I really recommend this book if you are looking for mystery short stories and want to discover new authors!
Book review: 『大金塊｜怪人二十面相』by Edogawa Rampo
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!
『人間豹』by Edogawa Rampo
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.
Book review: 『黄金仮面』 by Edogawa Rampo
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.
Book review: 『プレゼント』by Nanami Wakatake
This is a collection of short stories featuring both Akira Hamura and detective Shuntaro Kobayashi. It is the first book of the Akira Hamura series.
『吸血鬼』by Edogawa Rampo
This is the seventh book in the Kogoro Akechi collection and my favourite so far!
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.
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!
Book review: 『告白』 by Kanae Minato
告白 is Kanae Minato’s most famous work and my favourite so far. This book is fantastic, highly recommended!
Book review: 『満願』 by Honobu Yonezawa
This collection of short stories has been ranked first in three different rankings for mystery novels.
