À propos de cet audio
The Ninja Daughter is an action-packed thriller about a Chinese-Norwegian modern-day ninja with Joy Luck Club family issues who fights the Los Angeles Ukrainian mob, sex traffickers, and her own family to save two desperate women and an innocent child.
After her sister is raped and murdered, Lily Wong dedicates her life and ninja skills to the protection of women. But her mission is complicated. Not only does she live above the Chinese restaurant owned by her Norwegian father and inspired by the recipes of her Chinese mother, but she has to hide her true self from her Hong Kong tiger mom, who is already disappointed at her less-than-feminine ways, and who would be horrified if she knew what she had become.
But when a woman and her son she escorted safely to an abused women’s shelter return home to dangerous consequences, Lily is forced to not only confront her family and her past, but team up with a mysterious - and very lethal - stranger to rescue them.

Amazing characters; good mystery
This book was so strange and hard to categorize at first, but I'm glad it was narrated by the amazing Natalie Naudus so I stuck with it until the end. Her voice is beautiful and, while she has some quirks to how she speaks that might not jive with everyone, I enjoy them and even more so her acting. I always appreciate a voice actor who can make it obvious when a man or woman is speaking without losing the nuance and emotion in what they say.
Back to the story: Lily is a bit of a vigilante or maybe you could call her an enforcer for the good guys. I think it took me about half the book to appreciate that Audible has indeed categorized the correctly by labeling it a P.I and detective story, but once I did I realized it not only fit that it was a good example of the genre. Lily isn't a licensed P.I., but her work protecting women and children requires her to investigate their lives to understand the threats against them and do her best to keep them safe. While amateur detective would technically be more accurate than P.I., I'd say this book definitely fits the tropes and mood better for P.I. than amateur detective.
And besides all that, the characters in this book are outstanding. Their backstories and who they bond with, have trouble bonding with, and why are nuanced and complex. It took me awhile to get into this book, but the payoff was more than worth it.
