Summary
The perfect listen for fans of Daphne du Maurier and Patricia Highsmith, set in 1950s Morocco, Tangerine is a gripping psychological literary thriller.
The last person Alice Shipley expected to see since arriving in Tangier with her new husband was Lucy Mason. After the horrific accident at Bennington, the two friends - once inseparable roommates - haven't spoken in over a year. But Lucy is standing there, trying to make things right. Perhaps Alice should be happy. She has not adjusted to life in Morocco, too afraid to venture out into the bustling medinas and oppressive heat. Lucy, always fearless and independent, helps Alice emerge from her flat and explore the country.
But soon a familiar feeling starts to overtake Alice - she feels controlled and stifled by Lucy at every turn. Then Alice's husband, John, goes missing, and Alice starts to question everything around her: her relationship with her enigmatic friend, her decision to ever come to Tangier, and her very own state of mind.
Tangerine is an extraordinary debut, so tightly wound, so evocative of 1950s Tangier, and so cleverly plotted that it will leave you absolutely breathless.

Hard work in Morocco
Have re-tried several times with this. Nope - it is style over content. Simply screamed obsessive love and fragile woman in oppressed society. I really tried...Please Audible, can I get a Credit refund!?

Over- hyped and over-written
Oh dear what a disappointment! The characters were 2-dimensional, the plot derivative and frankly unbelievable. So many points in the story made no sense at all. I finished it in the hope of a surprise twist - but sadly no twist at all. The writing was very poor too, and despite the frequent repetition of the name “Tangiers”, I was left with very little sense of the place.

Not that good
The story is a female variation of a Patricia Highsmith novel. If you like those you'll like this. I didn't, hence the low score.
The recording itself was good. The idea of having 2 readers, One for each friend worked well I think.

Thoroughly predictable
The story is laid out from the very beginning, there are no surprises, no secrets to learn.
It is plain and dull just like the two main characters. Do yourself a favour and read The Talented Mr. Ripley instead.

Not for me
Unsympathetic characters and predictable. Expected a twist but none came. Narration a bit monotonous. Disappointed.

I wanted to like this but ...
I just couldn't get into this book. I tried several times without success. I think it was that I didn't really like either of the two women enough and I just kept falling asleep listening to it. I liked the idea of the story more than the story itself. I may try it again, sometimes, because I know others have really enjoyed it.

If you like talented mr Ripley you will like this
If you like talented mr Ripley you will like this. I don’t so a bit of a mistake. However it does have a bit of atmosphere with Tangiers.

slow and dull
not worth all the hype, this book is repetitive and unbelievable. the characters are unlikable and flat. the narration adds nothing to the atmosphere or possible tension. a great disappointment.

Good but have enjoyed similar stories more.
May be I'll read it again one day and understand more why it was so successful.

Surely there has to be a twist?
Loved the idea of this book but really didn’t enjoy it very much. Parts were very long winded and dull and I found the characters irritating - particularly Alice. I kept thinking there has to be a great twist at the end of this, but no just a rather lame and frustrating ending. Really didn’t live up to the hype.
