First winner of the Mystery Writers of Japan Award (1948), this novel is a classic locked-room mystery and the first case of young detective Kosuke Kindaichi.
Genre: Detective fiction
This book contains two of the most famous novels by Edogawa Rampo: the Black Lizard and the Boy Detectives Club. I enjoyed both, but I found the Boy Detectives Club to be more engrossing and exciting, even though it is written for children.
This is the third book of the Ikagawa series, and it’s very good if you like mystery novels with a lighter tone and a lot of humour that still delivers an engrossing detective case .
This book contains two short novels from the Boy Detectives Club series. Even though they are books for children, they were very pleasant to read!
This novel is about the confrontation between Kogoro Akechi and a mysterious man leopard. It was an entertaining read, not my favourite but quite good.
This novel is one of my least favourite of the series so far. I found the end quite good, but the novel also felt very repetitive after a while.
This is the seventh book in the Kogoro Akechi collection and my favourite so far!
Good mystery, spooky scenes, suspense… this book is a delight for fans of the detective and horror genres.
I did not like this novel as much as the other Akechi stories, but even though I have much to criticise, it was still an enjoyable read.
『蜘蛛男』 is the first novel in the Kogoro Akechi series. A suspenseful battle against the most devilish villain we have seen so far!
