The Salaryman's Wife

• Laura Joh Rowland The Salaryman's Wife Sujata Massey   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.

• Jonnie Jacobs The Salaryman's Wife Sujata Massey   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.

• Barbara D'Amato The Salaryman's Wife 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!

• Janet Evanovich The Salaryman's Wife Sujata Massey   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.
