Trial on Mount Koya

I thoroughly enjoyed this mystery–in fact, I've already looked up the rest of the books, in order to continue reading. ;) The setting and atmosphere drew me in, and I love the dynamic between the two main characters. Plus, of course, the cat. :D

As for the mystery itself, I had a few guesses–one of which came out correct–and overall it was, absolutely, a worthy Christie homage! The motive was fascinating, in its own way, and very intricate.

I love books that can make me feel welcome in another world, and this one absolutely fit the bill!
