About this listen

In 1940s Japan, the wealthy head of the Inugami clan dies, and his family eagerly await the reading of the will. But no sooner are its strange details revealed than a series of bizarre, gruesome murders begins. Detective Kindaichi must unravel the clan’s terrible secrets of forbidden liaisons, monstrous cruelty and hidden identities to find the murderer, and lift the curse wreaking its bloody revenge on the Inugamis.

Critic Reviews

'With a reputation in Japan to rival Agatha Christie's, the master of ingenious plotting is finally on the case for anglophone readers.' (The Guardian)
'At once familiar and tantalisingly strange ... It's an absolute pleasure to see his work translated at last in these beautifully produced English editions.' (Sunday Times)
'Atmospheric, exciting and knotty whodunits ...' (The Japan Times)
'A testament to the power of the simple murder mystery and its enduring appeal.' (The Spectator)

A nice combination of Sherlock Holmes & Agatha Christie - with a distinctive Japanese flavour - ideal beginning to Far East mystery fiction

Nice old fashioned mystery
