The Salaryman's Wife
(The first book in the Rei Shimura series)(1997)
A novel by
Sujata Massey
| "When a wealthy tourist is murdered at a hotel in the Japanese Alps, Rei Shimura, an American whose father is Japanese, is drawn into the case. Rei is a wonderful character, sympathetic to both halves of her ancestry and a splendid addition to the world of fictional sleuths. The book is a magic carpet to the Japanese Alps, and serves up murder as well. Great reading!" Barbara D'Amato |
| "A witty, perceptive take on how contemporary society clashes with traditional culture in modern Japan. Rei Shimura, the irreverent, likable Japanese-American heroine, straddles East and West with aplomb. I enjoyed her adventures and hope there will be more of them." Laura Joh Rowland |
| "A terrific debut, crafted with surprising twists and turns and steeped in the flavor of contemporary Japan. Writing in a style as smart and snappy as her heroine, Sujata Massey brings a fresh perspective to the traditional mystery. Readers are in for a real treat." Jonnie Jacobs |
| "Sujata Massey blasts her way into fiction with The Salaryman's Wife, a novel chronicling life and death in Generation X Tokyo. A cross-cultural mystery of manners with a decidedly sexy edge." Janet Evanovich |
During a sightseeing trip, Rei Shimura, a young Japanese-American English teacher living in Tokyo, stumbles upon the body of the wife of a powerful businessman and turns sleuth to solve the crime, crashing a funeral, masquerading as a bar girl, and pursued by police in her search for clues.
