This is the seventh book in the Kogoro Akechi collection and my favourite so far!
Book review: 『空飛ぶタイヤ』 by Jun Ikeido
An engrossing corporate novel and by far my favourite book read this year. I highly recommend it!
Summer wrap up
After a long break, I am back to blogging! This is a quick overview of the books I read this Summer.
Book review: 『あの日の君に恋をした、そして』and『そして、その日まで君を愛する』by Koichi Nitori
These two novels are very easy to read in Japanese and can make for a good first novel at N3 level. One is an entertaining mystery and the other one is a love story based on everyday life scenes.
June wrap up
I did not finish my Kogoro Akechi for June, and overall, I was not motivated to read or blog this month.
Book review: 『逃げるな新人外科医』 by Yujiro Nakayama
This is a follow up to the novel 泣くな研修医, and I highly recommend both books. They are engrossing and easy to read.
May wrap up
I read 5 books in May 🙂 including two light novels, medical fiction and crime fiction.
Book review: 『魔術師』 by Edogawa Rampo
Good mystery, spooky scenes, suspense… this book is a delight for fans of the detective and horror genres.
Book review: 『名もなき毒』 by Miyuki Miyabe
Second book in the Saburo Sugimura series, this novel is quite slow and felt very long. I liked it overall, and I want to continue the series, but it is not my favourite detective novel.
Book review: 『猟奇の果』 by Edogawa Rampo
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.
April wrap up
I finished 4 books in April, and I started the second book of the Saburo Sugimura series.
Book review: 『聖母』 by Rikako Akiyoshi
『聖母』 is my first novel by Rikako Akiyoshi but certainly not my last. I was very impressed by this thriller!
