Death Comes to Los Angeles

There's a serial killer loose in Los Angeles and super-sleuth L is on the case. Along with Naomi Misora, a former FBI agent, he helps the LA police solve the grisly crimes.

There's a Serial Killer Loose in Los Angeles and the local authorities need help fast. For some reason the killer has been leaving a string of maddeningly arcane clues at each crime scene. Each of these clues, it seems, is an indecipherable roadmap to the next murder.

Onto the scene comes L, the mysterious super-sleuth. Despite his peculiar working habits--he's never shown his face in public, for example--he's the most decorated detective in the world and has never tackled a cased he hasn't been able to crack.

But this time he needs help.

Enlisting the services of an FBI agent named Naomi Misora, L starts snooping around the City of Angels. It soon becomes apparent that the killing spree is a psychotic riddle designed specifically to engage L in a battle of wits. Stuck in the middle between killer and investigator, it's up to Misora to navigate both the dead bodies and the egos to solve the Los Angeles BB Murder Cases.

BOOK IS AMAZING however...

Reviewed in the United States on November 16, 2020

Verified Purchase

This review isn't about the story itself. Years ago I purchased a copy when it was first published (I collect Death Note everything) and now that I'm older have a job and can afford to keep collecting I saw that new copies were still being sold so I ordered from here. The white portion of the book's cover has a few stains and smudges, as well as the black velvet like texture of the cover shows weird... crumbs? I purchased a new book but it looks like it's used. 2/5 do not recommend ordering this book from here. HOWEVER-- it is a great read if you find another seller someplace else!

Beautiful book, great story!

Amazing book! Can’t put it down! If you are a fan of Death Note, and especially of L, this is a must-have. For the beautiful quality of the book, I found the price to be very reasonable. I posted some pics of the outside of the book, as well as a couple of the opening pages - just reading those will make you want this book if you love L! Narration by Mello.

Great background with a great story

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2017

Verified Purchase

Chances are that, if you are a Death Note fan, you are craving a continuation of this amazing series. Death Note: Another Note is set before the famed series. The premise of the story is that Mello, who readers will know from the original series, wrote a book detailing one of the three stories the famous L told him about his past.

The story in question details The Los Angeles BB Murder Case. This case, which revolves around the mysterious detective, Ryuzaki, and Naomi Misora, who readers will recognize from the original series, as they try to solve a string of murders in LA. This novel gives us a background to the characters in later series and helps readers develop a deeper understanding of L's world before the Death Note.

Overall a fun prequel to Death Note

Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2020

Verified Purchase

Story is pretty solid, it isn't super long it's a concise but entertaining read overall. It's not the same thrill you'd get from the main Death Note story but it simply adds another layer to the Death Note universe which is awesome if you're someone who wants to spend a little more time in it. I'd argue it's a little darker than the anime not because of the scale of death of course but because of how it actually details specific deaths that we normally would just hear about or not see entirely. Also it's a book so I guess it just depends on how messed up you want it to be in your head lol

Oh and the physical copy doesn't look like how it says it does, but i'm fine with what I got :) (has an attached book mark string thing that I can't think of the name of)

We all know the story is good, so I'll review the specs of the physical book. The pages are the softest pages I've held between my fingers in my entire life. I love them. I also like the cover, and how it was designed. (The black part of the cover is fabric)
The white part of the cover has a nice texture and all of the materials are very good. It is the highest quality book Ive had in years.
I give 4 stars because the silver ink is very delicate on the side of the book and started fading on the fabric which is a bummer because you cant grab the book without touching it.

Its a very good book, but also a bit delicate. Still, Id recommend it.

To Crack an Impossible Case, You Have to Think Outside the Box

Reviewed in the United States on August 15, 2015

Verified Purchase

Death Note: Another Note - The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases is an companion novel to the hit TV show Death Note following Naomi Misora as she works with a mysterious detective named Ryuzaki as they tackle the seemingly impossible BB murder Cases and put a stop of the mysterious killer whom we come to learn as Beyond Birthday. This novel brings more understanding to the characters that we met in the show and even gives you an insight to the briefly mentioned serial killer named Beyond Birthday.

Death Note: Another Note - The Los Angeles BB Murder Cases

I had a good time reading this novel authored by Nisioisin. It follows the way the manga traced. I can say it is smart, I got fooled by the plot, I thought I could predict the story, but it blew my mind when I went to a main turning point (which I am not commenting here, it's up to you to read it). I think you may like reading this novel after reading the manga, or at least watching the anime; eventhough it is a prequel, you'll enjoy it much more reading as I suggested, although it is not necessary to read manga before, you can grasp the plot the other way around. I awarded four stars because the conclusion of the novel was a little bit forced, I would like it to have some more pages to give it the ending that the novel deserved.

Best Crime Story ever

Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2020

Verified Purchase

As a huge fan of Death Note, I loved this book. It was like Sherlock Holmes met anime and a touch of the supernatural. Or if Sherlock and Moriarty decided to solve a case together. The plot twist was amazing, and knew how to manipulate the reader beautifully without leaving us feeling cheated at the end. We think we know better than the character, but then it was the reader who was tricked all along. Perfect!

Nice book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on November 17, 2020

Verified Purchase

First of all the design on the book is amazing, from the dust cover to the individual pages (not to mention the occasional illustrations before each chapter.) The story is good too and it’s outstanding how the writers have been able to make Misora (who was in the realms of things a small character) to have a whole personality and story, furthermore it’s nice to see more of L in action. However the story can move a bit slowly at times (especially for such a small book) and some of the story is sort coming out of nowhere but it’s an easy read and overall great book, of course I’d recommend reading only if you’ve read Death Note (or at the very least up until Near is introduced.)

Makes a great "Birthday" gift!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 29, 2014

Verified Purchase

This is one of few books without pictures in it that I read on a regular basis; the font is larger than standard books I own so it's easier on my eyes and doesn't require me to use my glasses which is convenient should they be unavailable.
The white sheet on the book is removable, and the black base is canvas in the copy I own and is very resilient. The card overlay did wear after a while and I had to remove it, but it's no major loss.
I bought a second copy for a friend and she's a far more dedicated reader of books than I am, and even she enjoys this one and proudly shows it in her collection.

A good read and a worthy purchase for any Death Note or murder-mystery fan.
