Title: Huh?
Review: So many people liked this book that I couldn't wait to curl up with it. However, I kept scratching my head when the plot was trite and too many thin similies were used. As for showing the world of the geisha, I was most intrigued by Hatsumomo and Mamaha but still felt these characters were not built to my satisfaction; the bad cop was too bad and the good cop was too good. It was Mr. Golden's first effort and unfortunately completes my experience for this author. I felt like it was basically a harlequin romance veiled as a high-brow novel.
