Aaargh. Too much to read, too little time. And too hot to read. It's really too hot here. =_=Ho-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8031063966272508587.post-91875405499224838552012-07-22T09:00:14.199+02:002012-07-22T09:00:14.199+02:00Now imagine a whole book with Hoshikage only poppi...Now imagine a whole book with Hoshikage only popping up near the end for the lengthy denouement and you have the <i>Villa Lilac Case</i>! It's awesome nonetheless as there's so much crammed into it and even though the murderer isn't that difficult to guess it's one of the more rewarding denouements I've read so far.<br /><br />The only stories in this first collection I really loved were <i>Akai Misshitsu</i> and <i>Doukeshi no ori</i>, but I urge you to read the other collection as well. It features more variety as it's not just impossible crimes but also several fairly Queen-ish, well-constructed ones and honestly I get the feeling Ayukawa was better in that field. 薔薇荘殺人事件 is one of the best short stories I've read so far and I definitely have to read the full-length version of 朱の絶筆 someday.mousoukyokuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00755066580829504834noreply@blogger.com
