PDL's International Mystery Book Group discussion

Finding Nouf tells a moving and mysterious story, but also gives readers a peek into the world of conservative Muslims in Saudi Arabia. How do Muslim customs hinder Nayir and Katya in their investigation? How do these customs help the investigators?

I was expecting to see more creativity on Nayir’s part to work around his inability to question the women directly.

I was kind of hoping for that too! I don't know how the author would have done it, but I was picturing something from Aladdin with Nayiir diving into a window or possibly risking himself by dressing up as a woman and sneaking in... The plot is fine as it is, but a little more suspense or creativity would have made it even better.
