Özet

In the winter of 1937, the village of Okamura is abuzz with excitement over the forthcoming wedding of a son of the grand Ichiyanagi family. But amid the gossip over the approaching festivities, there is also a worrying rumour – it seems a sinister masked man has been asking questions about the Ichiyanagis around the village.

Then, on the night of the wedding, the Ichiyanagi family are woken by a terrible scream, followed by the sound of eerie music – death has come to Okamura, leaving no trace but a bloody samurai sword, thrust into the pristine snow outside the house. The murder seems impossible, but amateur detective Kosuke Kindaichi is determined to get to the bottom of it.

Eleştirmen yorumları

"A classic locked-room murder mystery, the first in the Detective Kindaichi series.... The solution to this mystery came as a complete surprise - exactly what I asked for." (New York Times Book Review)

"The perfect read for this time of year. Short and compelling, it will appeal to fans of Agatha Christie looking for a new case to break." (Irish Times)

"Japan's Agatha Christie.... It's an absolute pleasure to see his work translated at last in these beautifully produced English editions." (Sunday Times)

I tried to listen to this title but found the narrator irritating. It was hard to concentrate on the story. I will buy the book instead rather than listen on Audible.

Poor performancd by narrator

wears it's influences on its sleeve but this is up there with Agatha Christie and Conan Doyle's best.

Excellent locked room mystery

This is an incredible locked room murder case. One of the best I’ve ever listened to/read. However, it is letdown somewhat by the rather poor performance from the reader. He does his very best, but his performance is stilted and the reader makes a few mistakes in their reading of the book. Apart from that, I can highly recommend this audiobook because of the story and the incredible writing.

Brilliant story, poor performance

Interesting plot in an unusual setting (for a western audience). The story fits right in with the classics of Japanese detective novels.
A couple of excellent poly twists and unexpected turns made for a very engaging listen.
Contrary to some reviewers, I found the narrator to be excellent, with a thankfully good pronunciation of Japanese names.

Borderline classic

Japanese- New Zealand accent was unusual and fun.

Story is beautifully twisty.

Short but sweet.

Masterful story

Bir sorun oluştu. Lütfen birkaç dakika sonra tekrar deneyin.
