5.0
This is my 3rd Rei Shimura book (not read in order for some reason). As a spy book this book or the Rei Shimura series so far is nothing to write home about. No edge of the seat excitement, no spycraft, dead drops, etc.
However, as a drama book on the life of Rei Shimura who does spying on the side, her love life, life in Japan, Japanese culture, this book excels and that's what I love about it. No doubt Sunjata Massey is an excellent writer, able to keep her readers glued to their books or tablets. I definitely love this book and this series.
Summary: Doesn't make the most sense. The US government is interested in the unaccounted for increased profits of a Japanese department store and sends Rei over to investigate.
