Book Review of The Salaryman's Wife (Rei Shimura, Bk 1)

The Salaryman's Wife (Rei Shimura, Bk 1)

Helpful Score: 1


This book is a mess. I was interested in reading a mystery set in Japan as I am currently living in Japan. I would be surprise to learn that Sujita Massey had been to Japan in the last 20 years. This is a very basic murder-mystery book that leans heavily on a setting made of cliche's about Japan, most of which were really outdated when this book was written. On top of that the heroin, Rei, is flat. She just doesn't have any personality. So just skip this waste of time book.
