The Dark Maidens by Rikako Akiyoshi

It's always an wonderful experience, reading a translated book. Especially Russian and Japanese. The mystery around those two cultures are something that keeps me interested throughout.


I have never heard about this writer untill you guys came up with this as group read. And I thank you for this recommendation. Such a novel idea (atleast for me, as reading this author for the first time). And interesting setup for the whodunnit makes it an engaging one and makes you want to finish it at one go. (Which I didn't though). It took me on a ride while one by one story kept opening more and more possibilities for the murder and in the end, gosh ! What a reveal !


Well, any more recommendations from this author ?

Try read "The Dead Returns, Holy Mother, and Scheduled Suicide Day".

My favorite is "Scheduled Suicide Day", The story is so thrilling and heartwarming.
