Summary
Japanese-American Rei Shimura is a 27-year-old English teacher living in one of Tokyo's seediest neighborhoods. She doesn't make much money, but she wouldn't go back home to California even if she had a free ticket (which, thanks to her parents, she does). Her independence is threatened however, when a getaway to an ancient castle town is marred by murder.
Rei is the first to find the beautiful wife of a high-powered businessman, dead in the snow. Taking charge, as usual, Rei searches for clues by crashing a funeral, posing as a bar-girl, and somehow ending up pursued by police and paparazzi alike. In the meantime, she manages to piece together a strange, ever-changing puzzle-one that is built on lies and held together by years of sex and deception.

Hugh Scottish?
Loved the story and most of the performance but as a Scot living in Scotland it was a shame the main male character (meant to be Scottish) had on Irish accent.

Poor narrator
What sort of accent did the narrator have for a Scotsman? It sounded rather like someone gargling with bleach. Awful!
