A review by audreybethc
The Honjin Murders by Seishi Yokomizo

dark mysterious sad fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Plot
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? N/A
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

4.0

I feel like a good themed book pairing  would be this + Penance by Eliza Clark. Both are good commentary on our insidious fascination with and exploitation of tragic & gruesome murders as a form of entertainment.
