Woman Should Read)
"She has blended her interest in heavier issues with a lightness of touch... Johnson's novel is not only a gripping page-turner--I don't know when I last just plain enjoyed reading a novel as much as this one--but a serious examination of how a "good person" can get involved in some very dark things."--Martin Rubin, SFGATE
"As the bemused observer of a complicated, chatty multicultural social set--and her own complicated romantic yearnings--[Lulu]'s a cool, self-aware delight."--Entertainment Weekly
"Johnson breaks new ground by making her American expatriate a CIA spy in Morocco... As stimulating as Johnson's previous work."--Kirkus Reviews
