ReviewsPraise for The Decagon House Murders: 'A knowing tribute to classic crime, it features all manner of puzzles, including locked rooms, jigsaws and magic tricks' - Mark Sanderson 'Highly ingenious' - Guardian , Best Crime and Thrillers 'Very clever indeed' - Anthony Horowitz 'Fiendish foul play... taking its cues from Agatha Christie's locked-room classic And Then There Were None... Ayatsuji's skillful, furious pacing propels the narrative... This is a homage to Golden Age detective fiction, but it's also unabashed entertainment' - Sarah Weinman, "If you enjoyed Yukito Ayatsuji's ingenious The Decagon House Murders - and how could you not? - you will love this quasi-Christie locked-room mystery." -- The Times and Sunday Times Crime Club, "If you enjoyed Yukito Ayatsuji's ingenious The Decagon House Murders - and how could you not? - you will love this quasi-Christie locked-room mystery." -- The Times and Sunday Times Crime Club "Another ingenious puzzle... John Dickson Carr would be proud to come up with as clever a locked room mystery as this... exceptional fun and superbly plotted." --Paul Burke, Crime Time FM

This year, however, the visit is disrupted by an impossible disappearance, the theft of a painting and a series of baffling murders. The brilliant Kiyoshi Shimada arrives to investigate. But will he uncover the truth, and will you be able to solve the mystery of the Mill House Murders before he does?, *Perfect for fans of Uketsu's Strange Pictures and Strange Houses* "A psychological-mystical thriller built on Agatha Christie-type stopwatch sequences and John Dickson Carr-style locked-room conundrums...
