The last person Alice Shipley expected to see since arriving in Tangier with her new husband was Lucy Mason. After the accident at Bennington, the two friendsâ??once inseparable roommatesâ??haven't spoken in over a year. But there Lucy was, trying to make things right and return to their old rhythms. 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. Lucyâ??always fearless and independentâ??helps Alice emerge from her flat and explore the country.

But soon a familiar feeling starts to overtake Aliceâ??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 a sharp dagger of an audiobookâ??a debut so tightly wound, so replete with exotic imagery and charm, so full of precise details and extraordinary craftsmanship, it will leave you absolutely breathless.

A psychological thriller taking place in an exotic and mysterious location .
Unfortunately, stupid and ignorant people abound making it frustrating for the reader. If you enjoy screaming at characters, you'll be doing it often with this one. Still, I liked it. ( )

Alice Shipley y Lucy Mason eran inseparables: aunque con pasados totalmente opuestos, sus días en la universidad se sucedieron entre risas, aventuras y libros. Hasta que algo sucede que las aleja para siempre. Alice pronto se casa y, en un arrebato de amor, se traslada a vivir a la tormentosa Tánger de 1956, un Marruecos que se acerca peligrosamente a su fin colonial y bulle repleto de conspiraciones. Pero la ciudad blanca no es lo que Alice esperaba: con John siempre ausente, ni el exotismo de sus calles ni la fragancia de sus aromas logran despertar su interés.
Pero un buen día Lucy llamará a su puerta; su aparición será un maravilloso soplo de aire fresco y juntas descubrirán un Tánger muy diferente, más misterioso, mucho más peligroso.
Cuando el pasado vuelva a acecharlas y la sombra de un asesinato se cierna sobre sus vidas, Alice y Lucy se darán cuenta de que sus días felices en Tánger se han acabado para siempre.

Holy shit that was terrible on so many levels. Seriously. Complete crap. Flat characters, an insane amount of gaslighting, and my bullshit meter exploded. I wouldn't have finished it at all except it was my suggestion for the upcoming Cocktail Hour show and I subjected two of my friends to it so I felt it was my duty. Ugh. At least we'll have fun talking about it. So there's that...

Self-absorbed psycho lesbian murderess and her victim in the first person. Mostly in tangiers, not that the place makes a difference. Who couldn't relate to such empathetic characters? ( )

I listened to the audio version of this book narrated by Barrie Kreinik and Erin Mallon. The funny thing is that I thought it was the same person voicing both Alice and Lucy. But, I noticed when the audiobook has started only Barrie Kreinik is listed as a narrator. So, no wonder I thought that it was one person. It didn't help that they voiced was very similar, only with Alice voice being softer. Anyway, that's beside the point, the narrators did a good job with this book. Part of the charm of this book was how easy the book was to listen to.

Nevertheless, I found myself having trouble connecting with the characters. I didn't think they were fleshed out enough to make me care for them. Sure, we get background events on both Alice and Lucy, but I found myself thinking after I finished the book that I couldn't see them before my eyes while I listened to the book. Frankly, all the characters felt a bit flat to me. The same thing could I say about Tangier. Because of the lack of connection with the characters and not feeling the atmosphere of Tangier couldn't I completely be engrossed in the story.

However, there was something about the story that made me continue listening, a need to know what really happened when Alice and Lucy went to school and what would happen next. I may not be totally engrossed in the story, but I was curious to know more all the way through the book. I can't say that the book surprised me, but the last part, when you realize where everything is going is quite good.

Tangerine is a so-so so book. I kind of liked the book, but I never really found myself completely enjoying the book. Perhaps if the characters had been more fleshed out and if the city had been better described in a way that I have felt transported to it had the book worked better. ( )
