Book Review: If you like medieval Japan...
Summary: 4 Stars
you will love this book. Plot is adequate, characterization a little stiff, but for a brief snowy vacation in Northern Japan, this is perfect.Book Review: Intriguing
Summary: 4 Stars
The opening forward hooks you right into the action. Although this is one in a series, it doesn't spend an extraordinary amount of time rehashing the characters pasts. The plot is satisfyingly cunning while the character development is entertaining.Book Review: Japanese Medival Mystery

I love these books for their portrayal of Japanese culture - and the mysteries are all right, too! I have even tried to get each of her short stories from old Alfred Hitchcock magazines. Don't miss these if you love historical fiction/mysteries.Book Review: series keeps getting better
Summary: 5 Stars
A rich and textured novel set in 11th century Japan reveals layers of society in a period not much known by Westerners. Sugawara Akitada, a minor government official with a penchant for finding truth is sent to a far northern province to analyze accounts and serve as goveror. He immediately finds himself surrounded by intrigue and, with bodies piling up in his makeshift morgue, there plenty of immediate problems to solve. Rebelling warlords, secretive outcasts, and the sexual shenanagans of ordinary folk are almost too much for one man to manage, but Akitada threads his way through the morass and unravels the tangled mysteries. A fine read, and terrific listen!
