    Book review:『走れ外科医』by Yujiro Nakayama

    Book review:『走れ外科医』by Yujiro Nakayama

    To me, this book is by far the weakest of the series and I felt much disappointed when reading it. I still like the series overall and recommend to try the first novel!

    Book review: 『少年探偵団|黒蜥蜴』by Edogawa Rampo

    Book review: 『少年探偵団|黒蜥蜴』by Edogawa Rampo

    This book contains two of the most famous novels by Edogawa Rampo: the Black Lizard and the Boy Detectives Club. I enjoyed both, but I found the Boy Detectives Club to be more engrossing and exciting, even though it is written for children.

    Book review: 『完全犯罪に猫は何匹必要か?』by Tokuya Higashigawa

    Book review: 『完全犯罪に猫は何匹必要か?』by Tokuya Higashigawa

    This is the third book of the Ikagawa series, and it’s very good if you like mystery novels with a lighter tone and a lot of humour that still delivers an engrossing detective case .
