The book club members who read this book for our Sujata Massey collection, somewhat enjoyed the mystery however found the setting of the main character (her varying professions etc.) rather contrived. The overall score was 5/10. ( ) The setup: Fashion-obsessed Rei Shimura has just turned thirty and is offered a peculiar job: try to discover whether or not an ex-boyfriend now owns a priceless treasure from Iraq, thought to be stolen in the post-Invasion looting of the National Museum. She's sent to Japan on this secret mission for a nameless federal agency. Review: While readable overall, Rei comes across as immature and somewhat dumb. She obsesses about shoes and clothes all the time. Massey's writing is uneven, featuring painfully stilted conversations. And the idea that turning thirty means entering the "winter" of one's life is pretty ludicrous. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Pertenece a las seriesRei Shimura (8)
A young woman with a foothold in two cultures, Rei Shimura has gone wherever fortune and her unruly passions have led her throughout her chaotic twenties. Now, after the streamers for her thirtieth birthday celebration have been taken down, the Japanese-American antiques dealer and part-time sleuth finds herself with an assignment to find and authenticate an ancient Middle Eastern pitcher that disappeared from Iraq's national museum. The piece is believed to be in the hands of a wealthy Japanese collector, whose passion for beauty extends to Rei herself. But when a devastating typhoon hits Tokyo, Rei is trapped with the object of her investigation--and with much much more than the fate of an ancient pitcher at risk.
