Reviews
'Plenty of golden age ingredients... and a truly ingenious solution.' - Guardian 'The beauty of this book is that it's never anything less than fun from beginning to end, but it is also smartly political, and the theatrical elements - the fourth wall-breaking, the static setting, the large cast of eclectic characters - make for a truly engrossing novel. This is, in short, a superb winter read.' - Books and Bao ' The Honjin Mysteries is beautifully writing and highly descriptive, rich in period detail and local custom. It's an ingenious and deceptive mystery. An ideal book to curl up with on a winter's night.' - NB Magazine 'The master of Japanese crime.' - Tuttolibri 'A rich family dynasty, an impending wedding, rumors of a sinister masked man, all in the dead of winter: What more could you ask for?' - Japan Times, "20 of the Best Classic Murder Mystery Books of All Time", Town & Country Magazine "A classic locked-room murder mystery, the first in the Detective Kindaichi series . . . The solution to this mystery came as a complete surprise--exactly what I asked for." -- New York Times Book Review "With a reputation in Japan to rival Agatha Christie's, the master of ingenious plotting is finally on the case for anglophone readers." -- Guardian "A beloved Japanese detective at last appears in English . . . If the whole series is as ingenious and compelling, this translation should be the first of many. Readers will delight in the blind turns, red herrings and dubious alibis." -- Economist "The perfect read for this time of year. Short and compelling, it will appeal to fans of Agatha Christie looking for a new case to break." -- Irish Times "Both [ The Honjin Murders and The Inugami Curse are] set in the late 1930s/early 1940s, they promise to be atmospheric, exciting and knotty whodunits. The covers alone are enough to get any fan of the genre salivating." -- Japan Times "Japan's Agatha Christie . . . It's an absolute pleasure to see his work translated at last in these beautifully produced English editions." -- Sunday Times "The perfect gift for any fan of classic crime fiction or locked room mysteries." --Mrs Peabody Investigates "The beauty of this book is that it's never anything less than fun from beginning to end, but it is also smartly political, and the theatrical elements--the fourth wall-breaking, the static setting, the large cast of eclectic characters--make for a truly engrossing novel." --Books and Bao " The Honjin Mysteries is beautifully writing and highly descriptive, rich in period detail and local custom.

Doesn't fail to deliver in its extremely fun and chilling premise. You'll be reading way past your bedtime." -- LitReactor "Think you got a Sherlock Holmes knack for crime puzzles?

Synopsis
One of Japan's greatest classic murder mysteries, introducing their best loved detective, translated into English for the first time In the winter of 1937, the village of Okamura is abuzz with excitement over the forthcoming wedding of a son of the grand Ichiyanagi family. But amid the gossip over the approaching festivities, there is also a worrying rumour - it seems a sinister masked man has been asking questions around the village. Then, on the night of the wedding, the Ichiyanagi household are woken by a terrible scream, followed by the sound of eerie music. Death has come to Okamura, leaving no trace but a bloody samurai sword, thrust into the pristine snow outside the house. Soon, amateur detective Kosuke Kindaichi is on the scene to investigate what will become a legendary murder case, but can this scruffy sleuth solve a seemingly impossible crime? Yokomizo is perhaps the most popular and feted crime writer in his country's history. His richly atmospheric classic mysteries are a treat for any fan of Golden Age whodunits, taking the reader all over post-war Japan, from remote mountain villages to pirate-plagued islands and the bustling streets of Tokyo. Yokomizo loved to craft ingenious puzzle plots, inspired by the greats of British and American crime, such as John Dickson Carr or Agatha Christie, while his detective, Kosuke Kindaichi, is everything a reader could want from a sleuth: brilliant, eccentric, charming, and unassuming enough to be fatally underestimated by many a murderer. . ., One of Japan's greatest classic murder mysteries, introducing their best loved detective, translated into English for the first time In the winter of 1937, the village of Okamura is abuzz with excitement over the forthcoming wedding of a son of the grand Ichiyanagi family.
