  • A fiendish, classic locked room murder mystery, from one of Japan's greatest crime writers, that’s perfect for fans of Lucy Foley and Ruth Ware“An exceptional whodunit... The brilliant and intricate plot will keep readers turning the pages.”  --Publishers Weekly, starred review “Seishi Yokomizo took a pinch of John Dickson Carr and a dash of Agatha Christie in creating Kosuke Kindaichi, solver of impossible crimes... Kosuke’s arrival on Gokumon Island coincides with a string of bizarre and gruesome murders. As deaths mount, the quirky, endearing detective strings together the clues to solve this fiendish puzzle.”  -- Sarah Weinman, New York TimesDetective Kosuke Kindaichi arrives on the remote Gokumon Island bearing tragic news—his friend and fellow soldier, the son of one of the island's most important families has died, on a troop transport ship bringing him back home after the Second World War. But Kindaichi has not come merely as a messenger--with his last words, the dying man warned that his three step-sisters' lives would now be in danger. The scruffy detective is determined to get to the bottom of this mysterious prophecy, and to protect the three women if he can.As Kindaichi attempts to unravel the island's secrets, a series of gruesome murders begins. He investigates, but soon finds himself in mortal danger from both the unknown killer and the clannish locals, who resent this outsider meddling in their affairs.Loosely inspired by Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, the sensational second outing of Japan’s most famous detective is perhaps the most highly regarded of all the great Seishi Yokomizo's classic Japanese mysteries.

Murder Editorial Review

  • ubuy Aruba

**** In the expansive realm of mystery literature, this latest installment in the series has garnered a varied reception from readers. While some devoted fans are drawn to the author's unique style and the intricate weaving of horror and mystery elements—especially those with an appreciation for classic haiku and Japanese Kabuki—others have found themselves somewhat disappointed. Several reviewers have praised the book's ability to maintain suspense through its multiple murders and unexpected twists, allowing readers to stay engaged until the very end. The book's atmosphere evokes the haunting essence of the island, creating a vivid setting that captures the reader's imagination. However, contrasting opinions have emerged surrounding character development and the pacing of the narrative. Some feedback indicates that the character portrayal lacks depth and vivacity compared to previous volumes, leading to a sense of disconnect for readers. This edition shifts its focus more towards Kindaichi's perspective, potentially at the expense of building suspense, which some fans found lacking. The writing, Considered by some as "decent," veers away from the stage-play style of earlier entries and instead offers a closer, real-time experience with Kindaichi. Yet, the effect of this shift on the overall enjoyment of the story seems mixed, with criticisms directed at the dialogue's clarity—particularly in conversations with multiple characters. Overall, while there are commendable elements present, such as the engaging mystery plot and atmospheric writing, the book may leave some readers feeling underwhelmed if they were expecting the rich suspense and character depth found in earlier installments. **
