With a reputation in Japan to rival Agatha Christie's, the master of ingenious plotting is finally on the case for anglophone readers * Guardian *

The diabolically twisted plotting is top-notch * New York Times *
Atmospheric, exciting and knotty whodunits. The covers alone are enough to get any fan of the genre salivating * Japan Times *
Another legendary Yokomizo book... A campy and delightful detective novel * Books and Bao *
Has a touch of Agatha Christie but with so much added spice. There are plenty of twists, red herrings, and suspects in this monkey puzzle of a story. Japan has a wonderful history of crime writing, and Yokomizo is one of their finest authors * NB Magazine *
A gory tale of family greed, honour, revenge and loyalty with plenty of red herrings. Full of action and with a detective like no other * Live and Deadly *
You cannot go wrong with this delicious Japanese whodunnit set in the 1940s... There are a handful of suspects, an unusual will, too-many-heirs, masked men, doppelgängers and treacherous family secrets * Vogue India *
Highly enjoyable... I polished this off in a single sitting... The novel's atmosphere and my curiosity about just how high the body count would end up being kept me riveted -- Mysteries Ahoy
