Small Satoris for van de Wetering,
By A Customer
This review is from: Inspector Saito's Small Satori (Hardcover)
This book is a good and easy read. Especially good for folks who like short mysteries in the Christie/Poirot and Simenon/Maigret style. The stories have a very realistic japanese feel and the characters are very believable. The writing reminds me a bit of Simenon, somewhat economical, definitely a bit psychological, but driven by the narrative and not preachy. The stories are somewhat linked and that adds to the pleasure. I have spent a bit of time in Japan and this book reminds me of the differences between Japanese and Western culture without seeming preachy or moralizing, which is something to be appreciated. I wish he had written more of these. I am hungry for more of Saito's adventures. |
