PRAISE FOR YUKITO AYATSUJI'S MYSTERIES 'Very clever indeed' Anthony Horowitz 'From the first page you know you're in the hands of a master... Flawless' Ian Moore, author of Death and Croissants 'You will love this quasi-Christie locked-room mystery' The Times and Sunday Times Crime Club --_THE TWISTY AND INGENIOUS THIRD INSTALLEMENT IN THE BIZARRE HOUSE MYSTERIES The famed mystery writer Miyagaki Yotaro lives a life of seclusion in the remote Labyrinth House. When Yotaro invites four young crime authors to his home for a birthday party, they are honoured to accept. But no sooner have they arrived than they are confronted with a shocking death, then lured into a bizarre, deadly competition... As the twisted contest gathers pace, murder follows murder. The ingenious sleuth Shimada Kiyoshi investigates, but can he solve the mystery of the house before all those trapped in its labyrinth are dead? And can you guess the solution before he does?
"This is a fun and clever mystery that works well as a standalone, though three additional books exist in the series for those interested. Fans of locked room mysteries will enjoy this unique take."
—Booklist
"For fans of twisty Japanese mysteries, golden age mystery tropes, crime writer characters, and remote settings"
—Book Riot
"A clever postmodern locked room mystery [which] owes more than a small debt to Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. But Ayatsuji does Christie one better... A multilayered fictional trap"
