Beschreibung
Use your powers of logic and deduction to solve this classic honkaku puzzler--the Japanese tradition of detective fiction--in this delicious twisty murder mystery! In Osaka, dark secrets haunt a wealthy merchant family throughout the first half of the 20th century . . . In 1906, the young heir to the Omari family business climbs to the top of a Panorama and vanishes. In 1914, a fight between two mysterious figures on a bridge tragically ends with one falling to their death. In 1943, as war rages on, the once illustrious family has fallen. Both potential heirs have been drafted into war, and a string of strange and violent happenings has beset the house of Omari. Combining the classic honkaku mystery and Golden Age crime writing with the trappings of historical fiction, it's easy to see why Murder in the House of Ōmari is an award-winning sensation in Japan! Set in Semba (modern-day Osaka), this gripping murder mystery twists and turns with dark secrets, red herrings, and the turbulent history of Japan in the early 20th century.
