Book Summary
A twisty and ingenious classic Japanese murder mystery from the author of The Decagon House MurdersThe remote Clock House is filled with priceless timepieces from across the world. It is also rumoured to be haunted by the spirit of a dead girl. A team of ghosthunters visit the mansion to investigate, but their stay has barely begun when one of them is gruesomely murdered, and the survivors realize that they are trapped inside the house with a killer...As the murderers bloody spree continues, the team are picked off one by one. Can the brilliant detective Shimada Kiyoshi crack the enigma of the Clock House before all those inside have been slain? And can you guess the solution before he does?PRAISE FOR THE BIZARRE HOUSE MYSTERIESA knowing tribute to classic crime, it features all manner of puzzles, including locked rooms, jigsaws and magic tricks - Mark Sanderson, The TimesFiendish foul play... Ayatsujis skillful, furious pacing propels the narrative... This is a homage to Golden Age detective fiction, but its also unabashed entertainment - Sarah Weinman New York TimesA psychological-mystical thriller built on tropes from cozier crime fiction. Agatha Christie-type stopwatch sequences and John Dickson Carr-style locked-room conundrums coexist with Poe-like Gothic sequences full of severed limbs and charred flesh... No one can accuse Mr. Ayatsuji of not sustaining the eerie mood of his strange story until its very last sentence Wall Street JournalThe dnouement was fiendishly clever... An engaging, entertaining mystery with a puzzle fit for the most ardent of armchair detectives NB Magazine
