4.0 out of 5 stars
4 & 1/2 star mystery set in Japan,
By
This review is from: Sayonara, Sweet Amaryllis (Mass Market Paperback)
This is one of a series of mysteries set in Japan but usually concerning expatriates from different countries. The main character, Superintendent Otani is a traditionalist in many ways, but very likable overall as is his wife who participates in the 5 books I've read so far. The series is intriguing not only in the mysteries presented and solved, but also in the depiction of life in Japan at the time and the relationships among the various nationalities involved. This book differs from the others I've read in that there is a bit more action--mostly they're armchair mysteries more or less. Also, the plot is a bit more involved. The books are all rather short (about 150 pages or so), very easy reading, and very enjoyable. It's quite easy to appreciate the delightful characterizations (even if they're a bit simplistic) of the primary characters such as Inspectors Ninja and Kiumura). I plan to read the entire series.
