The Salaryman's Wife, Sujita Massey
This was an award winning mystery, given to me by Steve prior to my first trip to Japan. I had not ever gotten around to it, but on my return flight from my latest trip, I finally got to it. I can't say it was worth the wait. It took a while to get into. I also had a hard time keeping track of the character's emotions. It felt like I was supposed to gain a lot of information from the bits of dialogue. But, I often found myself wondering why somebody was leaving mad, only to assume that the line I read must have been delivered in a different manner than what I expected. The mystery aspect was one that was left open, with lots of questions and red herrings, pointing fingers one way or the other. But, I knew whodunnit very early. My image of the book was not helped by the concluding Scooby Doo factor, complete with the actual use of the word "meddling", as in, I would have gotten away with it if it hadn't been for your meddling (or you meddling kids). Turns out this was an introductory book for a series around these characters, and, while I could imagine enjoying them, I just don't think I will be drawn to try them again. There were some cool Japanese references though, places, words I knew, products, etc.

Glad you liked the Japanese references (my motive for getting it for you). I have another genre book with Japanese-references for you that Mom forgot to take with her back to Texas after her most recent visit. I'll get it to you some day soon, I hope.

Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea
shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put
the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her
ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is entirely off topic but I had to
tell someone!

I do believe all of the concepts you have introduced for your
post. They're really convincing and will definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are too short for starters. May you please lengthen them a bit from subsequent time? Thank you for the post.
