Lady Joker, Volume Two by Kaoru Takamura
3.0
I wanted to love this book and I think if I had read Volume 1 before it I would have. However, I found it slower than what I typically love.
This is less of a crime story and more of a novel about corporate japan, espionage and greed. And whilst they are interesting and riveting aspects I found the multiple changes of POV confusing in audiobook format. It was hard to keep track of each character and instead led more to me becoming disengaged.
This is nothing against the book which is a solid book and more that the book just wasn't for me.
Glad I read it though and only just realised it was inspired by a real life kidnapping.
