### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    An ingenious and unusual who dunnit, Japan-style
  

*by J***M on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 March 2019*

This is one of a series of 20 or so classic crime 'who dunnit' thrillers from around the world published by Pushkin Vertigo.This story is set in Tokyo in 1979 when an amateur detective and his friend reinvestigate the series of murders from 1936 which included an artist and seven female members of his family, including 2 nieces, 3 step-daughters and 2 daughters. The youngest 6 women are discovered dismembered and buried across Japan at sites with some astrological significance in an incidence known as the 'Tokyo Zodiac Murders'. The artist had penned a bizarre treatise about carrying out such a plan for his own reasons, but he is murdered prior to the women, so he couldn't have done it, or could he??  His murder occurred  in strange circumstances in a locked room. Kazume Ishioka asks his friend and amateur sleuth Kiyoshi Mitarai to investigate.The books is written almost as if it were a true event being re-opened rather than a novel, which it is. It starts with the rambling and very detailed astrological treatise and plan of the artist, Heikichi Umezawa, to recreate an ancient Japanese goddess from the body parts of his female family members. Mad stuff, but a compelling insight into the logic of his mind. It then details the murders and the reinvestigation.  It is unsettling and gruesome in parts, but compelling nonetheless.The solution is clever, but the plot ultimately a bit contrived. However, it is still worthy of high praise because of its unique style and ingenuity. I definitely will read others in this series, and would recommend this to anyone with a devious mind and a strong stomach.

    Japanese noir.

Disturbing story. Probably could have been shorter. Motivation seems improbable.

*by D***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 April 2016*

Take a compelling, intricate, well-written 'locked room' mystery and set it in Japan. What have you got?  Probably my perfect book!  My husband gave me this book as part of my Christmas present (one book, every month for 12 months) and he did his thorough, pain-staking research before choosing The Tokyo Zodiac Murders.  He chose a blinder!An artist spiralling into madness decides to create his perfect woman, Azoth.  To do this he needs to kill and dismember six young woman.  Luckily for him four of his five daughters and his two nieces live in the same house as him so he doesn't have to look too hard for his victims.Unluckily for him he is killed and left in a locked room before he has a chance to create Azoth.  However if Heikichi Umezawa can't make his dream woman then someone else will.  The bodies of the original six young women turn up dead, dismembered and scattered all over Japan.  Does this mean Azoth exists, and if so where is she?The story is told from the perspective of Kazumi Ishioka who decides with his slightly strange friend, Kiyoshi Mitarai, to solve the mystery when they are presented with new evidence.  All of the clues are there for you to solve the mystery yourself so it's a perfect read for amateur sleuths.  The culprit is of course revealed in the end so you're not left disappointed.I couldn't put this book down.  It held my attention as I turned the pages and before I knew it the killer was being revealed!  There are three different investigations to uncover and each one blends seamlessly with the next.  I really warmed to Kazumi Ishioka.  He felt like the bumbling sidekick to Kiyoshi Mitarai's super intelligent super sleuth.  Always three or four steps behind!Did I work out who the murderer was?  No chance I'm afraid.  The book is so intricate and absorbing that I was just enjoying the story and paying little attention to what could and what couldn't be a clue.  I absolutely loved this book and will recommend to anyone who asks in the future.  It really is THAT good.Five out of five stars.
