The Noh Mask Murder | Akimitsu Takagi
post image
Pickpick

An old seaside mansion. Dark gothic atmosphere. An exotic setting. Sinister locked-room mystery. Depraved and broken characters. A public prosecutor in search of the truth. Unreliable narrators.
Japan, unsettled nation during the aftermath of WWII. Multiple elaborate murders. Elegant, refined prose. An outstanding translation.
...

Yuki_Onna Continued:
Eerieness creeps through the pages like the seaside mist underlying the story.
Historical murder mystery, social commentary, character study, domestic thriller, gothic literature.
Maybe the perfect book for the perfect time exists. The Noh Mask Murder has it all.
5/5⭐

A hotel in Cornwall, we meet the owners, employees and some of its visitors. Some are hiding something, some are looking for something and some might meet someone from their past.

Once again this author has me in tears several times during this book

What a pleasing, easy read this was! While I haven‘t talked with Emily, my buddy reader, yet, I‘ll say that I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Yes, the cast of characters is large, so it was a bit of a “wait, who‘s that again?” every time there was a change, but it was such a delight to read that that was a minor detail. Predictable? Sure, in some ways, but that doesn‘t make this any less of a comforting pleasure to read. Reminds me of Maeve Binchy.

Buddy reading this with a friend from Booktube and she already finished 2 days ago! (We didn‘t have a set schedule, and she is 6 hours ahead of me, but still.) Looks like I need to get tucked into this today. Oh darn! 😉

Went for a walk and the sky was split in two by the lovely British Summer Weather. Sunny, scattered cloud skies to the East and Thunder storms and rain to the West. It was very blustery but the wind pushed me home and just in time

A gloomy story. This was more “tell” and less “show”. One of the character story lines felt dumped in at the end and made very little sense.
