5.0 out of 5 stars Deep-Minded Story, May 19, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Third Lady (Mass Market Paperback)

This story is not an exception of her "deep-minded" stories. I felt thrilled and anxious while reading it. Several months after reading, I am still deeply "into" the plot. The male main role is a common university professor, and it is thrilling to see how a common person can have an uncommon life course after a small event. (This seems to be an attractive aspect of Natsuki's books; "common" persons can be involved in uncommon events.) I plan to read it again in the near future.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than Strangers on a Train..., June 13, 2000

This review is from: The Third Lady (Mass Market Paperback)

...well, better than Strangers as expressed in the Hitchcock film -- I have not read the Patricia Highsmith novel. The Third Lady starts with basically the same premise, but adds an extra moral dimension that I wouldn't dream of giving away. A fine work of suspense that provides a moving character payoff at the conclusion.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very unique twist!, February 5, 2002

This review is from: The Third Lady (Mass Market Paperback)

Outstanding suspense story with an ending that you'll never guess (I kept trying to right up to the very last page but was still wrong). Two strangers (both Japanese) have a chance meeting in France, and, from there, a very unusual suspense evolves.
