The Salaryman's Wife
The Salaryman's Wife | Sujata Massey
5 posts | 12 read | 13 to read
Japanese-American Rei Shimura is a 27-year-old English teacher living in one of Tokyo's seediest neighborhoods. She doesn't make much money, but she wouldn't go back home to California even if she had a free ticket (which, thanks to her parents, she does.) Her independence is threatened however, when a getaway to an ancient castle town is marred by murder. Rei is the first to find the beautiful wife of a high-powered businessman, dead in the snow. Taking charge, as usual, Rei searches for clues by crashing a funeral, posing as a bar-girl, and somehow ending up pursued by police and paparazzi alike. In the meantime, she manages to piece together a strange, ever-changing puzzleone that is built on lies and held together by years of sex and deception.

Being restricted to mostly #audiobooks at the moment (for medical reasons) has me digging deeper into my library‘s holdings. I enjoyed Massey‘s more recent Perveen Mistry series so I‘m pleased to find this older series. The first volume introduces MC Rei, a Japanese American woman living in Tokyo in the 1990s. It‘s a cozy mystery with a dash of romance and I liked this well enough to be already immersed in book 2.

"My readers have taught me that the very act of picking up a book is a declaration of wanting to step out of one's world." ~Sujata Massey. Thanks to MWA for sending this essay & great TBR collage to my job! (You give awards to a lot of white guys, MWA, but you're working on it.) #TBR #diversemysteries #womenwriters

This is a great series about a 27-year old Japanese-American living in Tokyo who gets caught up in a mysterious murder. Much, but not all, of the series takes place in Japan. I'd put it in the cozy mystery category, but it's been a long time since I read them so I might be wrong. #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge #setinasia

Suzze Love Sujata! 8y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @BellaBookNook I lost track of this series several years ago, but this prompt brought it back for me. I'm excited to catch up! 8y
