Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
Grade 8 Up–Masato and Hakura are aspiring mystery writers, penning under the pseudonym Taro Suzuki. Soon, they become embroiled in real-life murders and must put their know-how to the test. When things look grim for the pair, a masked detective mysteriously appears to help them. Each chapter is a separate story. A Detective Appears involves the murder of their classmate (and Masato's potential love interest); in Who Did It? the teens discover a murder at a ghostly hotel while on a class trip. Too Many Detectives involves a murder at a mystery writers' conference; A Dangerous Date once again sees one of Masato's love interests in harm's way. Manga fans of Akino's Petshop of Horrors series (Tokyopop) might be disappointed by the decidedly lighter tone in this volume. However, the book is quick to deliver action and even quicker to provide resolution, making for a fast read that should appeal to the most reluctant reader. With a few bloody scenes, a healthy dose of teen angst, and ghostly occurrences, it should also appeal to a wide variety of teens, including those who have enjoyed Gosho Aoyama's Case Closed series (Viz Media).–Jennifer Feigelman, Goshen Public Library and Historical Society, NY
