I’m really loving Futari Okajima’s horse racing mysteries, 焦茶色のパステル is as good as あした天気にしておくれ, and I recommend both!
Book review: 『13階段』by Kazuaki Takano
A book about wrongful conviction and capital punishment with an engrossing investigation.
Book review: 『写楽殺人事件』by Katsuhiko Takahashi
I would not recommend this book if your are looking for a murder mystery about art and ukiyo-e. But if you are interested in the mystery of Sharaku’s true identity, this book is for you!
