Hundertundeine Nacht

Dr. Felix Hoffmann #3

by Christoph Spielberg

Nach hundertundeinem Tag erwartet Dr. Felix Hoffmann, Klinikarzt in Berlin, seine Freundin Celine aus dem Irak zurück. Doch sie ist tot, angeblich umgekommen bei einem selbstmörderischen Bombenattentat! Felix glaubt das nicht: Schließlich wollte sie nicht mit Bomben nach Bagdad, sondern mit Hilfsgütern nach Kurdistan. Doch wem kann er bei seinen Nachforschungen trauen? Und warum interessiert sich plötzlich sogar die CIA für den unbedeutenden Krankenhausarzt? Fast zu spät erkennt Felix Hoffmann, daß er unmittelbar vor dem Irak-Krieg in ein internationales Katz-und-Maus-Spiel geraten ist, in dem es um weit mehr geht als um seine verschwundene Freundin ...

I DID NOT READ THIS BOOK, I READ AN ONLINE STORY WITH THE SAME TITLE ABT KAZ AND INEJ

[Dorothy Presnell · Rating 2 out of 5]

A man is looking forward to seeing his girlfriend who has been doing aide work in the middle east and has been gone 101 nights. He soon is notified that she has died in an explosion which she supposedly caused. Not believing this he sets out to clear her name and find out what really happened with great personal risk. What he learns is surprising. The reader will figure it out by the middle of the book which makes the last part of the book less exciting.

[Angie Boyter · Rating 3 out of 5]

I think this is the weakest book in the series (four so far). Instead of being hospital-based, it is an international thriller involving Dr. Hoffman's girlfriend Celine's trip to Iraq to take aid to Kurdish people there. It has too many loose ends and people acting implausibly to be fully satisfactory. Also there are fewer of Hoffman's humorous remarks.
Probably a 3-minus.

I won/received this book through Goodreads.

I loved this book! It's very well written and flows so well that it reads really quickly, which is part of the reason it is hard to put down. I read it straight through and in just a few hours. I found it intriguing and exciting.

This is a well written and put together book. As a Veteran,
this book kind of hit home with me. I picked it up and
did not put it back down until I was finished.
I recommend this book. Give it a shot, you just may find you
like it.

Read it in one day: third of Dr. Hoffmann's adventures... it was different from the first and second. It's not really the same without Celine and her sarcastic comments, but I still loved it!
