Thank you to the publisher for a copy in exchange for a review.
I was very impressed by The Night Tiger (4 stars) so I was so excited to take a chance at The Fox Wife.
This is the kind of book that you need to sit and enjoy slowly. If you’re looking for a quick read, this isn’t it. However if you want something to savor over a few days, I highly recommend.
The Fox Wife is a dual POV story that follows Snow, a fox who wants to avenge her daughter, and Bao, a detective who investigates the death of a young woman found in a doorway.
The story spans from China to Japan and back and is filled with mythology and mystery. If you’re looking for a story where all plot lines are tied up in pretty bows at the end, this isn’t it.
I recommend on audio!
