I listened to your translation of Mill House Murders last month. Great work, I look forward to the next one - even if I didn’t really care for the Mill House case itself. <br /><br />I love the audiobooks Pushkin has been putting out. The narrator’s lilting Australian accent adds so much.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-39691964423387478832023-10-19T23:54:31.126+02:002023-10-19T23:54:31.126+02:00Thank you for the info.

It's really cool to hear the book is actually being read for a course!<br /><br />As the product page is already put on Amazon UK, it's probably already safe for me to say it out loud, but the third book, The Labyrinth House Murders, will be released too and is at the moment scheduled for a release next year!

I told them about your translation of THE MILL HOUSE MURDERS, and they seemed very interested in reading it on their own. I sincerely hope you will be able to translate additional entries in the series. I saw -- I believe on this very blog -- that Kawaminami makes a return appearance in a later book. The students were very intrigued by that development -- and the possibility of further details about the killer's fate being revealed in later works. As a fellow mystery fan and scholar, I'm happy to have found this blog. Keep up the good work!Calvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09761004274929655801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-2206173275718779142023-05-26T18:34:20.149+02:002023-05-26T18:34:20.149+02:00This is my white whale.

I assume you also already know about The Meiji Guillotine Murders being released by Pushkin? I was also asked at that time to myself suggest a few honkaku titles I thought worth translating, and Meiji was on that list I sent, so I might have an idea about other future titles too :PHo-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-90043366970283857022023-04-13T12:29:50.954+02:002023-04-13T12:29:50.954+02:00Well, well, well... it looks like I was right agai...Well, well, well... it looks like I was right again. Well, sort of. I was half right. <br /><br />Pushkin Vertigo is going to publish Akimitsu Takagi's <i>The Noh Mask Murder</i> next year. I knew a new translation was coming the moment I learned they were going to reprint <i>The Tattoo Murder</i>. I can smell these locked room mysteries across space and time!

I can agree that once you think of what the solution could be, it seems very obvious, but that does allow you to see the clues better I think, and that's a lot of fun too (I had to keep post-its for the clues to make sure I got all of them XD).<br /><br />I sure hope too I can announce I'm working on another of Pushkin's books on this blog in the future again :DHo-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-45242174563741141772023-03-30T08:00:52.525+02:002023-03-30T08:00:52.525+02:00Finished it yesterday, very enjoyable!
