About this listen

Amid the rubble of post-war Tokyo, inside the grand Tsubaki house, a once-noble family is in mourning.

The old viscount Tsubaki – a brooding, troubled composer – has been found dead.

When the family gather for a divination to conjure the spirit of their departed patriarch, death visits the house once more, and the brilliant Kosuke Kindaichi is called in to investigate.

But before he can get to the truth, Kindaichi must uncover the Tsubakis' most disturbing secrets, while the gruesome murders continue ...

Critic reviews

'Yokomizo at his absolute best … From the ominous opening through the brilliant final reveal, [he] ably blends suspense and fair-play detection … A classic of the genre.' (Publishers Weekly)
All stars
Most relevant
Too long, too over-dramatic, too over-written. A little dated in feel.
Strange pronunciations by the narrator, which go from curious to downright irritating. As usual with audible, there is no producer overseeing such things.

It’s okay
