	Mystery Ethnic Amazon US PB Amazon Canada PB Winner 1997 Agatha Award (Best First Mystery Novel) "Rei is working as an English teacher in Tokyo and sharing a flat, fighting off various attempts to reduce her independence. A festive season winter holiday to a rural retreat is interrupted by the murder of another hotel guest. Rei gets caught up in a series of escapades trying to find out whodunit. Sharpening her interest in the mystery is that one of the suspects is an attractive but infuriating Scottish guy called Hugh, and she doesn't want to believe that someone she likes is a killer. There are lots of familiar ingredients from other mysteries here, but I really enjoyed this page turner. I thought the contradictions in Rei's position - she looks Japanese to westerners yet is herself a westerner, and is looked down on by some Japanese for her mixed background and disapproved of for her unconventional lifestyle. I'm glad to know I have several more books in the series to look forward to, at least when I can find them!" - Luci Davin - RAM
