"The Mystery of the Desert Lights", by Mohd Sulaiman


Robert and Fahad book #1

68 pages or so novella

Set in the desert of Abu Dhabi, Robert and Fahad see a sudden light in the desert, an unusual sight. They decide to investigate.

In short story, I always feel something is lacking. Here this drama is missing suspense and intrigue as well as a denouement hard to guess. The mystery is rather shallow, dull and boring. Most of all it is not particularly well-written and needs a lot of work to bring the style up to par.

Not for me for sure
